    Hey, I never knew that! That's cool. It would also explain why I found the priest in Apollo 13 so familiar (it was Rance Howard).

    He was also the minister who married Steve (Will Smith) and Jasmine (Vivica Fox) in [i]Independence Day[/i].

    I havent watched Independence Day in years, but I spotted the minister/Rance Howard in Apollo 13 straight away :D

    Ron Howard is also the brother of [URL=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0397212/]Balok[/URL]

    Thats great news! Look forward to that. I have always liked Ron Howard as a director but felt The Da Vinci Code was very flawed. Hopefully he'll bounce back with this one. Won't be the first time he's done a kidnap style film before with Ransom coming to mind, which was good.

    Well stone me I had no idea his brother was the kid from Gentle Ben!! :D

    Its cool to see their dad still acting away. Wonder if he'll nab himself a part in this new one ;)

    Yep, and he shows up in Opie's movies once in a while, such as Apollo 13 and Grinch.

    Just read in the scriptbook email that jms DID sell a script to Ron Howard and Universal. He is also planning to announce a little something this weekend as well.

    However the declaration of principles is being sold here: [url]http://www.declarationofprinciples.com/homepage.htm[/url]

    You know, I just remembered something. At the end of that episode, G'Kar comes in with a revised version that both he and Sheridan agree is "better," and forces the councillors to sign it again. So that's not the real Declaration of Principles. No one knows what the final Declaration actually says.

    I just think that's kind of funny.

    No, its a chapter of the dec about, I dunno, something. this is just the prolouge.
