News

June 25, 2010 - I finally am back in control of this webpage! Some kind of problem developed in the page itself and it took hours of phone time with tech support. After trying in vain to find the problem, the site had to be taken down and re-uploaded. I'm still getting error messages, but it seems to be doing what I want for now. (Cross your fingers!)

My own life has been in upheaval lately because of my mother's slow decline in health over the last six months. She died two weeks ago and my life is beginning to return to normal, so hopefully I'll be able to spend more time updating the site and, even more hopefully, writing!

As to any news of Duncan, I haven't heard much in the way of what he's doing lately. The radio production is still a "wait and see" kind of thing, but the other Zorro news is the best!

Zorro Productions has finalized the deal for distributing a DVD release of the NW Zorro series. It is set for release sometime in the fall through A& E. The deal was only completed yesterday so all the details are not yet set.

January 20, 2010 - Daryl McCullough, the man who is behind the attempt to get us the new radio versions of Zorro (hopefully someday it will be "our" Zorro) has met with John Gertz of Zorro Productions and has been told "They are going to seek both TV and DVD distribution." He was told that they are open to "all ideas and suggestions should the fans want to chime in." The news is really sounded good. More to come!

January 19, 2010 - Zorro Productions announced via its Facebook page "Zorro is excited to spread the news - Zorro Productions (ZPI) announces that it has acquired the rights in the eighty-eight (88) half-hour live-action episodes of "Zorro" television series created by New World Television. Most recently, the series was controlled by Fox Home Entertainment for most markets in the world. ZPI's rights cover most of the world but not Spain, France, or Germany."

June 4, 2009 - There's a possibility of a new radio show based on (possibly!) the New World Zorro show. What they need at this point is for people to show their interest in such an endeavor. Jennifer (of the New World Zorro website) has put a poll on her blog for people to vote on this. Here's the link... http://zorrolegend. blogspot. com/ Please go and vote! This sounds like it will be really great, so we need to help send a message to the powers that be that it's a great idea.

December 7, 2008 - A five-DVD set for Fast Track has just been released! It's now available from Amazon for $22.49. I never thought I'd see the day! It was a fine series with only one major fault - not enough of the Chris Chandler character.

November 25, 2008 - I'm sorry to have to announce that Kate Swann-Averill, Duncan's art representative, died suddenly and unexpectedly yesterday. I know all of Duncan's fans would like to extend their thoughts and prayers to her family and his on this occasion of their loss.

Due to the unexpected demise of Kate Swan-Averill (Nov. 24, 2008), and the impact this loss has created on many levels, please direct all queries to: hunnysuckel@gmail.com

November 23, 2008 - Duncan's latest movie can be seen on the Lifetime Movie Network (LMN) on December 7th at 12PM (I'm pretty sure that will be EST)

It's called "Nightmare at the End of the Hall". I think the working title was "Room at the end of the Hall" but it should be the same movie he worked on around the beginning of the year. He plays the headmaster named Ian.

A modern ghost story, The Room at the End of the Hall is about an author who returns to her prep school to teach and meets a girl who seems strikingly similar to a friend who died at the school years ago. Courtney Snow, an author with writer's block, still haunted by the suicide of her best friend while they were in prep school, finds herself teaching at the very same school while trying to get back on her feet. She encounters a young student, Laurel, who seems in every way to be the reincarnation of her best friend from years ago. Laurel seems to know things about Courtney that only dead friend would have known. Is she losing her mind or is it all a cruel hoax?

November 10, 2008 - Congratulations are in order for Duncan! He was just awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Fine Arts by the University of Victoria of British Columbia, Canada.

April 29, 2008 - I finally got around to doing a few updates for the site. The good news is Duncan has finished filming both The Strange Case of DJ Cosmic and The Room at the End of the Hall. The bad news is that's about all I know about them at this time. I'll keep everyone posted.

There's also a nice review here about Duncan introducing "The Mark of Zorro" for the Victoria Symphony just this past Friday. It appeared in the Times Colonist for Canada.com

February 28, 2008 - There are rumors that Duncan will be involved in a new radio version of "Zorro". I'm sorry to say, they're just rumors. Some fans even did a write-in campaign to make it happen, but alas, they didn't think they could afford Duncan, so they never asked him. There's an interesting blog about the radio show here.

December 2007 - One of Duncan's paintings, "The Ruse," was used for the cover of the Winter/Spring 2007 issue of "Poemata," a publication of the Canadian Poetry Association. The cover can be seen here.

October 22, 2007 - There's even more news on the art front for Duncan. Here's the announcement for the upcoming Winchester Galleries Showing...

WINCHESTER GALLERIES
is pleased to announce a new exhibit by

DUNCAN REGEHR, RCA

"MAGIC"

Opening Reception:
Sunday, November 4, 2007 1 p.m. ~ 5 p.m.

Preview: Saturday, November 3, 2007 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
(art subject to prior sale)

In Duncan Regehr's current series of drawings and paintings, titled,
'Magic', he continues to explore aspects of transformation ~ a theme
he began working on in 2000 with the 'Corvus Rex' images, and
continued to develop through 2005 with the 'Chrysalid' works. Each of
these projects revolves around themes of gestation, birth and
metamorphosis. However, the 'Magic' series alludes not only to
transformation, but to illusion and the unknown as well. Over thirty
new drawings and paintings in the exhibition at Winchester Galleries
reveal subject matter drawn from myth, imagination, the psyche and
acts of prestidigitation.

October 13, 2007 - Finally there is more news! Duncan has just finished filming an independent movie short called "The Strange Case of DJ Cosmic"! The film has finished filming and will be going to The Sundance Film Festival and the Toronto Independent Film Festival. During filming in Victoria, he got to drive an old Bugatti car and "had a blast" doing that.

                                            Winchester Galleries, Victoria, Canada November 4-29, 2007
                                            Bella Perla Gallery, Portland, OR, USA, June 2008

October 12, 2007- Check out Duncan's profile page at Saatchi's Gallery here.

The more people who visit the more accolades he gets. This is also the case with the imdb site. Visiting his profile on imdb can give him more hits on his star meter and producers may notice.

July 2007 - The DVD release of The Monster Squad is scheduled for July 24th. Apparently Duncan did a couple of additional interviews for Lion's Gate Pictures for the event. They've also included the interview taped at the Monster Mania Convention last February in the "Special Features" part of the disk. Amazon prices for this are pretty low too, considering how much anticipation there has been for this release.

The first interview is included in the current issue of "Rue Morgue Magazine." If your local venders do not carry this magazine, you can purchase it from http://www.rue-morgue.com.

The second interview will appear Monday as part of a feature at another website, http://dvd.ign.com/articles/807/807428p1.html.

Of course, as usual, there's the usual disclaimers in case he has other conflicts in his schedule, but it looks to be a wide range of his art at this one. Pieces from the "Crysalid", "Corvus Rex", "Poetic Imagery" series will join a few from his early "Henge" work.

May 2007 - A release date of July 24th has finally been set for the DVD version of The Monster Squad. The expected cover art is displayed here.

February 2007 - Click here for more about the symphony piece itself. For a nice recent picture of Duncan meeting a fan, go to her website here.

October 2006 - Duncan is set to make a personal appearance at the Monster-Mania Con 7 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The dates for the convention are February 16th through the18th. Duncan will be there to celebrate the twentieth reunion for The Monster Squad. This will be his first ever appearance at a convention. He has scheduled one once before and was unable to make it there; and there is always that clause in any actor's contract for this type of thing that says if something else comes up career-wise, he can be a no-show. But hopefully he will be there this time. Click here for more information.

April 2006 - Presumed Dead premiered on the Lifetime channel on April 2nd. It has already been rerun once but isn't schedule to be re-shown again during April.

January 2006 - Duncan has apparently completed a new made-for-television film called Presumed Dead for Insight Films. Pax television, which has now become "I" television, has been re-showing the old episodes of Body & Soul at 9:00 PM (Central Standard Time) on Sunday nights. So far, it looks as if they are going to rerun every episode that was originally shown, but not the one episode that never made it to air.

Duncan has made available to the public artist's proofs of his drawings, The Fox Graphics. These are of Zorro and are Duncan's salute to his fans of that series. Details can be found at his official website, duncanregehr.com. There are a total of 18 drawings in all and they can be bought in sets of three or individually.
