DreamWorks Buys J. Michael Straczynski Harry Houdini and Arthur Conan Doyle Script Voices From the Dead
DreamWorks has acquired an original script by J. Michael Straczynski, titled Voices from the Dead.

Sherlock Holmes Review
Schlock Holmes is too brutal. Call it instead The Adventure of the Da Vinci Code Knock-off or The Adventure of the Missing Ending. Either would be equally appropriate.
