MOVIE NEWS Indiana Jones: The Movie 4- The first draft of the script from Jeffrey Boam is getting good reviews form the creators. Steven Spielberg has made some changes, and George has a few more changes to do. The script will next go to Harrison Ford for approval. Then it's up to the gods to determine when George, Steven, and Harrison's schedules will coincide. The project is definitely alive, and it's a good script. The only question now is: What is the main adventure? X There will eventually be a Director's Cut of ARMAGEDDON, featuring scenes of Steve Buscemi ad- libbing, and restoring footage with Lawrence Tierney (Reservoir Dogs, Red), who played Bruce Willis' father, but was cut from the final version. Release date unknown. Sorce- Zentertainment #230. HIGHLANDER 4: THE SEARCH FOR CONNOR is said to have Gregory Widen co-writing and directing the movie and is in pre-production now. The film stars both the TV and Movie lead characters: Connor Macloed (Christopher Lambert) and Duncan Macloed (Adrian Paul). Sorce- Zentertainment #230. COMIC BOOK NEWS Some information from WIZARD on Star Boy's upcoming appearence in STARMAN. All right, all I know is that Star Boy won't be travelling into the past, Jack will be travelling into the future. Star Boy and Umbra meet Jack in the Swansian (or something else named for you-know-who) System, and a previous Starman (the one from around Crisis) Mikaal tries to destroy Xanthu! Also, this issue will provide some more information about what Star Boy was doing in the 20th Century in KINGDOM COME. More will be revealed somewhere around STARMAN 60. From: “Invisible Kid” ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4.) Rumored Star Wars Episode One scrolling text. A long, LONG time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights have been guardians of peace and justice in the Galactic Republic of over a thousand worlds. Two of those worlds, Naboo and Nimoudia, stand on the brink of war over a technology that can save both dying races. The Republic is powerless to stop the crisis. Unbeknowest to all, the Nimoudians have very powerful, evil allies - who are willing to do whatever it takes to plunge the galaxy into chaos . . . -------------------------------------------------------- 5.)

AOL Legion Chat 7-9-98 Date: Thu, 09 Jul 1998 20:54:55 -0700 From: Alex Tam Subject: LSH: AOL Chat for 7/09/98: McCraw & Moy Tom McCraw (LSH/L* co-plotter/colorist) and Jeff Moy (L* penciller) were the guests on America Online's Legionnaires Chat for Thursday, July 9, 1998. Legion of Super-Heroes Chat takes place every Tuesday in the DC Comics Online area of AOL at 6:00 PM EST. Legionnaires Chat is held every Thursday in the same area at 10:00 PM EST. (Keyword: CHAT DC.) Regular guests include Tom McCraw, Jeff Moy, Jason Armstrong, Ron Boyd and Mike McAvennie. Thanks to T. Troy McNemar who originated the Legion Chat Reports; so much of the format of these writeups was derived from his hard work. DISCLAIMER: I can't guarantee the reliability of this report. Essentially, the Legion chats involve about twenty-five fans shouting repeated questions to the creators. The creators are sometimes unable to answer questions thoroughly or clarify their responses. As a result, misinterpretations may occur on my part. SPOILERS: Information that spoils current or upcoming issues is found toward the end of this report. There's no spoiler space to separate such info from the more general comments. SUBSCRIPTIONS: To subscribe to these chat reports, send an e-mail to “majordomo@mlists.com” with the message “subscribe lsh-chats”. To unsubscribe, send the message “unsubscribe lsh- chats” to the same address. PLUGS: To subscribe to Lev Kalman's humorous LSH pics, send an e-mail to “majordomo@mlists.com” with the message “subscribe lev-pics”. You'll get a new cartoon e-mailed to you about once every two weeks.

He doesn't know when his own comic would come out. Phil Moy's pencilling starts on pg. 13 of L* #64. The CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS reprint should be released around mid to late November this year, to include lots of Tom's recoloring and corrections (such as turning incorrect blue skies into the pink/red of the story). There will be a recolored poster of the famous CRISIS #7 cover, featuring Superman holding the dead body of Supergirl. Tom colors by computer, as well as traditional color guides by hand. Jeff didn't know if there were any plans for Timber Wolf. Tom noted that the most watched sport in the 30th Century isn't World Cup soccer, but magnoball. It's no coincidence that Espionage Squad members were prominently featured on most of the Dark Circle arc covers. Their role was important, so they got to be showcased. The discs on Brainy's head are connectors for computer equipment, and force field projectors. Laurel's new powers are electromagnetic. Lyle and reporter Condo Arlik are talking to each other in L* #65. Jeff thinks Condo is slightly older than the Legionnaires, at about 21-23. Thom will meet the 20th Century Starman, Jack Knight, in the Curtian star system. Tom coined the name in honor of legendary Legion artist Curt Swan; that's it for creator tributes for now. Tom said “we'll learn a LOT more about Lori in L* #69,” a shocking origin story. Jeff will need a lot of references to draw that issue. Tom doesn't know if Lori and Glorith were really the same character, and thought that making Lori the Time Trapper would be too easy. - -- Alex Tam goldie@intergate.bc.ca; Nachro2 on AOL Thanks for Reading.
