One aside...the release of the first DVD of "The Gathering" and "In the
Beginning" has been put back a month, at my request. There was apparently some
misunderstanding about which version of The Gathering to put out, and they were
going to do the original version rather than the re-edit (which would go for
the European market). They had already invested about $100,000 in copying
costs when I found out about this, and I asked if they could please reconsider
and do the re-edit instead. They finally agreed, which is commendable in the
extreme. It'll add one month to the release schedule, but I'd rather have the
best version out there and wait the addtional 30 days.

I have to really thank WB for taking the time and spending the money to put out
the right version.
