SLINGERS!

Ahh, I've been sitting on this. Warren broke it this morning, so it looks like we're cool with throwing it up. The first guy who linked to this blog who wasn't Warren -- Mike Sizemore -- is making a TV show.

SLINGERS from Mike Atherton on Vimeo.



The link to his blog is here.

The off-screen "You wanker!" just broke me.

This looks completely awesome. I love the future-retro aesthetic, and even from the trailer, the characters look really interesting and engaging.

Sizemore said...

Cheers, John. Always amused you kept me in the side bar along with all those real writers. Time I stepped up.

Tara - So happy you enjoyed it. I'll pass that on to the crew. Just between you and me, the "You wanker" line almost got cut at *every* turn. Very happy we kept it and that it did its job :)

Vaughn said...

Very cool. Had to watch it twice to "get" some of it, but I guess that's natural when things are flashing by so fast in a little sizzle reel. I didn't get why the robot thing blasted all the guys into that window, weren't they on the same team? Did I miss something?

But this looks tonnes of fun, hope it goes to pilot/series.

Red said...

At work, so didn't watch the videos. However, did go to Sizemore's blog and read the treatment and saw pics of cast.

Can I be the first to throw out the word "Firefly"? You had be at "heist" and "She will kick your ass."

Looking forward to it.

Jason Pollock said...

Loved it. I loved the AI in the gun that won't let you fire it if you're stressed, the chip as a hacking tool, and that the job was to "steal" a captive AI.

The "wanker" line was perfect.

Very cool. I even like that the bad guy is both annoyed and proud of the team.

Vaughn said...

You'd be rude NOT to compare it to Firefly ;)

Sci-fi about a war veteran in charge of a ragtag ship of thieves and outcasts sticking a middle finger up to a malevolent power. Come on! But if you're gunna riff on a show, you could do a lot worse. And Firefly probably riffs on a lot of stuff anyway.

The 60s Rat Pack feel and heavily futuristic (instead of Western) motifs certainly give it a far different look to that show, anyway.

Susan said...

One hundred percent agreed on the awesomeness of the off-handed "You wanker!" I have such a thing for teams that are good enough to mess with each other during jobs. Nothing is more likely to get me to watch than that.

Tulse said...

Looks fantastic, and Sean Pertwee is always great. And could hardly go wrong using Firefly as an inspiration, although the Sixties look in this context seem very fresh and hip to me.

Any more details on the production? When will we see this?

Devinoch said...

My God... I've watched it a dozen times already and still I want more. The gun going (and SAYING on the LED screen) "Click!" has made me laugh an endless number of times...

And the guy's reaction to it? Priceless, because he looks as much amused as he does annoyed... and that so works for me...

Theliel said...

DO WANT

I found it closer (in tone and soundtrack) to Cowboy Beebop than FIrefly (the former being NOLA Blues in Space and the latter being Johnny Cash/Social Distortion in Space).

'Bout time we had Bratpack in Space!

Also, I think my brain is wired for this sort of thing, because it not only wasn't confusing at all, I just wanted it to be 10000x longer.

Theliel said...

I missed that it has the Living Incarnation of Entertainment Pertwe....Now I *have* to watch it.

(Totally not a fanboy..really)

Geoff Thorne said...

This inspires another in the series of violent, body-wrenching jags of "Dammit!" that seem to define my existence these days.

Could this thing possibly be more made of awesome?

The coolness is just falling off the vine.

Benticore said...

I'll second the cowboy bebop vibe. This looks awesome and I'd say that the music will probably be very important. As in cowboy bebop, you get the music right and this thing will SHINE.

So. When do I get to watch this? Cause I for-reals wants this NOW.

Also, the gun saying click was hilarious.

Rebekah said...

It has Pertwee in it, so I will be watching. Hope the pilot ends up looking this awesome.

GinaFan said...

Holy s***! That looks awesome, and expensive. I say feature film. Can they keep this level of cool up for TV series money?

Mike's "Boom" clip is a little work of art.

Anonymous said...

I really like the visual bookending with the martini/cherry at the start and the planet/moon at the end. Very nicely done.

And very "Objects in Space" if we're to continue the Firefly comparisons.

Comparisons aside, it looks plenty fresh even as it draws from the "xyz in space" genre.

Erin said...

WHEN and WHERE is this airing? Please tell me it's coming to the states at some point...

hodag said...

Rogers,
You have to press Devlin's help in getting this on the air. Double-Featured with Leverage, the power would be unstoppable.

Unknown said...

What is that music? It's haunting me. I gather it's "The Mummers" but I can't find that track anywhere.

What is it?

Sizemore said...

Jumpp - Yep, it's The Mummers. The track is called 'Mistaken Identity in the 23rd Century' and was written especially for SLINGERS so isn't available. Yet. We'll have to see what we can do about that in the new year :)

Killah Mate said...

A mega-stylish British Retro Sci-Fi con show? With Sean Pertwee in it? If you'll pardon my language HOLY FUCKING SHIT THERE IS A GOD AND I FEEL HER LOVE.

It totally seems more Cowboy Bebop than Firefly, and when you're registering between those two you know you've got something special. Also, strictly visually speaking, I find that the cleverly extensive use of holograms really adds a lot to the immersion factor. It also may have caused me to jizz in my pants, but I'd never admit to that.
