NEWS FROM SORCON!!!

I missed this announcement because I was at the CosPlay event in the Spencer Room. I went as Lord John Marbury.

I can never get enough Sorkin. I have all the Sports Nights, all the West Wings, I've got the script books, I've got the flicks (including Malice), Studio 60...I saw the Farnsworth Invention...I've got the play Making Movies, I eagerly await his Chicago 7 flick and now...now...oooh. Happy levels reaching critical!

SAN DIEGO—On day two of the 2008 San Diego SorCon, the biggest Aaron Sorkin convention in the world, screenwriter and producer Aaron Sorkin revealed plans for his next project, an animated continuation of his most popular franchise, The West Wing.

"I'm excited to bring my Emmy Award–winning writing to the field of animation," Sorkin said in a speech before approximately 30,000 screaming fans, many of whom were dressed up in the business-suit costumes of their favorite Sorkin characters. "The costs of live-action production restricted me to a set only slightly larger than the actual White House and an ensemble cast of under 15 actors. But animation technology will enable us to provide fans with extended 40-minute walk-and-talks, digitally compressed dialogue for faster delivery, and a cast of over 70 main characters. My vision will finally be presented in its truest, most uncompromised form." (more)
