No expense was spared in ABC’s answer to STAR WARS, especially when it came to the music budget of its three-hour pilot. And if John Williams made a go of cosmic myth making with the London Symphony Orchestra, then Stu Phillips would get the full disposal of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. “TV” music rarely had this kind of impact, and Phillips’ symphonic power was certainly rousing as it blasted through then-small television speakers, and the vinyl of the re-recorded 40 minutes that Phillips culled from this “Saga of the Star World” for an MCA LP. Now those legions who […]Read On »

Linda Hamilton is an actress that needs no introduction. The woman who helped define strong female archetype roles for women in cinema is most famous for her portrayal of Sarah Connor in THE TERMINATOR and TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY. Hamilton is a beautiful, intelligent and strong woman, but most who would expect her to be like her “tough-as-nails” screen heroine are in for a surprise. The actress is actually a free spirit, and a self-proclaimed Hippie with a quick smile and fantastic sense of humor. ASSIGNMENT X was lucky enough to get the chance to talk to Hamilton this week […]Read On »

While it’s looking really good that NBC’s perennial bubble show CHUCK may be renewed for a 13 episode Season 5 (that’s what the Hollywood rumor mill is speculating today), meanwhile, ASSIGNMENT X spoke with Zachary Levi before an official announcement had been determined and asked about how the finale will wrap up, cancellation or not. “For our finale, we will still tell our finale no matter what,” he admits. “We usually go with the story we want to tell and we tell that story. We don’t want to leave anyone out on a limb, we don’t want to hurt our […]Read On »
