WonderCon 08: J. Michael Straczynski and Starship Troopers: Marauder
Long-time attendee J. Michael Straczynski was on hand to discuss how busy he has been the past year. He wrote a few screenplays currently in various stages of production, including one directed by Clint Eastwood (The Changeling) and the other being World War Z, in addition to his constant comic book writing.

A Brief Look At The Wire Season 5

While much of the show includes Baltimore-specific items like slang and what=not, many of the ideas aren’t Baltimore=specific and are associated with other large metropolitan areas. The show revolves around Baltimore’s drug problem and how it affects everyone (from the cops to the politicians to the citizens and even to the drug dealers and corner boys themselves).
