C Wayne Owens' Movie & TV News is a daily newsletter featuring news gathered from all over the net with the newest and hottest movie and tv scoops. It is heavily weighted towards SF and Fantasy film, but if it's news (and not just Celeb gossip) it will be here, and be here weeks before the TV News shows even touch on it.

Miller: "I've got a lot."

Frank Miller told SCI FI Wire: "Look at my bookshelves, I've got a lot." He has many tales he'd like to see filmed, among them "Hard Boiled," human-like robots. He said: "I'd like to do Hard Boiled. I think it would be extraordinarily visual. It's one of the blackest comedies that could possibly ever be done. And I would like to someday tell the story of [Give Me Liberty's] Martha Washington, but that would mean a lot of hours. I'd have to find the right actress and the right format to do it in." He is also planning to write and direct "The Spirit," based on the comic strip and comic-book hero created in 1940 by the legendary Will Eisner.  He added: "The Spirit seems to be happening. I'm typing away."

Christopher Eccleston - - - the original Dr. Who from the current Sci Fi/BBC series - - -  is joining the cast in January in a really super (tee-hee) role. Speaking of cool casting, wait until you see who's ******* ****'s ****. You're going to flip" and: "There's an emotional episode coming up in February in which Dr. Crabby Pants bonds with a rape victim and confides something shocking about his troubled relationship with his dad. So now it can be said: It's Dad's fault House is the way he is. Glad that mystery's been clear."

Moore's Elstree Appeal Roger Moore has made a plea in hopes that a buyer to come forward to save the 80-year-old Elstree Film Studios. The studio, where Alfred Hitchcock directed, and where both the Indiana Jones and Star Wars films were produced, were purchased by Hertsmere Borough Council in 1996 because no other buyer showed up. Moore said: "Hertsmere Council extended it a lifeline when it needed it most, and invested heavily. Now that they are seeking to pass on the ownership, I hope that an equally passionate and caring owner can be found; and help take the studio into one of the most exciting periods of film and new media production."
