Writing is So Not My Day Job

So... lots of news this morning. 'Rex' is dead, 'Retreat' is missing, and it looks like a little project announced back in December 'Decoy Bride' is alive and kicking per an announcement at the Cannes Film Festival - filming reportedly starts in June.

Also - IDW's first DW Annual is now available for preorder from the shops - it's scheduled for release on July 28th in the US. ( Details and cover behind the cut! )

The latest slate of Eleven books (for July release) has been announced:

Adorable Illusion, by Gary Russell
The King's Dragon, by Una McCormack, and
Nuclear Time, by Oli Smith.

There's no covers yet, for these or for the April slate (and no, I'm not bitter at all about the sudden slew of books when there were NO TEN BOOKS AT ALL in December).

And - DT has written the forward message for the insert in the DVD specials boxset - I won't repost, as I've already seen in three different places on my friends list, but if you haven't seen? Go find.

Also, we're just a few minutes away from the NBC executive session at the TCA winter press tour - I'm hoping there will be an announcement in regards to Rex, but even if there's not, it should be interesting.

EDIT: Per various twitter sources, NBC execs will be watching a cut of the Rex pilot tomorrow evening, and a decision as to whether or not to fastrack the show as a Leno replacement vs a fall airing of the pilot will be made at that point.

Per DT on Twitter, Rex will be filming today at the Hilton Checkers Hotel at 535 S Grand Ave, Los Angeles today between 6am and 7pm. They're supposedly attempting the pool scene again, now that the weather there is much improved. *hopes someone gets pics*

They are filming a pool scene today for Rex. Please someone get pics. *begs*

They're at the Hilton Checkers Hotel, 535 S. Grand Ave in LA.

The shoot schedule is currently listed from Dec 4th - Dec 19th, so it looks as though DT will miss the premieres of Hamlet and St. Trinian's 2. :( Ah well.

EDIT: No pool today - still raining.

For those in the LA area, DT is reportedly filming Rex today, from 4am to 8pm (Pacific Time) in the Bank of America Center, 333 S. Hope St.
