Anyone heard anything about this? It's a comedy set in the future but a 1970s future - brief clip of set here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZWpKneoSck more here: http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=35609
We'll have to wait and see. In the end it'll depend on the balance between comedy elements and homage to productions from that era.
Looks like Anchorman meets Galaxy Quest meets Space 1999? I'd give it a go unless reviews and word of mouth are horrible.
Patrick Wilson's character really needs Will Ferrell to pull it off but then people would just claim it as Anchorman in Space so...
The retro futurism is absolutely beatiful, would prefer if it was more a humorous drama though. I got a bad feeling it might be an idiocracy type comedy. Amazing premise with horrid execution. I hope this brings back the 70s era future design, they are severly underated as a vision of the future.
Yeah, maybe it's because I was a child then but I love the look of films and TV programmes like Silent Running and Space 1999.
