    Looks great Mike, some really nice VFX. The story looks intriguing, cant wait to see more.

    If you are shooting the pilot in 2010 where did this footage come from? Was it shot and posted solely for the sizzle reel?

    The 'lead actor' has the exact same voice (and almost as strong a presence) as his legendary father... May he rest in peace.

  • Robert Carlisto 2 years ago
    Can't say enough good stuff about the visual direction of this. A tasty new twist on a classic period and genre. Intriguing. Consider me a viewer for the pilot!
  •  
  • Geoff Hickman 2 years ago
    you have no idea how dead cool this looks. Ok, maybe you do :) you know when you watch something and it just has "it"? you can't put your finger on it, but it's there. "It's" definitely here.

    Pishba - yep, been quite a trip

    Dean - it's in the mail

    Influxx Media - Glad you liked it. The sizzle was shot in 2 days a few months ago with its very own budget. Primarily for industry events in Cannes and LA to show that we knew what we were doing :)

    Tom - Thank you. Glad you got a kick out of it.

    Mike - it does have a nice ring to it. It's a term we came across early on and knew we wanted to have a crack at one.

    Documentally - Cheers, man. Thanks for all the link love.

    Kevin - Thanks! Glad you liked it.

    Steve - don't worry, we have lots of violence too :) But still plenty you'll like I think.

    Kosso - we're overdue for drinks. Glad you liked it. Those posters are a tad out of date now lol

    Dave - goodo. We'll aim for the triple sweetspot next time.

    Darren - Cheers!

    Jeremiah - We're fond of him too. Glad it did its job :)

    Rupert - its actually an animated gif.

    Andrew - we aim to please :) Glad you liked it.

    Nefisa - Sean is brilliant. We're lucky to have him. I grew up watching his father. Must be in the genes.

    Robert - Thanks so much. We spent a lot of time before filming to make sure we had something special on paper. Glad it translated well :)

    Geoff - Thanks. I did watch it a few times myself early on, just as giddy as a child. Glad it's so loved out in the wider world.

    Nate - We're working on it. Watch this space!

    Igor - Fingers crossed :) Cheers!

    Will - Glad you liked it :)

    Luke - Shouldn't you be editing your own masterpiece? Can't wait for WARHOUSE!

    Jalaludin - Thanks, man. More to come!

    David - we're mostly Brits, but we're aiming for the American networks.

    PJ - sorry you had a problem. I believe someone has thrown this up on YouTube now too. But let me know if you're still having problems.

    Peter - Thanks!

    Kashif - Cheers! We're getting there...

    Sam - Glad you liked it!

    Abe - Neither can we. Good news soon I hope.

    Raymond - thanks, man!

    Joe - we're trying to get it made for you :)

    Dominik / Andreas - Should be an interesting year!

    Alex - It was recorded for us by THE MUMMERS and is called 'Mistaken Identity in the 23rd Century'

    Dunckwun - we're all about the fun :)

    Brennan - We got bored of waiting for someone else to do it :) Cheers!

    Robert - Brilliant! So glad you liked it :)

    Anthony - We're gonna do our very best!

    a - We have plans. Even a scheme or two.

    THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS! YOU GUYS ROCK!

    Hey! Great job! I'm glad to see there are more people out there trying to jump start their own Sci Fi series. I loved the trailer, it is perhaps a tad confusing and bordering the teasing area but it is still lovable. And I also liked what I believe to be a slight Doctor Who-ish tinge. Anyway, I can wait to see this up and running!

    Definitely touched a nerve here, being a fan of sci-fi, cons (Hustle), and Sean Pertwee. VFX very, very good for just a promo. Good luck to you!

    OMG! Extraordinary . Please make it happen. My only concern is that your beautiful vision will become victim of political correctness and certain elements (like smoking) will be sacrificed .

    A sci-fi "Hustle"
    Looks interesting

    This... should not be possible. Shows this cool don't actually exist. They *can't* actually exist, they can only be seen in feverish fan dreams. By bringing it into our physical reality you have broken the very laws of nature.

    Good on you!

    Freaking unbelievable.
  •  
  • Honestly, this is the most innovating entertaining video I've experienced in like years.
    Very exquisite. Amazing script, casting, audio, actors.
    I envy you. I would really like to watch a movie about the Slingers. Or even a TV series.
    Love your aesthetics. The very old film like but in the future feeling is remarkable.
    Love the jazzy soundtrack as well as the clear voiceover sexy voice.
    Thank you for the 3 minute climax in my afternoon.
    GC.

    PS> i just read the info. You are shooting a pilot. That's great. Can't wait to enter your universe.

    As i have seen this unfold - I believe it will be one of the most talked about sci-fi productions of 2011,

    i am just waiting for the next installment of sizzle

  • Nice one.
