Guess what? It’s already funded. In fact, more than funded. After only 9 days.
Just think how quickly you could get funding if you were the writer of BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, ETerNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND, and ADAPTATION., working with the creator of COMMUNITY.

So here we are in the middle of another of the periodic deluges of Sherlock Holmes re-imaginings, re-boots, and pastiches, some of which were, are or will be wonderful, others of which were/are/will be trash. Which got me to thinking: Over the years, which branch of the Holmes tree have I enjoyed the most?

The Teen Choice Awards were held last night, and guess what winner wasn’t picked?
Why, that’s right. You’re amazing. There was no “Best Teleplay” or “Best Screenplay” award. No “Best Teleplay” or “Best Screenplay” category either.
We know, we know…teens don’t pay attention to the creators of their beloved shows and films and can’t be expected to. Only – they do. At least, when it came to books we and our friends certainly knew who the good writers were not so long ago when we were that age…and the bad ones too.
New Star Trek TV show could be an animated series
by Charlie Jane Anders (io9)A new Star Trek TV show is looking slightly more likely than it was a little while ago, judging from the slightly cryptic interview movie producer Roberto Orci gave TrekMovie the other day. Orci says the talks over a Trek television show aren’t real yet, but “they are almost real.” Adds Orci, “The relevant parties haven’t sat down in a room together, but they have sent messages through intermediaries.”
In other words, any TV show is probably a long way off, since the “relevant parties” haven’t even spoken face to face yet, including CBS. There may have been some semaphore action.
And it sounds like Orci, at least, is most excited about the idea of an animated Trek series — given that an animated show would have the least risk of “cannibalizing” demand for a third Trek movie, assuming it starts right before or after J.J. Abrams’ second movie. (Much like the way Tron: Uprising isn’t seen as killing the demand for a third Tron movie — probably the reverse, if anything.) And Orci seems to think it could involve the cast of the movies, having adventures in between the films. So, similar to the 1970s animated series, in other words.
