Things We Saw Today: The Doctor Who/Firefly Crossover Of Our Fanfic Dreams Things We Saw Today by Kellie Foxx-Gonzalez | 5:06 pm, July 16th, 2012 Redditor DrMarf put it best: “There is so much strong jaw line in that pic. The only way I could feel less manly is if John Barrowman had photo-bombed this pic.” Christopher Nolan delayed Dark Knight Rises so that Marion Cotillard, Batman’s love interest, could give birth to her first child and film her scenes. (via The Seattle Times.) General Motors consulted three moms on the design of their 2013 Chevy Malibu, hoping that the women would use their lived experience as mothers to improve the design of the car. Considering women are involved in about 80% of family car buying decisions, this seems like a smart move. When Adrianne Curry isn’t busy winning the first season of America’s Top Model and being a reality TV star, she spends her time cosplaying and happens to be a total nerd! Here’s a slideshow of all of her amazing costumes from Comic-Con!
Love that Raptor Jesus! Have you seen our Comic-Con slideshow yet? Blizzard, the folks behind World of Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo, recently raised $330,000 to support St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospitals by auctioning off old server blades that used to host WoW. It’s great to see the gaming community give back to those in need! Celeste Holm, best known for her role in the original 1943 production of Roger and Hammertein’s Oklahoma!, has passed away at 95. That promotional zombie-proof Hyundai we featured last month actually came into existence at Comic-Con this year. I imagine it would prove quite handy during the zombie apocalypse! Bryan Fuller, producer of Pushing Daises, hinted that “there is another Pushing Daisies project that is not a comic and that is not a miniseries” in the works. The curiosity is killing us! “Iron Man” No. 55, a comic book from February 1973 featuring the first appearance of Thanos, went from being valued at $60 to $6,000 after the villain’s appearance in the Avengers movie.
Apparently that’s “next year’s price.” Are you following The Mary Sue on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, & Google +? Sony Planning a Jump Street-Men in Black Crossover Internal communications from Sony Pictures reveal the studio's ambitious plan to do a crossover of their Jump Street and Men in Black franchises. The leaked emails between execs and talent, including Jump Street stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, reveal that all involved are eager to make it happen. The crossover would also essentially "reinvigorate" the MiB franchise after the lukewarm response to Men in Black 3. The Wall Street Journal reports that Jump Street makers Chris Miller and Phil Lord are producing the crossover movie and may also direct it. Sony wants the film fast-tracked for a 2016 or 2017 release. (UPDATE: The movie will likely not involve Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.) Via WSJ: "In an e-mail to (studio boss Amy Pascal), Mr. Hill says 'jump street merging with mib i think that’s clean and rad and powerful.'
In another e-mail, Hannah Minghella, a president of production for Sony’s Columbia Pictures label, says of the joint sequel, 'We don’t have a script yet so we’ll be greenlighting the movie off the concept and the talent involved.'” The powers that be are also seeking the participation of MiB exec producer Steven Spielberg on the crossover/merging of the two franchises.It should be relocated at Jean Airey because The consensus on the talk page from six years ago seems to be that this doesn't deserve a page of its own; any relevant info should be located on the author's page.Talk about it here or check the revision history for additional comments. The Doctor and the EnterpriseNovember 1989 (second edition) Paperback, 129 pages (second edition) none (first edition)ISBN 1-55698-218-6 (second edition) is an unauthorised novella by which was a three-way crossover between , and . Airey wrote this book as a crossover because, at the time (the late 70s), there were no Doctor Who fanzines and her other love was "Star Trek" (The original version).
The very first version was printed in the ST zine "R&R XII." The illo of the Doctor (Tom Baker) was done by an artist who had never seen the show and looked like a bescarfed Bob Hope. As DW fandom evolved in the early 80s, Airey revised and published the story with illustrations from some young artists who had watched the show. It was not intended as a "parody." The planet visited is, indeed, intended as a salute to Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover series — something that many media fans did not realise. As mentioned below, this version is available for free. Please read it and not the other! Any version that has The Wizard Of Oz in it is an unauthorised version. Three universes in imaginative collision — with delightfully funny results. An underground classic, this tongue-in-cheek parody is an affectionate tribute by a fan of both Star Trek and Doctor Who who is also a professional writer. This cult favourite has already won thousands of fans in small editions. It is newly illustrated for the current edition.
The Doctor and the Enterprise was originally a fanzine published in 1982. The first edition featured a visit to a thinly-veiled Darkover. Airey has made the first edition of the book available for free over the Internet, and it has been archived on a number of websites (see below). American publisher Pioneer Books (which specialised in unofficial reference books based upon various franchises including Doctor Who and Star Trek) issued a trade paperback edition. This version of the book was edited to, in theory, remove all references to copyrighted characters and races. Captain Kirk became simply "the Captain", while Spock became "the Scientist". The Doctor, however, retained his name; Leonard McCoy was referred to as "the Physician". This editing was not perfect, and a reader will notice occasional accidental references to Kirk, etc. slip through. This version was illustrated by Mahlon Fawcett and Tom Holtkamp, and the artwork rather unambiguously features the USS Enterprise, the TARDIS, and a likeness of the Fourth Doctor based upon that of Tom Baker.
