Ho! Ho! Ho!
"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.
Tuesday, December 16

A behind the scenes image from the photo shoot yesterday by Chris Loomis with actress Gigi Edgley (Chiana on Farscape, Rescue: Special Ops & The Host of Jim Henson's Creature Ship Challenge) at Studio 1444
in Hollywood.
Formerly a recording studio, Studio 1444 has a rich musical history.
Among the artists that recorded there were Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Frank Zappa, Alice Cooper, Velvet Underground, The Monkees, The Ventures, Eric Burdon, Nico, Mothers of Invention, House of Pain, Everlast, Barbara Streisand, and Limp Bizkit.
Studio history aside, I usually give Chris a hand at these photo shoots, so I was happy to help out...joining us was Maira Gomez, who is a professional makeup artist & who made sure that Gigi was ready for each take!
Be sure and meet Gigi at next weeks upcoming Geekonomicon in Biloxi, Mississippi along with Battlestar Galactica's Richard Hatch & Jack Stauffer Dec 12th-14th!

“Ascension” an Original Sy-Fy (TV mini-series)
In just 11 days, our favorite Cylon, Tricia “6” Helfer embarks on the USS Ascension the original Sy-Fy Mini Series. It’s almost as if Tricia’s part was custom tailored for #6. Her part is the beautiful, manipulative and dangerous wife of the Ascensions, Captain Denninger.
Ascension is inspired by the real-life Project Orion that existed under the administration of President John F. Kennedy. The show sets up an alternate version of reality which in 1963, President Kennedy and the U.S. government, fearing the Cold War will become hot and lead to the destruction of the Earth. President Kennedy decides to launch a covert space mission. 600 men, women and children are sent into space on a century-long voyage aboard the USS Ascension, a massive, self-sustaining generation ship. Their mission is to colonize Proxima Centauri assuring the survival of the human race. Nearly 50 years into the journey (i.e. in the present), as they approach the point of no return, the mysterious murder of a young woman — the first homicide since their departure — causes the ship's crew to question the true nature of their mission.
