The Return Of TV Sci-fi
Full Story at The Day
The USA Network has had great success with sci-fi series such as “The Dead Zone” and “The 4400.”
“We think it's phenomenal that the networks are now joining the bandwagon,” said Bonnie Hammer, president of USA and the Sci-Fi Channel. “There's kind of been a negative cachet attached with admitting you like science fiction. Now people might be a little bit more open to saying, “OK, I guess I do like it.
David Ogden Stiers In The News
Full Story at Oregon Live
Venerable TV actors Ed Asner and David Ogden Stiers put in a pitch for Oregon as a filming location Monday, as Gov. Ted Kulongoski signed a bill aimed at improving the state's appeal to the film and television industry.
The Greenlight Oregon program offers tax and sales rebates to movie and TV production companies that spend more than $1 million in the state in one year.
Oregon has been the location for movies such as "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest," "Free Willy," "Animal House" and "Drugstore Cowboy," directed by Portland-based filmmaker Gus Van Sant.
But Stiers -- who co-starred in the TV series M*A*S*H -- said Canada has been drawing production companies away from Oregon, including a new series in Vancouver, B.C., where he begins work today.
"It seems incomprehensible to me that a state as geographically varied and beautiful and inviting and friendly as Oregon is, needs additional inducements or incentives to offer on a business level to get the film business here," said Stiers, who lives on the Oregon Coast.
