Quote:

"The movie takes Johnny through the world championships in 2008; the series picks up from there," Pellerito said. "The focus of the series is how Johnny deals with [his fifth-place finish] at U.S. nationals this year, not going to worlds, and the challenges he has trying to make the [2010] Olympic team again." "The idea is for it to start [airing] in very early January," Barba added. "There will be eight episodes, seven [taking place] before the Olympics and the eighth after the Olympics. That final episode will be sort of a 'Where is Johnny now?' wrap-up."

Imo, this sounds very interesting. I'm really looking forward to it!!
And here is a "Pop Star on Ice" Teaser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUF6QaFs9Eg
Really cool and I love what he does with his voice!!

Thanks for starting this subject, Nina and this teaser is just... WOW !

I have a documentary DVD of his 2006-2007 season. it takes about 2 hour to watch , so it was a little bit long and boring for me but I'm also very looking forward to this movie!! (85min sounds good for me. lol)

Thank you Emi !!!! :incass:

he doesn't look like a man but he doesn't look like a woman ...... what came to my mind hearing the comments in the beginning was - is it a plane? no!!! is it a bird? no!!!! .... it's johnny weir !!!! ( i hope every one knows the song or else what i just said it's weird )

Johnny updated his journal:

It's might be his longest entry ever, but totally worth reading. Somehow I love the way he writes... :super:

i just read the journal entry too. well johnny always comes of very self centred ( i don't know how to explain it well ) but somehow manages not to be off putting. i like him too and the way he writes!!!!

Thanks Nina! I love the way Johnny writes. His journal is always interesting.

sometimes time passes and i forget a little why i really like johnny and then i see something like this and i remember. because he's witty and funny and so beautiful. i keep my fingers crossed that he qualifies for the olympic team and he has a great time there.
