$6Million Man’ Movie Still Alive The Battlestar: Galactica movie isn’t the only science fiction series from the ‘70s in development as a big screen feature. As has been rumored for ages, The Six Million Dollar Man movie is still going through a slow development at Universal Pictures. According to the New York Post, Richard Anderson, who played Oscar Goldman on the original series, will produce the eventual film. A Universal spokesperson is quoted as saying, “We have a script and we’re trying to decide what we’re going to do with it.” No word was given on whether or not the script mentioned is one of the oft-mentioned treatments by Kevin Smith (Dogma) or Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

Schreck goes to DC; Oni Press soldiers on

Last week, DC Comics announced that Oni Press co-publisher and founding member Bob Schreck had been hired by the company as a senior editor. It is with a mixture of sadness for its loss and optimism for the future of both camps that Oni Press confirms this news and announces its intention to continue publishing under a new structure. Joe Nozemack, Oni’s co-publisherand co-founder, will be taking on the full publishing duties, while editor Jamie S. Rich will become the editor in chief.

“In truth, none of us wants to see Bob leave Oni,” Nozemack said. “His personality and tastes were a large part of defining what Oni Press is. This opportunity was too good for him to pass up, though, and we probably would have been more upset with him had he not taken it. We wish him only the best, and we hope we can maintain the standard he was so instrumental in setting.”

“This will be a hard good-bye,” Rich added, “but ultimately, it will just mean that readers will get even more good comics than before. Throughout the years, Bob has had a hand in putting together some truly remarkable books, and I have no doubt he will do the same at DC. If nothing else, it ups the ante for Joe and I to make our books even better.”

“Despite rumors to the contrary,” Nozemack continued, “there will be no great shake-up at Oni Press. Bob won’t be taking any of our books with him, nor will he be controlling us from New York like some great puppet master. This is a friendly split, and Oni Press will continue to move forward as it has been for the last two years. With people like Kevin Smith, Scott Morse, Andi Watson, Greg Rucka, Matt Wagner, Jim Mahfood, Mike Mignola, Troy Nixey, Mike Allred, Chynna Clugston-Major, Paul Dini, and all the other wonderful creators we have and are working with, we have created a small, but diverse and quality-rich line of comics that is very recognizable as being Oni Press. This entity will continue and, hopefully, only growstronger in the years to come.”
