Another new reporter has filed the following news from Greg Wiseman on the possibility of a live action Gargoyles movie from Disney. Could be real cool if handled correctly, here's her report...
I went to The Gathering, a convention for the cartoon Gargoyles. Greg Wiesman, the creator of the show was there and had some hopeful news, (hopeful as in a glimmer, not anything assured), about the live action movie. He said there has been yet another change of the powers that be at Disney and these are more interested in the movie than the ones that basically killed the tv show. They made it a higher priority on their list of movies in development [higher than what I was afraid to ask]. Also, they have frozen the script writing process for now lest it get any further from the original series.
I'll spare you the long rant about what I think about whoever wants to make a Gargoyles movie with only Goliath, and not let Greg Wisemen or Michael Reeves write the script, (Micheal Reeves was one of the main writers and both of them have honorary titles with the movie). Actually the rant is on the general idea of execs noticing that people are moved enough with any particular person's artistic vision to warrant a movie, but not to let that person have any meaningful imput making of the movie. I blame them for all the movies that should have been great but turned out just plain awful.
Greg Weismen said the effects for the movie are planed to be a combination of costume, make-up and CGI. He also said the name of the guy doing the first two with some excitement, but I forgot who it was.
Also, due to the new friendlier climate he was going to bring back to Disney's attention some of the spin-off cartoon series that were in the works as part of Disney's plan to make their own action/adventure universe but got canceled along with the show. [ie. Bad Guys, New Olympians, etc.]
Not that I need an alias, but call me Agnes Nutter if you find this postworthy.
