Title: Con Man by Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion
Post by: Tom on March 11, 2015, 06:29:19 PM
It's a TV show (or will be) they describe as "Extras meets Galaxy Quest".

It's already funded and it launched yesterday.

Intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byPL5XIvtZc

Seems like it might be interesting.

Yeah I helped it out.  Hope it makes it into a network or full length web show.  It has some great cast members.

Richard Castle and Alpha as "buddies"? *SOLD*.

Now if only they get the same casting directory as Husbands (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Husbands_(TV_series)#Cast_and_characters)! One can hope! #SuddenUrgeToRe-WatchThe2012VersionOfMuchAdoAboutNothing


PS: Felicia Day (http://www.amazon.com/Youre-Never-Weird-Internet-Almost/dp/1476785651) has written a freakin' memoir? WWWWD*?



PPS: "Leaf on the wind" is not pandering! 10,000 internet points awarded!









*What Wil Will Wheaton Do? Because... you know, he's written a couple already. And they're like feeding off each other's geek cred and nerd energy etc. Which is awesome btw. Just finishing up "Space Janitors" (another Geek & Sundry joint). Highly recommended. Thanks WW & FD & everyone else who ever does stuff on G&S! (many of whom are Canucks! (Especially on SJ! (Like, a few folks from PicnicFace make appearances! (And even Colin Mochrie!) ) ) )

Good job on the parentheses there, they're correctly matched...  Man, I don't miss programming in Lisp.

Take Firefly fandom and/or mythos.

Add insanity of Hollywood culture (and a touch of Curb Your Enthusiasm vibe) AND the even more crazy insanity of fanboyz/grrrlz.

Add a bunch of friends cameoing or playing a warped version of themselves (again, Curb).

Thank the fans in advance.

PROFIT!

And grins ear to ear around the interweb.



PS: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/con-man they exceeded 3 million -- their highest stretch goal! ...think of what might have happened if they weren't thinking so small O_O


PPS: the "Comments" @ indiegogo brings you this:

Here is the video from the ConMan panel at SDCC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGonc64uQMY

And here's the Nerd HQ panel with Con Man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IGrlfle-1o <-- Q&A moderated by Zachary "CHUCK!" Levi


I am VERY impressed that they got what looks like so much great content in only 4 months (!)

I watched the Nerd HQ panel yesterday (because it was a bit shorter in length).

Today I am watching the SDCC panel and WOW, hilarious and interesting, PERFECT lunchtime viewing -- highly recommended, what a casting coup! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGonc64uQMY


If you're all interested in, you know, pop culture and funny smart interesting people... you know, whatevs... /looks down sheepishly, kicks away a pebble

The SDCC panel was worth the 90 minute viewing investment!

They shared a bunch of interesting info too, like the length and # of episodes, more details about the crowdfunding and "The League Of Extras", etc.

Also, Chris Hardwick did his usual TERRIC job hosting this Q&A.


Also also, it was the birthplace of a hashtag (https://twitter.com/hashtag/imaginathan)  8)

SO cool to this "no studio execs diluted the purity level of awesomeness!" project is starting to get talked about in mainstream (aka non-geekdom) "industry" media world...
