Clement was born in Somerville, Massachusetts on May 30, 1922 and grew up in the Boston area. He received a BS in astronomy from Harvard, a M.Ed. from Boston University and a MS in chemistry from Simmons College. He was a high school school teacher whose fiction gained a reputation as quintessential hard SF -- science fiction firmly based on established physics, chemistry, and astronomy. His novels often depicted highly imagined alien worlds; the most famous was Mission of Gravity, set on a heavy, fast-spinning planet where the force of gravity is several times greater at the poles than at the equator. His last novel, Noise, was published earlier this year. 

Clement was named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America in 1999. Among other honors, Clement was a Retro-Hugo Award in 1996 for his 1945 story Uncommon Sense.

In related news, Variety reports that the Bond spin-off Jinx has been axed by MGM. The spin-off would have starred Halle Berry as her Die Another Day character, the CIA agent Jinx. Stephen Frears was in talks to direct from a screenplay by Bond vets Neal Purvis and Rob Wade. MGM reportedly wants to just focus on the next James Bond movie instead. That picture begins filming in January 2005 for a holiday '05 release. No director has been hired yet.

Stories in the October issue include:
Captain Brass vs the Space Vampires
I Shot Down King Kong
Hell Flight

THE GRAND CHAM by Harold Lamb
THE GRAND CHAM, originally published in ADVENTURE magazine in 1922 but never before in book form, is a grand story of revenge that begins in the camp of the Turkish lord, Bayezid, but quickly moves on to Venice, the deck of a galley, an overland caravan, and the tent of Tamerlane the Great, amongst many other places. When hero Micheal Bearn is crippled by Bayezid, he vows vengeance and escapes captivity, surviving when his companions fall, which serves only to strengthen his resolve. Barefoot, injured, and broke in the land of his enemies shortly after the story opens, he lives to see his fortunes turn, and, most importantly, his vow fulfilled. This is the first paperback publication of THE GRAND CHAM, which also features a new introduction by Lamb scholar Howard Jones.
Paperback: 140 pages, 9.16 x 6.00, ISBN: 1592240232, $14.95

The director adds that Zeta-Jones, who has won an Oscar as Best Supporting Actress since appearing in 1998's Mask of Zorro, will have "a great role" this time. "Her character will definitely be on a par with Antonio's this time." Zorro 2, claims Campbell, "is much more than your typical sequel. It's a full-out new film that uses the same two central characters."

The Necronomicon.  Cthulhu.  A town called Arkham populated by bizarre and insane monstrosities.  These icons of horror were envisioned by one man: Howard Philips Lovecraft.  But were these visions of horror only in his mind, or could he see into a world that couldn't be seen?

From his bizarre childhood, when his mother would dress him as a girl, to his adult days, when he would meet Harry Houdini, Lovecraft was haunted by grotesque visions.  He dedicated his life to writing blood-boiling "fictional" tales, all in an attempt to appease his living nightmares.  But that obsession would take its toll.  His parents both sent to asylums and his loving wife driven away, Lovecraft would spend most of his life as a recluse, his only company being his demons and the occasional visit to his publisher.  Some called him insane.  Some called him a genius.  Either way, the story of America's greatest horror writer is a tale as haunting as the demons that plagued him. 

LOVECRAFT is written by Hans Rodionoff; adapted by Keith Giffen; art and cover by Enrique Breccia. 
144 pages, $24.95, in stores on February 4, 2004. 

LOVECRAFT can be pre-ordered from the November PREVIEWS (available October 29th).

According to Variety, plans may be afoot to do back-to-back sequels shot in one simultaneous production. 
Sources close to the film say the producers are pondering the possibility of back-to-back sequels, and talks have begun to secure the cast should Disney pursue that avenue. Returning for at least one sequel are producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Gore Verbinski, writers Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott (who haven't completed the script), and talent Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley.  Orlando Bloom has reportedly signed for two sequels according to EOnline!.

The Planet Explorer: This was originally published as four independent tales: "Sand Doom" (ASTOUNDING, December 1955), "Exploration Team" (ASTOUNDING, March 1956), "Critical Difference"—later retitled "Solar Constant"  (ASTOUNDING, July 1956), "The Swamp Was Upside Down" (ASTOUNDING, September 1956). Leinster rewrote the four stories to give them all the same protagonist and reissued the stories under the title Colonial Survey, published by Gnome Press in 1956. The book was reissued in 1957 by Avon Press under the title The Planet Explorer. 

Anthropological Note was first published in THE MAGAZINE OF FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION, April 1957. 
Scrimshaw was first published in ASTOUNDING, September 1955. 
Assignment on Pasik was first published in THRILLING WONDER STORIES, February 1949. The author was listed as "William Fitzgerald," one of Leinster's pseudonyms.

The Lightning Witch or The Metal Monster by A. Merritt
A small band of explorers – including the famed Dr. Goodwin, Ruth Ventnor, her brother Martin, and the scientific adventurer Alvin Drake – finds itself face to face with a sentient, collective intelligence composed of billions of living geometric metallic forms! Spawn of an alien race that moves among the stars, seeding their kind on likely planets, the metal being intends to replace all biological lifeforms on Earth. Between it and humanity, between it and the group of adventurers that have inadvertently stumbled into its lair, stands only Norhala, the lightning witch, a mysterious, unearthly woman of incredible beauty and power, who seems at once the metal intelligence's handmaiden, keeper, and secret enemy. Cover by Virgil Finlay.

Star Wars creator George Lucas originally told journalists that his plan was to create three trilogies of films: the original one that included the first Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, a prequel trilogy and a sequel trilogy that would pick up the story after the events in Jedi, consisting of Episode VII through IX. Subsequently, Lucas said he never intended to do the sequel trilogy.

But now, the source told Dark Horizons, "apparently there is some talk, even to the point of [Steven] Spielberg" who was interested in doing [Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones] at one point "stepping in for Lucas, who may want to write, but probably won't want to direct." The source added that it's possible Lucas could strike a deal with writer/director Frank Darabont, who is writing the script for the proposed fourth Indiana Jones movie, to write the sequel scripts.

Here is how DC describes this issue:
The pieces fall into place as the heroes draw near the Grand Canyon. The Scarab and the Liberator must battle Dr. X's powers of illusion while Tom Strange and company make their way up from the South Pole. But what is the source of the null force sweeping the United States?

The 32-page issue has a cover price of $2.95.

THE OAKDALE AFFAIR by Edgar Rice Burroughs
"The house on the hill showed lights only upon the first floor -- in the spacious reception hall, the dining room, and those more or less mysterious purlieus thereof from which emanate disagreeable odors and agreeable foods.

From behind a low bush across the wide lawn a pair of eyes transferred to an alert brain these simple perceptions from which the brain deduced with Sherlockian accuracy and Raffleian purpose that the family of the president of The First National Bank of -- Oh, let's call it Oakdale -- was at dinner, that the servants were below stairs and the second floor deserted.

The owner of the eyes had but recently descended from the quarters of the chauffeur above the garage which he had entered as a thief in the night and quitted appareled in a perfectly good suit of clothes belonging to the gentlemanly chauffeur and a soft, checked cap which was now pulled well down over a pair of large brown eyes in which a rather strained expression ight have suggested to an alienist a certain neophytism which even the stern set of well shaped lips could not effectually belie."

CAPTAIN BLOOD by Rafael Sabatini

The Arnold Fans claims that Milius believes "the wrestler 'Triple H' might be a better and grittier fit." They also like his acting and believe he is the perfect age to show the transition from a younger Conan (flashbacks) and could also play the gray-bearded Conan. Milius and Triple H are getting along great already. The two are working on a new kick-ass action movie called Journey of the Deadman.

The Arnold Fans add that Milius is anxious to get the project going again and to continue the Conan mythology of kings, wizards and women of the finest stalk. He wants to film in Turkey and Ron Cobb and Basil Poledouris are anxious also to return.

Thanks to Dark Horizons for the information.

Also new is the Alternate Jacket for A FIGHTING MAN OF MARS, using the Laurence Herndon cover from THE BLUE BOOK MAGAZINE of May, 1930. This is the jacket that was proposed by Metropolitan for the book, but which was nixed by Burroughs because he didn't like Herndon's art. So he wound up with Hugh Hutton's ungainly wraparound instead. This jacket features illustrations on the back from foreign language editions of Tarzan novels, just like the original was planned.

The major announcement, however, is the pre-publication offer for the limited, letterpress edition of the jacket for TARZAN OF THE APES. This is the first truly authentic reproduction of this important and rare dust jacket. Printed on a Heidelberg Windmill platen press in three colors on a heavy, uncoated stock that matches the original, the jacket is offered in two versions: a regular edition of 500 copies for the pre-publication price of $50.00, and a special, signature edition of 90 copies stamped with ERB's personal signature stamp at ERB. Inc. for $100.00

THE RETURN OF DR. FU MANCHU by Sax Rohmer
Further adventures of Rohmer's insidious and perilous menace!

340 pages, Trade paperback, ISBN: 1-58715-218-5,  $14.95

The series features classic and little-known comic book stories from throughout Moore's career, some hard-to-find tales that have appeared only in comic books outside the U.S., and some surviving stories from the tragically-lost Lovecraftian Moore epic Yuggoth Cultures, which will be seen here in comic book form for the first time. The YUGGOTH CULTURES AND OTHER GROWTHS series will include such gems as the now-completed first part of Moore and Bryan Talbot's important lost classic NIGHTJAR, a story started 20 years ago which was supposed to appear in UK comic book WARRIOR, the legendary anthology where other Moore classics such as MIRACLEMAN and V FOR VENDETTA appeared.

As for the Lovecraftian fragments from the series, those stories are also emerging from a tragically-lost project of a different kind. "Yuggoth Cultures was originally intended as a series of texts that would have been inspired by HP Lovecraft's poem cycle FUNGI FROM YUGGOTH," recalls Alan Moore. "Unfortunately, when the texts were about half completed, I left the only copy of three or four of them in a London taxi cab. Since it was impossible to reconstruct, the work went on hold, remaining incomplete. Originally, THE COURTYARD was part of the proposed Yuggoth Cultures package, but there were some other interesting little fragments left over, and I suppose that what's gathered in this series is a collection of those and other interesting fragments. Things from projects that were, for one reason or another, never completed, which perhaps which hold some interest in their own right. I'm looking forward to seeing what is done with them."

Although several of the stories in this new series were scripted by Moore for comic books, the stories originally written for the Yuggoth Cultures series of texts are being adapted by frequent Moore collaborator Antony Johnston (ALAN MOORE'S THE COURTYARD, ALAN MOORE'S ANOTHER SUBURBAN ROMANCE) in consultation with Moore. "Once again I've risked my health and sanity, channeling the Northampton Bard through my weak plebiscite mind for the sake of entertainment. With each adaptation my grip on reality grows weaker, yet my stubble grows longer; a curious paradox, I hope you'll agree. Stop me if you've heard this one before, but working with Alan on these stories has been an absolute pleasure. The pieces I've handled are some of the strangest, most evocative things I've read, forcing me to think in strange and unnatural ways to get the best results possible. I'm really happy with it."

Dick Dumont has informed me that he was able to determine that Bifrost Books is Harold Peters, 221 Lynn Rd, Brownsville, Pa. 15417-9707, Phone: (724) 785-7670.  However, Peters failed to respond to any of Dick's inquiries and Dick has notified the Brownsville Police Dept, US Postal Inspector, and Pennsylvania Bureau of Consumer Protection about the problem.  The Pennsylvania Bureau of Consumer Protection opened a case on September 3rd (C-005678-2003) with Senior Agent Dorcas Turner assigned to it.  Anyone who has been ripped off by Bifrost Press can contact Dick Dumont and he will forward their information to Agent Turner.  You can also contact Agent Turner directly yourself.  Dick Dumont can be reached at RDumont792@aol.com .

The new series is from director John Woo and writer Doug Petrie along with Synthesis Entertainment. Regency and 20th Century Fox are producing. The pilot will return the show to its roots as a family drama, which is what Allen intended when he penned the original pilot, the trade paper reported.  The project will be set about 100 years in the future and will feature a relatable, contemporary family at its core. Petrie and Woo have reportedly come up with a great contemporary take on this property that makes it accessible and a great coming-of-age story.  The new LOST IN SPACE won't feature a Dr. Smith character, though there will be a robot.

The WB has committed only to a pilot production at this point. We'll likely have to wait till May to see if the project, set in 2097, goes forward as a series. Woo will likely direct the pilot episode.

Here is what Adventure House says about the book:
This collection is the result of combing through hundreds of issues of writing journals from the pulp era, mostly WRITER'S DIGEST and AUTHOR & JOURNALIST, but also a variety of lesser-known magazines: THE WRITER, THE EDITOR, WRITER'S REVIEW, and two magazines issued by correspondence schools, WRITERS' MARKETS AND METHODS and WRITER'S MONTHLY. One of the surprises of the project was in discovering how many magazines were devoted to the craft of writing at that time. This speaks, in some measure, to the opportunities presented by the pulps to the freelance writer. With hundreds of pulp magazines publishing thousands of stories, there may never have been a better time for making money selling fiction.

Many of the pulp-related articles in these journals deal with storytelling technique, usually genre-specific, e.g. "Action in Westerns," "Live Your Love Story," or "Why Aren't Your Detective Stories Selling?" Others assess the markets and advise on slanting for specific titles. But another category of article presents behind-the-scenes looks into the pulp world, the rise and fall of the business, the experiences of writers, editors, and publishers. And it is the most interesting and informative of this latter group that PULP FICTIONEERS attempts to gathers together.

Liu has enlisted X2: X-Men United screenwriters Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris to help her reinvent Chan for the 21st century. "I'm sure it's going to be a commercial film," Liu added. "I don't think it's going to be something that's an alternative version of Charlie Chan. I'd like to bring a dark edge to it, if that's possible, but we have to see. I just want people to enjoy and appreciate it."   The film's in early stages of development at Twentieth Century Fox.

Charlie Chan was created by Earl Derr Biggers. Chan was a detective who always found himself solving murder cases in exotic places despite the bumbling efforts of a son (or two) who would interfere while trying to help.
