Dear JMS

Thx very much for The Lost Tales. As others have said it was like
meeting lost thought friends. I hope there will be many more to come,
watch and enjoy *g*. Just a short question - the taxi scene in the New
York of the future... was that an insinuation at Luc Besson's Fifth
Element?

Second question: Have you ever thought of writing a script for a movie
about relationships (like Woody Allen's Annie Hall, Alexander Payne's
Sideways or Charlie Kaufman's Adaption) ?. This question came to my
mind while watching the features on the TLT DVD where you said that
you enjoy watching and analysing human behaviour.

Last question: What do you think about Joss Whedon and especially of
his best (IMO) two shows Angel and Firefly (which had the same destiny
like your Crusade) ?. If circumstances let it happen would you like
working on a project with him?

Thank you for talking the time to read my post and good luck in the
future,
 
Richard

No.  It comes from visiting New York many times.

"Changeling," the movie I sold to Ron Howard, is a strong relationship
movie, in the sense it's all character driven.  (Production starts mid-
October.)

I think Joss is a terrific writer and I'd love to work with him
sometime on something.
