I'd watch a sequel series, Sam Sokolow. That and the prequel miniseries are great ways to keep the franchise going.

The Continental left a bit to be desired, but if Keanu's involved in a sequel series, well that's gonna be hard to not click play on

Thats awesome for the original screenwriter! He stays home and collects more paychecks! Win win!

A teamster whom I spoke with is hoping that the deal is not too high on raises to give reason to send more productions out of town or out of the country. So hopefully not but got a reasonable agreement for everyone.

Richard "RB" Botto

Delicate balance, Xochi Blymyer. No question.

I am a newbie and have absolutely no idea what this would entail, how much it would cost, where I would start, etc. Any information you can provide from your experience would be greatly appreciated. Also, please let me know how you could help in its production. Thanks.
