Well I hope it happens. They've done a lot of work so far it seems and it would be nice if this one makes it to the end as it looks like a pretty interesting concept in the spirit of Anderson with perhaps some Wallace and Grommit humor thrown in for good measure.

No comment other than possibly the most intuitive understatement in this forum to date.

As far as I know they've been trying to get this project - or something similar - off the ground for the last ten years. Somehow things just don't seem to have worked out yet. May be this time...?

Are you looking at the video where they've added a clapperboard saying "Agent Crush" in between shots from "Batman Begins" as if it's footage shot by them? That's just beyond disgraceful IMO. I wonder how Warner Brothers would feel about it if they saw it? Outraged I imagine.

from DX s last comment ,if that's how they do business ,it's not surprising the money isn't forthcoming to make this.
cheers Paul

The Agent Crush site has been updated & Mike Trim's amazing contributions are featured heavily.
http://agentcrush.com/
There's a pretty cool effects shot masquerading as the 'trailer' for the movie too. Lovely stuff. They've hit the nostalgic look of C21 effects dead on. I really hope it's a success for all concerned and that the merchandising end is well looked after too - Many of MIke's vehicle designs would translate to really nice kits or toys.... Pay attention PE! - Opportunity's knocking. Anyway, go visit lads - it's well worth your time.
Cheers,
Graeme

Yea JD:
I noticed it too - Also: Did you notice that the car body resting on that familiar contour looks like Bond's DB5 - Nice spy theme tie-in there... I hope they can pull it off as a sight gag for real.
Cheers,
Graeme

According to Mike Trim's biog on the Crush site he appears to have been responsible for designing the SPV and the Angel Interceptor in the original Captain Scarlet series. Hope the rest of their information's more accurate!

Just checked out the new trailer on the Crush site. Some very good looking effects material, but not sure if the puppets work that well. And thought I heard the 007 theme somewhere in the trailer - wonder if Eon have seen it...

someone must have stumped up some serious money for this as its obviously a goer now. some really good voice artists and some of the sets look really good. have to agree with Air Terrainean some of the puppets aren't brilliant. did you notice the launch out of the statue of liberty looks like a space 1999 travel tube?
cheers Paul
