WB ORDERS FILMING OF NEW DS PILOT

[Gothick]

MB, I just love the new collage of snaps from the pilot!

Matt Czuchry was so sexy and adorable.  I've heard he's very friendly and appreciative of gay fans, too, which means a lot.

I'm glad you like it. 

And speaking of Matt, when I saw that capture of him smiling, I immediately knew that it had to be a part of the March background.

Now I'm off to create the April background. And BTW, the pilot's slideshow follows the order of the scenes in the script, so in many cases these new backgrounds won't be following the order in which the scenes appear in the version of the pilot on YouTube. For example, in the YouTube version David pranking Vicki has already happened before Vicki meets Carolyn, which is featured in March's background - but David pranking Vicki won't appear until the May background...

That's sad to hear.  At least they did share the tape of this one episode which so many wanted to see.  I have never had any contact with them beyond seeing them in a skit at a Festival years ago.

That's true. I hadn't really thought of it that way. I suppose it's a healthier outlook. I'll try to focus on the positive.

God, I'm more tired than I thought. That made no sense. It should read, "For those who fear the disappearnce of the pilot on YouTube, here's a way to download and save it.

No worries - I think everyone knew what you meant.

MB, I had noticed (since I have been following this thread with great interest) that you were following the sequence of the pilot as we saw it in 2005 rather than this new edit.  I do wonder whether the new edit has been prepared for an official disc release. 

I look forward very much to the April display for the 2004 pilot!

It looks as if the 2004 slideshow (with dialogue, etc.) is back--has it been running all this time?  I'm pretty gobsmacked this a.m. by various things so maybe it has and I just wasn't paying attention.

Also I just had a weird experience, trying to find the thread for the 2004 show but unable to do so--I just looked at one thread that seemed to have 1991 dialogue but the images were from NoDS.  I wonder if it's something to do with my own computer?

And we may get snow today, in honor no doubt of tomorrow's occasion of April Fools...

Best!  G.

This is the pilot's topic:

And Even Yet Another New Slideshow

And yes, the slideshow has been running atop this board all this time. But because there are very few actual captures/stills used in it because so little was available back in '14, I can easily see where someone may not realize it...

If the YouTube video isn't taken down, I'd love to go back and add real captures to the pilot's slideshow. But we'll see...

If the YouTube video isn't taken down

I could be wrong with what I'm about to say, and I realize that it could seem to be only about a day and a half since the video was reported, BUT even given that time frame, to me it seems like the fact that the video is still up could be a good sign that it could remain so. And the reason I say that is because in the past WB has acted swiftly if not instantaneously to have their stuff taken down from YouTube and other places. Presumably you know who received the report of its upload in a timely fashion in whatever manner it was delivered (e-mail, phone call, whatever), so chances are if you know who would have reported it to WB, they would have contacted YouTube by now and the upload would be no more (I've know of instances where their stuff has been removed in less than 12 hours of being uploaded) - but it's still there. And along with all the questions already surrounding the origin of the video, that fact begs several more questions...

But I suppose we will see...

It might take a Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot to get to the bottom of this.

[Uncle Roger]

It's been taken down.

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Interesting. I wonder what took so long? The longer it stayed up, the more I was sure it would stay up. But I suppose that was a foolish hope...

But at least, even if it wasn't the version many fans had seen at the Fests, more people got to see it than might have otherwise...

[Mysterious Benefactor]

"Copyright claim by MPI Media Group"?! Now that's fascinating and rather unexpected - and it changes everything!! It would certainly seem to lend credence to the possibility that the pilot really will be coming out as part of the new MPI DVD. It would also seem to imply that you know who is the one who edited it...

[Uncle Roger]

Once questionable material is removed from YouTube, does that put an end to it? I wonder if MPI, DCP or Warner Brothers might pursue further action.
