Screw-On Head
I posted this on the FPI blog a while back and realised I forgot to mention it here - SciFi have made the test episode of Mike Mignola's The Amazing Screw-On Head available on line and are actively asking folk's opinion to help decide if they should comission a whole series. I thought it rocked - the art is very similar to Mike's distinctive look (as seen in Hellboy) and it has a lovely steampunk feel to it, with the Screw-On Head himself a mechanical agent of Abraham Lincoln's, with different heads for different tasks (a bit like Wurzel Gummidge in that respect!). Paul Giamatti and David Hyde Pierce provide voice talent.
Sounds great Joe, apart from the fact that when I went to scifi.com and tried to view the pilot I was told that the show 'isn't available in my location'.
ReplyDeleteDid you actually get to see it yourself..?
Yeah, I did, mate - perhaps the buggers have now changed the settings? Very annoying. Suffice to say it will appeal to all of us Mignola fans.
ReplyDeleteI just bought and watched the DVD. David Hyde Pierce's character is amazingly funny.
