Tribute to Richard Matheson

Tribute to Richard Matheson
June 25th, 2013 12:26:18 pm

We've lost one of the giants of the fantasy and horror genres. From THE BEARDLESS WARRIORS,
his brilliant (and largely unread) World War II novel, to THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN and
all the wonderful TWILIGHT ZONE scripts and stories, Matheson fired the imaginations of three
generations of writers. Without his I AM LEGEND, there would have been no NIGHT OF THE
LIVING DEAD; without NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, there would have been no WALKING DEAD,
28 DAYS LATER, or WORLD WAR Z. Matheson wrote the script for Steven Spielberg's
extraordinary film, DUEL, and created one of the most brain-freezingly frightening haunted
house novels of the 20th century in HELL HOUSE. He fired my imagination by placing his
horrors not in European castles and Lovecraftian universes, but in American scenes I knew
and could relate to. "I want to do that," I thought. "I must do that." Matheson showed the
way. In addition to that, he was a gentleman who was always willing to give a young writer
a hand up. I will miss his kindness and erudition. He lived a full life, raised a fine family,
and gave us unforgettable stories, novels, TV shows, and movies. That's good. Nevertheless,
I mourn his loss. A uniquely American voice has been silenced.

Stephen King

My weekend with Dexter

Posted: June 24, 2013, 12:14

I have spent the weekend with Dexter. You know the guy who works as a forensics expert for Miami police during the day and moonlights as a serial killer during the night. Well, on June 30 the 8th and last season premiers but I was lucky enough to get a press kit this past Thursday and to my joy it didn’t just include the first episode but the first four episodes of season 8. Off course I had no intention to hold of seeing them. Instead I saw them all this weekend and even though I’m no closer to figuring out how it will all end I loved every minute of it. The only downside is that now I have to wait until July 28 for a new episode…

New review book

Posted: June 19, 2013, 12:11

Twenty-First Century King
by Bev Vincent

About the Book:
Since the turn of the century, Bev Vincent, author of The Stephen King Illustrated Companion and The Road to the Dark Tower, has been reviewing the works of Stephen King. These reviews have been published in a variety of venues, including Onyx Reviews, The Essential Stephen King, FEARnet, the Conroe Courier, and Cemetery Dance magazine.

Twenty-First Century King collects these reviews for the first time, starting with Riding the Bullet, King's first published work after his near-fatal accident in 1999. The twenty-one reviews (amounting to nearly 21,000 words) cover works of non-fiction, collections, collaborations, pseudonymous works and novels, including five books from the Dark Tower series.

Order here and check out an interview with Bev from the Lilja & Lou Podcast.

Golden Years re-released

Posted: June 19, 2013, 11:11

Did you know that King did a TV series called Golden Years? Well he did. Back in 1991 CBS aired 7 episodes before the series was canceled. Needless to say the ending of the series was very disappointing so for the VHS release (back then most releases were on VHS) they did a different ending that, even if it gave you something close to a closure was pretty bad. Most releases was also shortened from 416 minutes to 236.

The original series with seven episodes has been released on a DVD from The Netherlands but that’s the only place I have seen it. My guess is that this re-release is the shorter version. Here is a trailer…

Rachelle Lefevre at HuffPost Live

Posted: June 18, 2013, 07:51

So, for those of you that didn’t catch it live, here’s the “HuffPost Live” segment with actress Rachelle Lefevre who plays Julia Shumway in Under the Dome. Rachelle was great even though my own performance was somewhat mediocre. I totally misjudged the lightning you need for a thing like this and like the host Jacob Soboroff says, it looks foggy in Sweden :-) The sound acted up as well but in the end I managed to ask Rachelle my question and I’m happy I got the chance to join in! I appear about 9.5 minutes into the segment.

President Obama not Under the Dome

Posted: June 17, 2013, 11:20

Apparently CBS originally used a speech delivered by President Obama in the pilot for Under the Dome but then got concerns about using actual audio in this specific fictional context and decided to edit it out.

Audio from a President Obama speech delivered in the wake of Hurricane Sandy had been used in an episode of CBS ‘s Under The Dome but has since been cut, the network confirms. “The audio of the President in the final scene will change,” said CBS in an official statement. “The scene cleared broadcast standards, but both Amblin TV and CBS had concerns about using actual audio in this specific fictional context.” The Stephen King adaptation premiering June 24 follows the residents of a small town that becomes isolated from the outside world by an invisible barrier. The Obama clip had been briefly integrated into fictional news reports on the events within the show at the end of the episode. The version sent to critics for review two weeks ago was not final. CBS and Amblin Entertainment opted to edit out the audio on Thursday.

Ghost tour

Posted: June 14, 2013, 13:13

Looks like Ghost Brothers of Darkland County will be in a different format when it tours...

It's being done as a radio play format, i.e. instead of a play with sets as it was done in Atlanta, the actors will read their lines and sing the songs as though it was being broadcast to a radio audience and will be backed up by a live band. That is necessary because the tour is being done very quickly from one city to the next and this will save production time and costs to not have to do the stage set ups.
