C6:  What is TSR really working on in the way of TV shows and movies?

A:

There are three known projects in various stages of production. Whether of not
all three ever see the light is another thing altogether, although two of them
are almost sure bets at this point for relatively near-future releases.

MCA/Universal, TSR, and Ground Zero Productions are currently working on a live
action (live action combined with animation and computer-generated images, that
is) TV show basically set in the Spelljammer campaign setting and entitled
"Wildspace."  They are currently shooting 22 one hour episodes for the first
season, to be aired during prime time on network TV.  They are currently aiming
for a premiere sometime in 1996, but more exact information, including which
network it will appear on is not known.

>The release of the show will be closely followed by a Wildspace game
>(whether role-playing or board is not known), and a series of books.
>[Emphasis is mine]

They are also developing a related theme park attraction at Universal Studios,
most likely in the form of an interactive attraction as part of the Universal
Studio Tours attraction, and are looking into the possibilities of
merchandizing
electronic games and action figures.  TSR has not said whether or not the
popularity of this show will cause the return of Spelljammer products to their
production schedule.

Any comments? I, personally is interested in two things:

1) What happened with all this show

and

2) What's that "Wildspace" game?
