From the October issue of Locus: Mission: Impossible is being redone! Several of the old scripts have been re- filmed, with Peter Graves still playing the part of Jim Phelps and the son of one of the original cast members as part of the new IMF. The first show will be this Sunday, October 23, on channel 6, but I don't know what time (this is all because of the writers' strike, by the way). Frank Miller is reported to be writing the sequel to _Robocop_. Harlan Ellison is now an on-camera spokesperson for Chevrolet's Geo imports from Japan. upcoming films: _Mutant on the Bounty_, directed by Robert Torrance. _Piranha Women and the Avocado Jungle of Death_, from Guacamole Films, Inc. _Erik the Viking_, from Orion, starring John Cleese, Bob Hoskins, Sean Connery, Alec Guinness, and Susan Sarandon. new book: _The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul_ by Douglas Adams: a sequel to _Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency_. _Locus_ is now a 13-time Hugo winner.
