Slingers Is Rat Pack And Oceans 11 Awesome

Holy crap. When I watched this test and funding bait loop for the soon may be piloted Brit Sci-Fi “Slingers”, my immediate thought was, (after I stopped hyper blinking) This thing is too good to succeed.

Maybe I’m old, crusty and cynical. Take a look for yourself and be prepared for full frontal awesome. A team of British gangster hipsters take on the galaxies riches with wicked tech and 60′s style. Mike Sizemore created the thing and this is his snapshot of the further processes.

It’s directed by Steve Barron and stars Sean Pertwee, Adrian Bower, Tom Mison, Margo Stilley, Haruka Abe, GUN and JUNIOR. The outstanding conceptual design was by Arran and Corran Brownlee. The music is by The Mummers. And yeah I’m the creator/writer/idiot who came up with it. Sleepydog are the guys running the show.

To quickly answer the most obvious question, we’re hoping to shoot the pilot in 2010. We have a few more meetings to get through before that happens, but we’re still heading in the right direction. In fact we’ve had a lot of good news since the last update on here, but I don’t wanna jinx anything just yet.

There’s a talking gun! OMG! Push play and thank me later. Thanks Toplessrobot!



  • ahhh

    well considering its a TV show with a smaller budget, the SFX are excusable and hopefully the story and characters are where they put the effort into.
