Revelation Not Tied in with Crypt Franchise
Comics2Film reports the upcoming Dimension Films release Revelation will not be tied to the Tales From The Crypt franchise. C2F spoke with a source at Silver Pictures and according to the tipster, Revelation was developed in the same way the previous Crypt movies were. The same parties were involved and the movie is very much in the vein of movies like Demon Knight and Bordello of Blood (the first two Crypt films). However Revelation will not bear the Tales From The Crypt name, include the Crypt Keeper character or otherwise be identified as a Crypt movie.

Warner Bros. Giving the Kids a Break
Warner Bros. has decided to stop sending warning letters to Harry Potter fans who set up fan Web sites, Singapore's Straits Times reported today (Tuesday). In January, the studio received much criticism when it was revealed that its lawyers had threatened legal action against Christi Chan, a 15-year-old Singaporean, who had registered the Internet domain name www.harrypotternetwork.net. Similar letters had been sent to other young Potter fans, so enraging them that by last week many had banded together on the Web site www.potterwar.org.uk to urge an international boycott of the movie and all merchandise associated with it.

Buffy WB Deadline Fast Approaching
Variety reports the WB's exclusive renegotiation period for the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer expires Thursday, and insiders are not optimistic about a deal getting done this week.

The network is offering to pay producer 20th Century Fox Television $1.6 million per episode to keep Buffy. That's a big increase over the roughly $1 million per episode the WB now shells out, but nowhere close to what the studio is seeking. Fox wants the WB to pay the full per-episode cost of production for Buffy, plus a premium -- a sum insiders peg at somewhere between $2.3 million and $2.5 million.

If no deal is reached by Thursday, 20th Century Fox will be able to shop Buffy to the highest bidder; the WB has a right to match the first offer Fox comes back with.

Most insiders expect Fox would simply sell Buffy to sister network Fox Broadcasting, keeping a valuable asset in the family. However, there are indications both ABC and UPN would be interested in doing a deal for Buffy -- though a deal in the mid-$2 million range would be rich for the latter network.

Time to Run Dreamcatcher Excerpt Online
Variety reports Stephen King has taken to the Web again. Time Magazine will feature an advance 6,000-word excerpt of King's new novel, Dreamcatcher, a few weeks ahead of its publishing date.

The book is scheduled to be published by Scribner's, a unit of Viacom Inc.'s Simon & Schuster, March 20.

Annabeth Gish Talks About New X-Files Role
While talking to TV Guide Online (via Cinescape), Annabeth Gish explains that the initial meeting between her character and Dana Scully has bumps, saying, "There is tension in the beginning because I am sort of the new girl on the block, but my character makes it very clear that I'm of no threat. I'm not coming in to try and take over [Scully's] division."

Regarding her character's past with John Doggett, Gish says, "There is the suggestion of a romance, but mainly we [once] worked on a case together involving the loss of his son, so bringing me in helps to illuminate his past as well."

Rumors abound that should the series go on to a ninth season, Gish will become a regular part of the cast. On this point, the actress says, "It's all up in the air. Hopefully [it] will happen. I'm just having such a wonderful time, and it's a family I'd love to continue to work with."

Fraser Talks Mummy 2
While talking to Cinescape Online's Cin City columnist Cindy Pearlman, Fraser was asked if the coming sequel is as good as the first film or just an attempt to milk bucks out of the fans. Fraser answered, "I will go out on a limb here and say it's mo' better. The party line in Hollywood, when you do a sequel, is to try and remake the first one. But we didn't do that. We took what was so successful in the first one, and we upped the ante."

Japanese TV Postpones Godzilla Airing
According to Reuters, a Japanese TV station on Tuesday postponed airing a Godzilla movie on fears that scenes of the monster attacking fishing boats could remind people of a U.S. submarine's recent collision with a Japanese trawler off Hawaii.

Nippon Television Network Corp (NTV) had planned to broadcast the popular 1998 Hollywood movie on March 2, a company spokeswoman said on Tuesday. But NTV postponed the airing indefinitely out of sensitivity to victims of the Feb. 9 tragedy, in which the USS Greeneville nuclear submarine surfaced and sank a Japanese fishing trawler, leaving nine people presumed drowned.

In the opening of the film, the monster Godzilla emerges from the ocean to attack and sink Japanese fishing boats in rough seas.
