The Full Story On Kevin’s “Exposure”…

July 6th @ 2:40 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Naganootch

  • Thanks to the many of you (too numerous to even list in the scoopage area) to let us know that Kevin confirmed his involvement with the “Exposure” project on George Lucas over at Sci-Fi. In fact, Kevin’s recording his segments at the Stash next week. He will indeed host the entire special, which sounds like a great one. We’re expecting some press contact and perhaps even an advanced look at the show here at NA, but we’ve gotten an inside contact who’s been kind enough to supply us with ALL the details on this must-see program:
Exposure is a weekly show on SciFi that airs every Wednesday night at 10pm. It shows short films and interviews with the filmmakers who made them. Some of the shorts they’ve shown are Tim Burton’s “Vincent” and “Frankenweenie” and Clive Barker’s “Salome” and “The Forbidden.”

They are producing a special George Lucas/Star Wars show where they will air “George Lucas in Love,” “Tripping the Rift,” and Lucas’ “THX-1138 EB” and “Freinheit.”

The special, unlike other episodes, will have a host which will be Kevin. They’re shooting his segments sometime next week at the comic book store. (I believe its the first thing filmed in the new store.) Supposedly, the show will air sometime in August.

If you want to see films and interviews from past shows, go to http://exposure.scifi.com

Watch Exposure, every Wednesday night at 10pm EST on SciFi.

There ya have it folks, the exclusive scoop! More on the way as the project develops.

  • Here’s some perty cool news…Jay Mewes has signed to appear at Wizard World in Chicago, where Kevin is also scheduled to show! We’ve got no details on which days the two will be there, if any panels are setup, or where they’ll sign (if they’ll even sign together, which is likely but not definite). Keep an eye here for more info on Wizard World as we can dig it up.

More Ways To Catch “Fletch” In Print…

  • A couple more sources have checked in with good leads on places to get “Fletch Won” novels. We’ll let them speak for themselves:
The best online source for “Fletch Won” or ANY used book is probably http://www.bookfinder.com. It indexes hundreds of book stores (both new and old, INCLUDING Amazon) around the world. A search for “Fletch Won” returned 142 listings ranging in price from $1.65 (Mass Market Paperback) to $45.00 (1st Edition Hardcover).

And as a librarian, I would also point out that many libraries offer Interlibrary Loan programs if they don’t carry the title you’re looking for. I don’t know how this works everywhere else, but at our library, you only have to pay the return postage costs (usually $1.53 to $1.94, depending on the weight of the book).

You can ALSO find a great selection, naturally, at http://www.usedbooks.com. Happy hunting…

  • Kevin’s a hot item of discussion over at the Hollywood Stock Exchange online game now, due to the upcoming Fletch and View Askew 5 projects. Here’s a story (in RealAudio format) that discusses their recommendations for the stock, though we hear it tells folks to actually SELL their stock in some of the stuff. Hmmm.
  • The writer of transmetropolitan (Warren Ellis) makes a very small crack/criticism at Kevin right towards the bottom of his essay, found HERE.

  • Finally today, we’re not sure what View Askew 5 is gonna be called, but we like the simplicy of this fan-made teaser poster concept, for sure. Enjoy.
