Australian Sahara News From:  Mark 

Breck Eisner's highly-anticipated directorial feature film debut Sahara is just around the corner.  Are you going to see it?  As a reminder, Breck directed the Pilot episode of The Invisible Man and he has expressed interest in directing an Invisible Man feature film.  Wouldn't that be the greatest?  This is one guy who deserves support from I-Man fans worldwide.  Success for Breck could be good for our cause. 

On a more personal note, you might be interested in knowing that Breck recently got engaged to be married.  His famous father revealed the news in a letter to the Directors of the Walt Disney Company.

Source:  IMDb.com

Paul Ben-Victor's film, formerly known as The Other Side, is now entitled Push.  Push is currently in post-production and is scheduled to be released in August 2005.

Do check out the trailer to catch a brief glimpse of Paul in a very colorful getup!

Synopsis:  Drugs, sex, and the allure of fast money blur the boundaries between two very different societies in P U S H (The Other Side, working title). A bartender in his twenties, Joe DeSimone (Chad Lindberg) is dissatisfied with his financial situation and relationship with his stripper girlfriend, Lisa (Charlotte Ayanna). While out clubbing with best friends Kevin Doyle (Pierce Forsythe), a rookie stockbroker and recovering drug addict, and Mickey Cohen (William DePaolo), a suburban rich kid, the trio witnesses a drug bust. The dealer drops a package of ecstasy pills on the dance floor before the cops get to him, however, and Mickey retrieves the package. Seeing this as an opportunity to make some fast cash, the friends decide to approach notorious neighborhood gangster Paul Diaz (Otto Sanchez), offering to distribute the drugs for him in their community. Diaz accepts and the three young men soon find themselves commanding a burgeoning criminal operation. Encouraged by their immediate success, Kevin’s greed surfaces and he increases the volume of their operation while relapsing into his past cocaine addiction.  But as payday approaches, the friends come to realize that visiting the other side comes at a high price.

04/02/05 - A Review of the Disappearance of The Invisible Man
From:  Sharon

Sharon, a fan from the U.K., shares with us an article she wrote about the show, the cast, and the cancellation.  She describes the article as "a combination of opinions, information, and even rumour."  Stating the reason she wrote the article, she says, "I guess I've always felt if anything I did got only one more person watching, it would be something."  A fine purpose indeed.  Thanks go to Sharon for writing and sharing her review with us.
