London or Australia Judy Ruiz wrote: > ------- as far as I know it was always set for Toronto filming, but I don't I had the impression that early press releases mentioned Vancouver, where Lions Gate Studios are located and where Adrian Paul's TV movie The Void was also filmed. I could be wrong, of course and since I can't find the article, I certainly may be. :) > think the London thing is set. According to Adrian in Columbus in July it > could be London or Australia or who knows where. Less likely that Australia is going to be a filming site if they are hoping for tax breaks. The Aussie gov't has just changed legislation disallowing tax breaks on bank loans taken out for residual financing. Moulin Rouge producers may not get the breaks they've been expecting. see the link for more info: http://www.smh.com.au/news/0106/24/entertainment/entertain6.html M.

Vrzoc" <A_Boleyn@excite.com> Subject: Tracker ... Vancouver Plans Managed to find the article in which Vancouver was mentioned as a possibility for site of filming Tracker. I read so much stuff I sometimes get confused but eventually the info comes floating to the surface. :) ---------------------- Playback Magazine June 25, 2001 Film & Television (stuff snipped) LGT brings Tracker to T.O. In a move to avoid the Teamsters, Lions Gate Television has chosen Toronto over Vancouver to shoot its latest outer-worldly series Tracker. Going to camera July 19, the 22-part, one-hour series starring Adrian Paul (Highlander), follows the adventures of an intergalactic bounty hunter and his earthly female sidekick. The duo track down hundreds of escaped convicts from outer space who have been transported to Chicago, where they traffic in every kind of criminal activity imaginable. Gil Grant (Relic Hunter) is the series' show-runner and executive producer. Broadcast rights to the series, budgeted at roughly $1.3 million an episode, are in the process of being sold to Citytv. Ira Bernstein, a former Rysher Entertainment exec, is distributing the series domestically through his company Mercury Entertainment, based out of New York. Since Lions Gate closed its doors in its fledgling New York office earlier this year, Bernstein is the company's sole New York contingent. LGT is producing and has international rights. M.

Yes..."Mel" is the Dr. Anne character and "Zin" is Horton ..or maybe Kalas.<eg> OK...maybe not. "Mel" is the female lead..the Earth woman who helps AP's character (I think he is called "Daggon" ) ...finds him, shelters him, helps him track bad guys, comes to lust after his magnificent alien enhanced body...you know the drill. There will, of course, be much UST ..they'll probably end the season with a kiss just before she is kidnapped by Zin in the cliffhanger ending<eg> Zin is the evil alien genius overlord master criminal mad scientist (if he was played by an Asian actor he could be a dead ringer for Emperor Ming from Flash Gordon) ....always one step ahead of Daggon...Moriarty to Daggon's Holmes. I'm looking forward to this (heaven help me) ..assuming a station in DC deigns to buy it. Wendy(If nothing else it's 22 more excuses to look at AP )(And at the very least it will be good for laughs.)(Hopefully it will be good for more than that.)

Like--how old is she? The couple pix I've seen LOOK very young, though they may not be all that recent. I just hope she isn't so young that AP could be her father--that's so unappealing in the USTy area. I was hoping they'd cast a 30ish actress as Mel, but AFP seems very early 20's, as far as I can tell. After the QoS fiasco, I was also hoping for an actress w/ some real professional experience & decent credits. Mel is not the lead here, but still. AFP's credits are rather lacking; they certainly don't scream out to me that she's perfect for this very contemporary role. Nina (Canada HAS no 30ish actresses w/ experience, willing to "relax" in the glow of AP's exciting energy???) geiger@maui.net ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2001 15:16:52 -0500 From: ??? ??y <cleopatra47@msn.com> Subject: Re: Playgirl Issue was Tracker Casting news Sandy, May I just buy it from you?

You'll get a page that makes you sign in and swear that you're an adult. Once you click the "authorize" button at the bottom, it'll take you to another page. Then type in this url *again* and it will take you to the item. eBay makes it extremely difficult to sell adult items. -- Sandy ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2001 21:33:25 EDT From: Dotiran@aol.com Subject: Re: Tracker casting news In a message dated 8/3/2001 7:41:02 PM US Eastern Standard Time, LISTSERV@lists.psu.edu writes: > I can't find much info on this actress.

I too had feared a teeny bopper approach to casting a female lead. Her acting reviews have been superb. [someone posted a review of her Little Men role on the Holyground forum last week] I have great hope. http://honeybee165.tripod.com/Amy_PriceFrancis.html ------------------------------ End of HIGHLA-L Digest - 2 Aug 2001 to 3 Aug 2001 (#2001-229) *************************************************************
