Well, this is a hoot. According to the following link, William Shatner is going to undertake the sort of role that has heretofore been left to everyone from Vampira to Elvira: He’s going to introduce a series of horror flicks, in this case for the Sci-Fi Channel. Apparently they’re all from the low-budget vaults of Charlie Band’s Full Moon Productions. The reason it’s pertinent to this particular board is that at least one of them is going to be by yours truly: “Oblivion,” the science fiction western spoof that represents one of the few films Band actually spent some serious money on. I hear tell “Trancers” will also be represented, and if the fourth and fifth entries in the series are there, then those will be mine as well. Although the only “horror” in the Trancers films I wrote was the budget slashing that caused them not to film the majority of the action scenes, and wildly scale down those that were filmed.
Supposedly Shatner will be interviewing people in conjunction with the films. I can’t wait to see who he talks to for “Oblivion.” It’d be a hoot if it were George Takei, wouldn’t it?
