New Things To Watch

[filkertom]

You may have been aware that there's a new take on Alice this Sunday night on SyFy. You may not have been aware that there's The Hero of Time, a new fan movie based on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, that will be available for online viewing or free download on Dec. 14.

There's also a very cool teaser making the rounds for Buck Rogers.

There's a silent film of The Call of Cthulhu (trailer here).

And leave us not forget the other two recent fan film opi, Horrible Turn and The Hunt For Gollum.

Any cool fan vid we should know about? Really good AMVs (anime music videos) count.

ETA: And, not too long after I posted this we got RtRNRi30S(aR-EbB).

ETA2: Re: release of The Hero of Time -- I cannot brain, I have the dumb. It's Dec. 14. Fixed.

Are you sure about that Sunday figure? The website seems to say the 14th, which is a week from Monday.

I'll pull together a few favorite AMVs once I've done some more studying. With luck, I can finish my Professional Responsibility outline today...

Know what happened, I saw the "completed" graphic, for 6-6-09, and my brain slapped 'em together. D'uhr. Thanks, Will.

The Cthulhu movie's a few years old. I've got the DVD -- it's way cool.

I know. I've been meaning to get it, and drzarron reminded me of it last week, and given all the other fannish vid it seemed like a good time to link to it.

I got it a while back, too. Highly recommend it. They set out to make the movie as if it were made when the book first came out, and did a great job of it!

There's also the trailer for Slingers (http://vimeo.com/7963572) a sci-fi version of Leverage they are trying to develop into a series.

Oooh, beat me too it.

[roman-mclaze.livejournal.com]

I want this!

But then, I liked Pluto Nash, so my idea of good postmodern SF is probably suspect.

Did not know about this Zelda movie. Will be lookin' forward to that for sure.

The Cthulhu movie is indeed excellent. I can't now imagine them doing it any other way. I think even he might have liked it.

There's also a couple of Doctor Who fan films floating about.

Buck Rodgers looks cool. I hope they stick with the retro sci-fi look and not have the annoying robot with bling.

At Dragoncon, Gil Gerard (who is really high up in this process and will star as Buck's Dad and then future commanding officer with Erin Gray as Mom) said that they are going back to the original story about him being trapped in a cave on earth, not frozen in space. They are taking it steampunk. I was really disappointed by it, but that's what they said. The head writer was there talking about it too.

The Gamers: Dorkness Rising

A well-done, fun tribute to RPG gamers. Must see for anyone who enjoys gaming.

Another vote for the silent Cthulhu.

Here's another, less choppy trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBc-V1_Wan8)

This is a good blend of Trigun and Stan Freberg's "Banana Boat":

The problem is that I expect Alice to fall through the rabbit hole and wind up in a diner in Phoenix.
