Without Warning

Without WarningIn the best tradition of Orson Welles’ infamous War Of The Worlds radio broadcast, CBS airs a made-for-TV movie, Without Warning, depicting a slow-building attack on Earth as a series of newscasts. Starring real-life news personalities Sander Vanocur, Bree Walker and Warren Olney, mixed in with obvious actors such as John de Lancie, Gina Hecht and Jane Kaczmarek, Without Warning tricks many viewers – despite extensive on-screen notification that they are not viewing a real news event – into thinking that a real national emergency is underway. Welles would’ve been proud.

Writing Episode I

Episode IAfter dropping his kids off at school, Star Wars creator George Lucas sits down with a box of pencils and a blank legal pad, and begins writing, in longhand, the script of what will become Star Wars Episode I (though at this point, the script draft is titled Star Wars: The Beginning). Having already amassed continuity notes on the original trilogy as well as story notes dating back to the early 1970s from the early “Journal of the Whills” drafts of the Star Wars storyline, Lucas knows only that the story will involve the early days of Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker.

Star Trek: Generations

Star TrekParamount debuts Star Trek: Generations in theaters, the first movie to primarily feature the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation, though original Trek actors William Shatner, James Doohan and Walter Koenig reprise their roles. This movie has the most in common with the recently-ended series, with David Carson (director several well-regarded TV episodes, including the two-hour Deep Space Nine pilot) and composer Dennis McCarthy continuing in their respective roles here, though fan reactions are mixed over the death of a major character.
