The GOOD BOY non-trailer.

Apparently they didn’t make one? I’m guessing, at least. Which is a shame, because GOOD BOY sounds like a, heh, killer concept: “This chilling and surprisingly heartfelt horror film is told entirely from the perspective of Indy, a devoted dog who must protect his owner from a supernatural force.” Apparently it’s getting rave reviews at SXSW, but I’m intrigued anyway. And good luck getting Hollywood to make something like this without messing it up…

72 hours left on the Lead & Chrome Backerkit!

Lead & Chrome is of course the Fermi Resolution Worldbook‘s cross-collaboration partner in Backerkit, and they’re having a great crowdfunding, too. But every little bit helps, right?

I was gonna say that if you were the kind of person who remembers Hell Comes To Frogtown fondly, you’d probably enjoy it – but apparently saying this dates me, because HCTF DVDs are going for insane prices on Amazon. Like, almost two hundred dollars a pop.

…I backed Lead & Chrome, okay? I would’ve even if we weren’t partnering up on this. Check ’em out.

Paramount is doing a Star Trek… radio play?

I mean, they’re calling it something else.

Star Trek: Khan, the scripted audio series first announced in 2022, is coming this year as Paramount announces Lost actor Naveen Andrews as the title role.

Joining Andrews as Marla McGivers, the Enterprise crew member who joined Khan and his crew at the end of the Star Trek: The Original Series episode “Space Seed,” is Wrenn Schmidt — known for For All Mankind.

“How did Khan go from a beneficent tyrant and superhuman visionary with a new world at his fingertips to the monster we think we know so well? Recently unearthed, the rest of Khan’s story will finally be told in Star Trek: Khan,” says Paramount’s formal announcement.
