JMS recently posted an update on his movie "The Flickering Light":

>I just got back from two weeks of meetings in Berlin recently. Things

>I might be directing my first major film there. (Also wrote the script

At least I'm assuming it's "The Flickering Light" since IMDb shows a Berlin
location for that one and JMS is listed as directing and exec. producing.

And on a fun note:

>One other piece of fun: I did a cameo on the new Thor movie. It was

When pressed for more info, he posted:

>I can't comment on the role or anything specific to the story or
characters >out
>of deference to the production. All I can say is that it was something >drawn
>from my tenure writing the Thor comic...so basically I've finally >disappeared
>into my own narrative. Knew that would happen one of these days.

And for those of us wanting to 'friend' him:

>Two quickies: first, for those who've added me as a friend -- including folks I

>there and I've been so swamped with work and a serious chronic lung infection
>that's been making my life hell since last July (I finally this week got rid

>they're stacking up ever higher.

and continues:

>Continuing from below...I don't know when I'll have a chance to get to the
