Article from the February 15, 3135 Lambrecht Daily Gossip: Dominion Over All
Set To Start Rolling
By Simon Vandenberg, Holovid Correspondent
The holovid based on Signus Wainright’s mega-hit e-book Dominion Over All:
The Rise of the New Ghost Bear Threat has started filming today on Kervil in
Prefecture II. Signus Wainright himself will be penning the novelization of
Dominion Over All, and with his dynamic writing style and flair you can bet that
the script will be spectacular. While Wainright claims that his e-book is a work
of non-fiction based on iron-hard data, but says that the movie will depart
somewhat from the specific facts that he knows, adding dialogue and
personalities but still staying true to the facts.
Wainright’s books have caused quite a scandal on some worlds, with some
pundits claiming that Dominion Over All and Wainright’s other works are nothing
more than paranoid alarmism. Other scholars, after careful examination of the
facts available to them, have come to much the same conclusion that Wainright
has. Professor of Political Science Elias Tamrin of the Lambrecht Academy had
this to say: “…Wainright certainly was on to something with his previous
works…” The theories advanced in Wainright’s previous e-books, Dragon’s
Blade: The Kurita Threat and Prefect Tormark and Sword in the Stone: Lord
Governor Sandoval’s Links to House Davion have both been borne out by the
formation of the splinter groups the Dragon’s Fury and the Swordsworn. Neither
Governor Kyle or Legate Bekkar would comment on the threat of an attack on
Prefecture I by the Rasalhague Dominion.
Signus Wainright isn’t the only big name attached to the production of Dominion
Over All, however, as famous director Alphonse Knightly is lined up to direct,
and rumor has it that mega-star Lana Spinner has signed on to play the femme
fatale Jaine Tseng. The last time Lana Spinner was involved in an Alphonse
Knightly production, was of course Fire in the Heavens, with Lana taking her
award-winning turn as the infamous Black Widow herself, Natasha Kerensky.
With Knightly and Spinner teaming up once more, signs point to Dominion Over
All becoming a big hit.
Dominion Over All won’t be without competition, however. Several other
holovids are either in post-production or currently filming, and more than a few
of them focus on threats to The Republic of the Sphere. I spoke to Filip Otomo,
instructor of film at the Lambrecht Academy about this somewhat worrying
trend in subject matter. Instructor Otomo noted that public entertainment has
always played to the fears of the populace, “showing people what they are most
afraid of and then showing that they can defeat it is a sure-fire way to make
money.” Otomo also mentioned that if the current crop of movies would most
likely follow this formula and end with The Republic of the Sphere triumphing
over its enemies.
Signus Wainright, however, wasn’t quick to confirm Instructor Otomo’s guess,
however, “While I made up details for this film, it isn’t a work of fiction… I don’
t decide how it’s going to end, I write what’s real.” Not exactly reassuring for
anyone who has read Wainright’s e-book. I asked the author if he thought his
previous works might also be made into holovids, but he just flashed that grin
that has become so famous on the news dailies and said, “I’d like to get this
movie finished before I start worrying about my next one.” Here’s hoping that
Dominion Over All is a hit, and Wainright can follow up his success with further
adaptations of Dragon’s
