Basil Is Back on the Computer

For those of you that were unhappy with the fact that I had abandoned my Basil Rathbone stage play, fear not. It's back on...for the moment.
This past week, I came across an interesting piece of information about the screen's most famous Sherlock Holmes that gave me an intriguing idea on how to instill a dramatic thrust into my play. In any event, I'm back writing on it, and we shall see how it progresses.
This past week, we also finished work on the audio version of ORSON WELLES, and it is now in the hands of the people at ACX who will be doing a technical check before making it available for sale. That process takes between 2-3 weeks.
I'm very proud of this one, and if you are an Orson Welles fan, I think you will want to download it when it is released. Actor Ed French, who performs the role, becomes Welles in the recording. More on this later.
For my Los Angeles area friends, I will be appearing at the Son of Monsterpalooza horror convention at the Burbank Marriott Hotel and Convention Center (across the street from the Burbank Airport) on October 26-28, so if you're in the area, please stop by and say "Hello".
That's one of the advantages of having written and directed movies for Roger Corman. When you get old, you get to be a celebrity guest at horror conventions.
Finally, there's a review of THE ICE HOUSE starring Daniel Craig newly posted on the Best Bets on DVD website, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page. It's a first-rate mystery, so take a look.
You have a creative week.
Michael
