Pictures of "Roswell" the
TV series have popped up in EON MAGAZINE.. The one below is the main picture of
the very human like Alien cast. (DH)
Info has also turned up on CSO about the character played by William
Sadler (Disturbing Behavior, Demon Knight).. In the same interview by Eon,
Producer David Nutter said the following.
"I mean, the place that [Sadler’s character is] coming from…
his entire belief system is going to be, I think, turned on its head slowly
as he collects the pieces of the puzzle. My guess is that finally we'll
see some sort of sea changes in his attitude. He's very single-minded and
determined to get to the bottom of this mystery at the beginning, because
of his father's being chastised for believing in aliens and so on. And all
of a sudden, it's happening to him."
Series producer David Nutter adds, "Our goal is not to make William
Sadler the ‘black hat.’ Our goal is to give him another dimension
and a sense of purpose and a sense that he needs to find the truth as well
as these kids need to find the truth about their paths. And I think that
journey can be an exciting one and I think a compelling, fulfilling one
for him as well." |

Jason Katims, the series creator of "Roswell"
has said the following unstable remarks about the show. "I’m
totally winging it. I have no idea [where the mythology will go]. It’s
day by day, you know."
Then, Katims adds, "We’ve plotted out the first season of
the show. We have ideas of where it’s going and where it’s going
beyond that. So we have thought a lot about the mythology and all that stuff.
To me, one of the exciting things about the premise of this show is that
the three alien characters in the show don’t know about their history
which makes it exciting from a writing point of view because as they discover
their back story, the audience is discovering it." Seems that the
show is being played by EAR. (CSO) |

| Co-exec producer DAVID NUTTER speaks out about "Roswell",
"First, what’s most important is to start with both feet on
the ground. You’ve got to start somewhere believable. There are things
in the pilot that have a wonderful believability about them, that stood
out in that way. Those are things we really strive for. Another thing we
have to strive for is not what we are going to do, but what are we not going
to do. What are the traps we’re going to avoid? This is a show were
we’re right on that thin razor line, where if we went too far in some
directions, you’d lose an audience. We didn’t play to the lowest
common denominator. We’re going with what’s fun, but what’s
smart.". Well it sounds like to me this is a cover up for a show
that could be silly. (CSO) |

| Colin Hanks, 19 yo son of Tom Hanks will take a regular role in the
upcoming "Roswell" Tv series. William
Sadler will take the adult role of the sheriff of Roswell. The series is
based on the book by Melinda Metz. The series will start with a waitress
(Shiri Appleby) is shot and an alie being in human form (Jason Behr- who
happens to be a student at the school) comes in and heals her. The authorities
turn up at the town to investigate this miracle, and find the alien. That
is the series in a nut shell.. (CSO) |

| Fox television has dropped the "Roswell
High" TV series.. But the concept has been picked up in the
US by the WB network and will be going under the title "Roswell"..
As talked about in March the "Roswell"
High series is about a high school near the famous alleged UFO crash site.
The series surrounds the life of students some of whom are ET's. The series
will air after the teen show "Dawson's Creek" so I guess that'll
be the targeted audience. |
