The Fifth Horseman: A Sleepy Hollow Legend

Mr. Andrew O. "I Am A Moral Atheist" Lutes
wants the world to know:
"Washington Irving was making a biblical
allusion joke with the name of the lead
character in his 'Sleepy Hollow' story.
In I Samuel 4:21, the name 'Ichabod' means
'inglorious.' The Hebrews, like the Puritans,
gave verbs and adjectives as proper names.
So, by naming his character 'Ichabod,' Irving
was calling his character 'inglorious;' a
joke his biblically literate reading audience
no doubt smiled at, but is lost to current
day readers and watchers."

Reportedly, fantasy artist Brom is doing work for
the movie poster.

Inkworks is going to to do Sleepy Hollow trading cards
starting in October, supposedly with signed (autographed!!!)
cast member cards inserted randomly in every other box
(usually a box has between 24 and 36 individual packs
of cards in them), and other special bonus cards in
them as a promotional for the film. They did the same
thing with the Buffy series and were really successful
with the autographed cards being highly sought after
collecter's items. Hope you find a Depp and a Ricci!

Find photos of the Sleepy Hollow action figures in the Gallery
Here's a copy of the press release about McFarlane Toys
doing the Sleepy Hollow action figures.

Two new books by Tim Burton are coming out this fall.
The Art of Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow is due in
November from Pocket Books, and will cost around $30.
Another release from Pocket Books in November is Tim
Burton's Sleepy Hollow,
a "young adult, illustrated
paperback with introduction by Tim Burton" says Amazon.
At $5.99 it's probably just an adaptation of the movie
with some photos in the middle.
Terrible News! My Art and Films has been cancelled!
Info on this book is no longer available anywhere,
including Amazon. Hopefully, this just means that when
(not if) it does arrive, it'll be way cooler!

Disney is releasing a 50th anniversary video of
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mister Toad

Cinematek Productions is producing a fully 3-D computer graphic
version of the story for television with an associate company called
Computed Animation Technology. The program will be called "The
Night of the Headless Horseman" and air on FOX Thursday, October
28th at 8pm.
Unlike Tim's movie this animated version will be a true recreation
on the Irving classic. More info.

"Family-friendly" Odyssey is working on "Original 'big event'
programming, including a two-hour 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'
from Jim Henson's Creature Shop, will begin appearing this fall."
