"Loadout: Going In Hot" is a sci-fi short inspired by the popular, hyper-violent, third-person shooter "Loadout" from Edge of Reality. Introducing viewers to Gaz, Captain of the HMS Loadout, and his loyal crew, the film delivers to viewers the same excitement, absurdity, and key gameplay elements that fans of the game have come to know and love.
Headlined by Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galactica, All My Children) who brilliantly portrays Captain Gaz, the film features a strong ensemble cast which serves to create a character-driven drama that doesn't ignore the fast-paced, high stakes action that are mainstays of the gaming experience.
Directed by Vincent Talenti (Red Star, Fallout: Nuka Break), the short film also stars Mattew Mercer (Resident
Evil 6, Iron Man: Rise of Technovore), Bonnie Bower (Fallout: Nuka Break, Escape), Jon Enge (Mars Rising
Films), Becca Hardy (Off-Season), and Circus-Szalewski (Fallout: Nuka Break, Conan O'Brien)
In a novel twist on the well-traveled sci-fi genre, "Loadout: Going In Hot" follows a group of "merchant marines in space" who compete with other local haulers in the highly profitable (and extremely dangerous) antiquities and curios shipping business. Gaz and his crew scramble to avert a ship-wide disaster; while racing against the clock and Gaz's arch nemesis, Mick, in their quest to retrieve a high value cargo payload. Like other critically acclaimed sci-fi properties (Firefly, Battlestar Galactica), "Loadout: Going In Hot" is peppered with genre action and violence while focusing on character development and interactions.
