Looks all right. I noticed it says in Theatres and DVD on June 2005. I wonder which theaters it's going to be in?

Well it looks as though I was mistaken..... Despite the rather poor publicity and silence from Pendragon there does appear to be a movie with at least some actors and some authentic period scenes and some special effects. It looks interesting..... I am not convinced by the fighting machines..... and the acting is rather mannered..... maybe the special effects are of uneven quality..... but I suppose "the wonder is not that the bear dances well but that it should dance at all!" At this stage I would say Mr Hines deserves some congratulations for having got this far...... Let's hope that he has been holding even more back than we have seen. So far he has made me look a little foolish..... Let's see if he can go the whole way and make me look a complete idiot..... I don't mind being wrong for a change  Come on Timbo, make my day! ;D Zoe |

Yay!
I actually think it looks great!
Very impressed.
Maybe this will soothe some of the ill feelings generated around here!
Ooh, I might open a can of Skol. (For non Brits, Skol is one of the finest beers known to man. (apart from Tennents)).

It's better put together then the previous trailers. but the ham acting (and no,it's not "period " acting but a bad idea of what Victorian acting was like) and bad accents are still there and the effects range from dodgy and rushed to downright Ed Woodish.
I guess there is just a gap between those who want ANY "authentic" adaptation and those of us who also insist that it be a decent adaptation.

You liked that?
Seriously?
You're having me on. You can't be that uncritical.
Are you all looking at the same trailer that I just watched. From my position (doubled up on the floor laughing), it was appalling!
I started to write out a detailed list of the terrible, inexcusable things crammed into that trailer, but then gave up when I realised that it was everything. No redeeming features.
If that had been a fan film it would be BARELY tolerable.

No wonder it has taken so long to get things together - a) the film is three hours long, and b) all the effects seem to be Harryhausen stop motion model work. Jeez, no wonder Tim hasn't been about if he's been doing all that himself.
He certainly has talent on a conceptual level, as well as one for hype.
Looked ok to me to be quite honest, genuine straight to DVD material indeed, but at least we will get one vision of Well's material.

Apart from the sky dish on the fm, why?? slowly moving the trailer with quicktime something seems to place the heat ray on the hood... maybe the hood is used for the storage place when the heat ray is not in use or its put up there to use another tenticle to grab people. Also notice the heat ray is invisible ... yay! |
