Farscape Alumni in Upcoming Projects

David Kemper (executive producer, Farscape), Richard Manning (producer and writer, Farsape) and Andrew Prowse (director, Farscape) are working together on an upcoming movie, "Heatstroke".  IMDB lists this project as "post production", and there's no word yet on any release dates. 

Richard Manning (AKA FrooniumRicky) is also credited as writer on another project, "Tyrannosaurus Azteca", which is also listed by IMDB as in "post-production".  

The GS Cognoscente can gleam no clue about where or when these two projects will be released and distributed, but considers The SciFi Channel a possible candidate, probably for their "monster of the week" Saturday night movie.  Both productions are under the aegis of Rigel Entertainment, a name that makes any 'Scaper pause and think.

Claudia Drops Out of "Life"

Word has reached the FS Cognoscente that Claudia Black (Aeryn Sun, Farscape) has dropped out of "Life", due to her pregnancy.  Her (miniscule) role in the pilot has been re-cast.  Advance word on the series is not good, so The Cognoscente hopes that this is a blessing in disguise, leaving our Raven Haired Goddess available for future, and better projects.  Congratulations to Claudia , and we all hope that she'll have a safe and happy delivery.

Henson Website Gets Makeover

It's been a slow three weeks and the only thing that the FS Cognoscente has been able to glean is the The Jim Henson Company has a re-designed website.  Very nice.  The Cognoscente liked the old site, too, but the update looks perfect for them.  Best of all, it's nice to see they've posted the news about Farscape prominently on their site.
