Üks järgmisel hooajal tulev sari, millel võiks silma peal hoida, on Masters of SciFi. Tegu on antoloogia sarjaga (a'la The Twilight Zone), filmimisega loodetakse alustada märtsis (eeldatav pikkus on 13 osa). Eeskujuks on tänavu jooksnud Masters of Horror sari, kus oma ala meistrid lühilugudega oma oskusi näitasid. Mina igatahes ootan seda päris suure huviga, loodetavasti mingeid takistusi ei teki. Suurte eelduste kohaselt on sarja eestvedajaks B5'st tuttav JMS ning olen lugenud, et ka Harlan Ellison ning Ray Bradbury võivad kaasa lüüa.

Praeguse plaani kohaselt on lugude hulgas Ray Bradbury "Dark They Were, And Golden-Eyed", Harlan Ellison'i "'Repent, Harlequin!' Said The Ticktockman", Stanislav Lem'i "The Hunt", H.G. Wells'i "The Crystal Egg". Läbirääkimised käivad Isaac Asimov'i "The Last Question" ja Robert Heinlein'i "Jerry Was A Man" kaasamiseks. Selline parimate lühilugude esitlus tundub päris huvitav. Lisaks pole viimaselajal antoloogia sarju välja tulnud.

Sarja hakkab tootma sama firma, kes tänavu tõi välja Masters of Horror'i ( http://www.mastersofhorror.net/ ) sarja. Pole horror'i fänn, kuid vaatasin esimese osa ära ning oli päris hea. Kvaliteet oli küllalt kõrge, sisu ok ja näitlejad head. Horror'i fännidele igatahes pilkuheitmist väärt.

See tõotab küll väga huvitav asi tulla. The Outer Limits, mis on üks mu lemmikulmesarju, peaks vist ka enam-vähem selle kontseptsiooni alla minema.
Kvaliteet tundub igatahes taga olevat; tänud teavitamast.

Ohoo, seda peab küll ootama. Tänud info eest.

Väikene täpsustus JMS B5 newsgroupi postist (muideks ta vastas ja viitas minu postitusele):


A few things here and in the link need to be clarified.

I've also been up to my ears in work, of which some points follow, and
that has taken me a great deal off the beacon of late.

First, to the matter at hand...and just to get one error out of the
way...Robert Sheckle's "Watchbird" was adapted by me alone; Mike
Cassutt is adapting Varley's "Persistence of Vision." The press
release conflated the two. (I didn't know about the release until Mike
called me, chagrined, but I told him not to sweat it, errors happen.
This is now in the process of being corrected.)

The anthology is a by-invitation deal, it's just me, Mike, Harlan
Ellison, Michael Tolkin, Ray Bradbury and a couple of others who, for
whatever bizarre reason, sombody decided would constitute the scripts
half of the Masters equation (the other half being the original short
story).

Last summer, I was called into a meeting with the MoSF folks and
offered the show runner position. It would be a short order show,
maybe 6-13 episodes, to shoot in the fall. This happened at roughly
the same time that I placed a development deal for my own series with
Touchstone, which would not go to the next level until the next May.
So the timing could not have been better. I would be able to go in,
tackle this, and be done with shooting by the time development moved
ahead on the Touchstone series.

But it took MoSF longer than expected to close the deal with ABC, and
now they're going to be starting production in May, which conflicts
with the Touchstone deal. Because there are contractual limitations
regarding what you can do or develop on show B while you're working on
show A, if I did the former, it would prohibit me from the work and
meetings necessary for the latter, especially since the former is in
Vancouver and the latter is in LA. So it came down to choosing between
a short-order gig running someone else's show, and my own series, and
though it was a painful decision, I have to go with the Touchstone
deal. Everybody understands the situation, and everybody's fine with
it.

So I got the "Watchbird" script in asap, and that will be one of the
first scripts into the production pipeline as soon as they can lock
down a director. I may or may not be able to be up there for filming
because the same time as they shoot *that,* we have to do
post-production and mixing on the 20 episode radio series I'm doing for
the CBC in Toronto, and that *has* to be finished at that time in order
to be available for broadcast in the late spring/summer and it's a huge
amount of work to get done, so I may have to opt to be in Toronto
rather than Vancouver (if this keeps up I may have to change
citizenship).

Then later in May the Touchstone deal kicks in, and that will take up a
huge block of time. I've also been approached by a major director (one
of the biggest in town) who wants to go in and pitch a project of mine
at the networks for a series, and if that that goes into development
I'm going to be up to my ass in alligators for some time...all of that
on top of the comics work, of course.

I also just finished writing a screenplay (historical drama, very
serious, based on a true story) that is getting some serious heat and
name people attached to it, so we'll see where that goes as well.

Kui nüüd Masters of Horror juurde tagasi tulla, siis 2 esimest osa on mul nähtud.
Esimene osa valmistas küll pettumuse. Ma ei tea, minu meelest oli see rohkem halenaljakas kui õudne. Eriti see koll - no niisuguse maskiga/näoga 'talupoegi' ja metsas jooksmist on enne niipalju nähtud, et see ei mõjunud enam kuidagi paeluvalt. Ainuke vastik koht(jah, pigem vastik kui õudne) oli see, kui too tegelane ühel naisel silmad läbi puuris.

Esimese kogemuse põhjal ei tasu ju siiski otsustada ja andsin sarjale teise võimaluse: järgmine osa oli oluliselt huvitavam ja paremini üles ehitatud, kuid ka seal jäi õudusetundust puudu.

Esialgu on see sari minu jaoks on hold, kuna on palju muudki vaadata.

Ma ka esimest osa näinud ja tõesti, see on Masters of Horror?

Natuke uut infot (ABC pressiteade):

[Enterprise]

Nõus, samuti tundub "The Discarded" neist kõige huvitavam. Ülejäänud ei jäta vähemalt selle info põhjal väga huvitavat muljet, kuid nii vähese järgi ei saa muidugi ka otsustada. Igatahes see "The General Zapped an Angel" tundub kõige kahtlasem - tundub, et tegu mingil üsna uuel jutukesel põhineva looga. Ja pealegi olen ma ühte sarnast Sci-Fi Channeli filmi juba näinud, nimelt Manticore - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417943/

Esimene osa Masters Of Science Fictionist istus vägagi. Sisuliselt oli tegemist tõesti The Outer Limitsi klooniga, aga hea ulme on hea ulme sellest hoolimata.
9/10

Samuti vaatasin ära Masters of Horrori esimese hooaja. Kes esimese kahe osa põhjal vaid otsustas, neil soovitan veel paar tükki siiski ära vaadata, sest mullegi need väga ei istunud, aga hiljem läks märksa paremaks.
Enda lemmikud: "Cigarette Burns", "Jenifer", "Dance Of The Dead" ja "The Fair Haired Child".

[V]

Kaks osa "Horrori" sarjast on olemas ka eestikeelses DVD-levis-http://www.videoline.ee/et/catalogue/d-657/ http://www.gutenberg.ee/kataloog.php?x=3&q=1&c=6904.

"Tulesõõrid" on siis vaatamist väärt, "Juhtum mägiteel" mitte?

Masters of Science Fiction - 1x01 - "A Clean Escape"

Nagu VV juba eespool mainis, on põhimõtteliselt tegu The Outer Limitsi (ja ka Twilight Zone'i) koopiaga, mis aga ei tähenda siiski midagi halba, sest sellised sarjad annavad võimaluse ekraniseerida palju erinevaid lugusid, mis tavaliste sarjade puhul keeruline, võimatu ja ehk ka sobimatu oleks.
Esimene osa ise mulle suuremat muljet ei jätnud. Eriti algus, mis oli lihtsalt igav, kuid hiljem, kui toimuva kohta ükshaaval järjest detaile paljastama hakati, muutus asi oluliselt paremaks. Kuigi tore oli ekraanil paari tuttavat nägu näha, tundus näitlemine siiski üsnagi puine ja sunnitud ning vähemalt minu jaoks puudus lool endal ka suurem mõte. Mõned väiksemad põnevad nopped muidugi olid, aga need jäid nagu kuidagi kõrvale ja tähelepanuta.


Masters of Science Fiction - 1x02 - "The Awakening"

Terry O'Quinn järjekordses ulmesarjas. Kuigi põnevuselt ja ka ülesehituselt oli see osa minu arvates esimesest kõvasti huvitavam, ei ole ma sugugi kindel, et mulle eriti meeldib see sõnum, mida selle osaga edasi anda üritati. Idee sellest, et kui kõik maailma inimesed saaksid üksteisest aru ja räägiksid üht keelt, siis ei tekiks enam probleeme ja kõik oleks häppi, on küll tore ja teoorias võiks ju isegi töötada, kuid tegelikkuses on minu arvates asjad ikkagi teistmoodi. Ma ei usu, et kõik inimesed on tegelikult ühesugused - pigem oleme me kõik erinevad ja see ei ole mitte sugugi negatiivne, vaid hoopis positiivne ja rohkem tuleks hoopis püüelda oma eripärade säilitamise poole. Mis muidugi üldse ei tähenda, et ma ei nõustuks sellega, et vägivalda ei peaks sellisel kujul olema... aga jah, tegelikkus on teistsugune.
