- Methos Chronicles on the Net.
There has been word of a Methos Chronicles cartoon on the
web that will feature Peter Wingfield's voice. The site can
be found at http://www.themethoschronicles.net/html/htmlhome.html.
The actual cartoon itself will supposedly be at http://www.methoschronicles.com/
and http://www.methoschronicles.net/ -- although there's nothing
there now.
Word is Josh Davis, son of Peter Davis, registered the name
and is the project head. The "officialness" of the site has
been confirmed by a Davis-Panzer representative and also Gillian
Horvath on the alt.tv.highlander forum. PWFC has posted that
Peter did indeed record the voice for the cartoon. PWFC's
online announcement of the cartoon can be found at http://www.pwfc.org/news.shtml.

- Save Queen of Swords.
I have some bad news. I heard within the last hour or so
that Fireworks has decided not to renew Queen of Swords for
a second season. This won't be announced officially until
next week, but the actors and crew were apparently being told
today.
We are not convinced that this is a lost cause, however -
as I understand it, the ratings fell short of what Fireworks
wanted by just one tenth of a point. We need to inundate Fireworks
with letters to convince them to change their decision. Shows
have been brought back from the dead in the past, we can do
it now.
But we need to write NOW. Write a letter from your home and
from your job. Get your brother, your mother, your cousin,
to write. Fireworks is in Canada, so the stamp will be 60c
from the US, but if you want the show to have any chance of
returning, it needs to be done. If you truly can't afford
it, then e-mail them. Or better yet, do both. And do it now.

Even if we don't succeed, the actors will hear about your
support of them and the show.
Please forward this message wherever you think it may do
some good. Thanks.

- Highlander to Hit Broadway.
The #72 issue of SFX (Christmas 2000) has an article with
Bill Panzer:
HIGHLANDER TO HIT BROADWAY Exclusive! Even after Highlander
IV was panned, a musical headchopping fantasy is planned
The limp critical response to the fourth and apparently final
Highlander feature film, Highlander: Endgame, was thought
by many to have sounded the death knell for the sword-swinging
franchise; but executive producer Bill Panzer has revealed
plans for three new Highlander projects to re-energize the
series mythos for a new audience...
