Current Talk '13 I / Re: NoDS
« on: April 28, 2013, 11:58:33 PM »
I've never subscribed to the notion that NoDS somehow wasn't DS because Frid chose not to participate. Though I suppose that's not a surprise because I've said on numerous occasion that I never felt, not even back in the day, that Frid and/or Barnabas were the end all and be all of DS. Sure, each made a great contribution to DS, but to say that either was completely necessary for something to be DS would be to totally invalidate the entire 9 months of DS that took place before Frid/Barnabas ever appeared - and those 9 months are certainly just as much DS as what came after is.
As for what a sequel with Frid/Barnabas might have been, none of us will ever know. Apparently a script was never written, and there are even conflicting stories as to whether or not an outline was ever prepared. But in either case, once Frid refused to do the second film, any initial work on the original idea was tossed out and no one, not even Sam Hall, remembers what the storyline might have been. Instead DC and Sam Hall decided to go with a ghost story (rather than a werewolf story). Though the one interesting thing that was chief regarding whatever the second film turned out to be is that DC was insistent that there be a large role for Kate Jackson.
