Hello, I've been on the list now for a while, watching from a distance,
always reluctant to take part because I've had nothing much to say, but I
just wanted to point out this new trailer for IV:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrK7Im5UqP4

It features a rather tall, skinny, moustachioed man at around the minute
mark which reminded me a little of descriptions of P. He has a full head of
brown hair, something I doubt P would have at 77, but it could be a little
nod to the author, no? Having Doc run into his author as he was in 1970. As
far as I remember the shot shown (as well as a couple of others in the
trailer) was not used in the actual movie, although a similar looking
character appears briefly (and ominously) behind Owen Wilson when himself
and Doc are talking in the Boards' mansion.

Maybe I'm looking into it too much but thought it might be of interest
regardless.
