A few rays of sunshine
The Rifts® Movie
I cannot talk much on this front, but here is what I can tell you (excerpted from The Rifter® #47) . . .
- JB Films liked Rawson Marshall Thurber’s first draft screenplay.
- The Rifts® Movie Option has been renewed for one more year.
- There have been some rumblings and mumblings, but nothing official to announce.
- There is growing excitement at Palladium Books.
I think Jerry Bruckheimer Films has always wanted to make a Rifts® movie, but film-making is not a simple matter. It takes time – sometimes an excruciating amount of time. You need the right script and everything has to fall into place just right. There is a lot of money, a lot of people, and a lot of different things to consider and deal with.
Did the Palladium letter writing campaign help? It sure didn't hurt.
Certainly, all of us at Palladium Books would LOVE to see a Rifts® movie – and videogames, and MMOG, and toys, and comic books, and, well, everything you can imagine! Will any of that ever happen for Rifts®? I guess we all have to sit tight and wait and see. Ah, but the dream is still alive.
Nightbane® Survival Guide
– on schedule to ship next Thursday, July 9
I’ve already ranted and raved about this book. It’s wonderful. It’s packed with all kinds of exciting new information about the Nightbane, the Becoming, insanity, the Nightbane’s origins, 25 new Morphus Tables, new talents, many adventure hooks, a full adventure and more. You have to check it out.
The Rifter® #47
– on schedule to ship July 16
I went to the printer Wednesday afternoon, and approved another wonderful issue of The Rifter®. It looks great and is on schedule to ship July 16. Btw, subscribers to The Rifter® will also get a free copy of our new 2009 Catalog.
Fleets of the Three Galaxies
– On schedule to ship July 24
I've been ranting about this book too, and we are thinking of posting a sneak peak on the Palladium website for your enjoyment. It will also give you a clearer idea of all the amazing information in this book. We are putting the finishing touches on it this week, it goes to the printer next Tuesday, and remains on schedule for a July 24 release.
We have many more books coming
All of us at Palladium Books® believe in role-playing games and the future of the RPG business. As a result, we have one smoking hot, new book lined up after another. Check out last week's or tomorrow’s Friday Press Release for more information, release dates and descriptions. And that’s products for most of our game lines.
Keep the faith, game on and have a fun holiday weekend!
