According to Buck Taylor, when I asked him about the goatee he was growing, he told me that it was for the prequel to Tombstone. Val Kilmer has written the script concerning Doc Holliday before the famous gunfight. Kilmer will of course star.
Another Batman alumni is in the buzz about a Lone Ranger re-do. During a panel discussion at the Festival of the West this year, one of the stars told me that George Clooney is rumored to be set to play the Lone Ranger, while Johnny Depp will play Tonto! Anyway, that's the buzz!

19TH ANNUAL NATIONAL FESTIVAL OF THE WEST
It was quite a year at the festival. Bruce Dern - a great guy and a terrific interview - was there. Hugh O' Brian held court and performed some magic tricks. Robert Fuller, Denny Miller, Buck Taylor, and Ben Cooper were terrific as usual - they are always anxious to answer their fans' questions and have a bit of fun. Clint Walker was mobbed by his fans, as usual, and only made one of my panels, but he is always terrific.
Also, Ed Faulkner was a joy as always, as was Stella Stevens, Beverly Washburn, Cheryl Rogers-Barnett, Peter Brown, Ty Hardin, Michael Dante, Wyatt McCrea - keeping the family name alive - classic bad guy, Tom Reese, Mike Moroff, and Rex Allen, Jr.
I met the great screen and television writer, Paul Savage - one of my new best friends. Child actor, Richard Eyer was there as well but I didn't meet him. Many memories of my childhood come from films like: "The Invisible Boy," and "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad," that Eyer appeared in.
On to next year!

Western Films to Watch
I want to share Western films that I find are worth watching. Anyone want to join in, please do.
My favorite Western of all time is "Rio Bravo." It just seems to have all the right elements. Without going into much of it's background, I have probably seen it more then any other Western. Of those that are a little more 'current,' I'd have to include; "Silverado," "Tombstone," "Open Range," and the remake of "3:10 to Yuma." Ah heck, "Appaloosa" should be on the list as well; plus Ed Harris' television version of "Riders of the Purple Sage," was very good.
Anybody out there want to share their favorites?
