Although I haven't heard back from the gentleman lately, but he said he was very busy working. There is supposed to be an official Web site coming up but they hadn't picked a domain name yet. Beastmaster.Com, he said, is apparently a porno site. I think if this series is successful it may serve to introduce new fans to Norton's books, provided those of us who know the connections keep alive the knowledge of the origins of the characters and encourage new fans to seek out the original works. I've seen many people on the news groups say they discovered some of the great authors after seeing bastardized adaptations of their books in the theater or on television.
