And one possible spoiler at the end...beware.

Interesting stuff over at the Digital Bits website: By now everyone knows original series Star Trek will be out on DVD soon, but apparently David Gerrold is saying they are also going to release the animated series on DVD as well, with commentary by the writers and the cast. I understand there is commentary by Gerrold and other writers such as Larry Niven on the Land of the Lost DVD set–very tempting; Lost had absolutely hideous SFX as a Saturday morning kids’ show, but the scripts were quite literate.

(And while we’re dragging one old Filmation series out of mothballs, how about Fantastic Voyage, too, guys?)

Also rumors of a director’s cut of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, with all those edited scenes returned to the narrative as they were on ABC’s commercial-drenched network premiere a month or so back...not to mention other deleted scenes.

Caution, spoiler:

By the way, speaking of rumors, James apparently read one that said Gary Oldman is in the third Star Wars film (Digital Bits says the rumored title is Revenge of the Sith) and gets to kill Jar-Jar Binks. I suspect this is one bad-guy effort that’s going to get a big cheer from much of its audience, since Jar-Jar is so universally hated.
