I'm down.

this looks amazing! I really hope it gets made into a show.

Fox will buy it, It will be great, it will get cancelled.

Hell yes! It's like a live-action Cowboy Bebop!

i hope they manage to make the pilot and go to series though given the gods of holly wood if it does go to series it will proably wind up on fox . since that what happens to shows that have the potential like this to be really good

This show belongs on Sy Fy, at least they'd give it three seasons or so before canceling it at the top of its ratings for being too expensive to make. It'd be more of a fair shake than Fox would give it.

I thought of Cowboy Bebop, too.

We shouldn't kid ourselves, though. This will never make it out of development hell.

Holy F'ing A...that looks incredible. But to be realistic; here's why it will fail; it looks to be a smart, well-written sci-fi show with cult-like appeal while hitting the right main-stream demographics. And we all know, in a world of injustice (Jon & Kate plus 8, Wife Swap, and every Law & Order spin off) that does not bode well for smart-TV (Arrested Development, Firefly, Futurama)

Here's hoping I'm wrong and 11 years from now, I post about how this show has run it's course and needs to end....

Aweasome trailer. I'd watch the hell out of that show. They need to change the name though. Slingers just makes the whole thing sound like some parody or crappy spinoff of the show Sliders.

Holy shit this looks awesome.

Just leave Hollywood out of it, I say. Let the Brits make it and we'll get it a few months later via BBC America. I'll wait.

And if every episode is narrated by Sean Pertwee, that's okay by me, too. That guy definitely has one of THE voices. Now I've gotta watch DOG SOLDIERS again. Get my fix...

I am up to 10 viewings on this thing, and it doesn't get old. This will be more BBC gold if it gets picked up.

That looks AMAZING! I'd watch that any day.

So, what studio did the new BSG? Because there's obviously somebody making decent science fiction out there. It's just a question of getting this to that studio, and not to FOX.

Because this show does look awesome.

Doctor Who Trivia Time!:

Sean Pertwee is the son of Jon Pertwee, the actor who played the 3rd Doctor!

Where do we need to go and who do we need to relentlessly pester to make sure this gets into production?

All I can say is this. This show is too awesome for anyone tv executive to let it run. It seems to be a law that any smart, well written, and awesome show cannot go on for very long (Arrested Development, Firefly) and if by some miracle this show gets made it will probably only get half a season (aired out of order of course) before it gets canceled for a reality tv show or re-runs of star trek. God I hope I am wrong and there are at least a few intelligent people at Sci-fi channel (I could be wrong, the do call themselves "Syfy" now). Here is hoping for justice in the world.

This looks like a winner! Noice!
e

Nice. But keep it away from broadcast networks. Stick with cable, syndication or the BBC and it might actually survive.

looks awesome. and people having been saying this but I too think it's more reminiscent of Bebop that Ocean's. maybe it has to do with the smooth jazz in the background.

Oh god don't let the BBC get their hands on it, it will turn into more shit like Bonekickers or Paradox.... I just hope that someone with a bit of vision picks it up and makes a decent stab at it cos it looks SWEET!

I'd be more than willing to watch this show.

Now this looks just a bit good.

Is that Jack Davenport on the voice?

Oh my god...that looks beyond awesome and I'm already pissed that we'll probably never hear anymore of it. This is a show that NEEDS to happen...somebody,somewhere make it so!!!

I will happily blow or eat-out any amount of people to get this show made. In fact, I'll even go for anal if it'll keep FOX or SyFy from buying/making it (just to let it wither on the vine).

Someone at Fox is hatching a plan to buy and kill this show as we speak.

Little bit of Bebop, little bit of Firefly, and a little bit of the excellent show Hustle. Oh great forces of the world, just give it to the BBC give us five or six excellent and fully contained episodes per season and then let it run for four or five seasons. I'd be happy with that, really. Is that too much to ask? I mean, if I got that, then you could have an American version that utterly stank. I'm willing to make that sacrifice. Please?

I'll only watch this if Sean Pertwees character dies in it.

Darn it! you got me all excited for a show that isn't real. You tease.

so.... firefly in the 60s instead of the old west?

can't wait until fox cancels it mid season!

This looks catchy. Having said that, I'll be over in the corner being preemptively disappointed that this'll never get made because it just looks, as you said, too cool to exist.

In a parallel universe, I'm already popping the first season HD-DVD into my XboxStation 720.

Yeah, the Jazz and space swindlers made me think of Cowboy Bebop. Of course I'm not gonna be one of those bitchy anime fans screaming 'rip off' like when Firefly came out. I welcome more shows in this sub genre. This looks amazing.

Personally I would like to see USA make this one. I know they aren't known for sci-fi but I feel they would give it a better quality of actors in the cast than syfy would. Although syfy would probably give it the better budget. As long as fox doesn't get their horrible hands on it everything should be gravy.

no doubt fox is already plotting to make sure the show does not get a chance to become the new cult favorite it should be. for after all can not have a show as good as that one looks to be live for that would upset the balance of holly wood.and fox keeping their evil alive

Ya know where this show should go? USA Network. They love and nurture their shows.

I'd rather be optimistic: The show runs for 20 seasons or so without losing quality, then all the other sci-fi shows on whatever channel it airs on becomes just as good, then world peace happens and everybody in the world wins a million dollars.

Realistically though, it'll run for 2-4 seasons, and then either gets canceled, or starts sucking, then we get on with our lives.

The end with the AI that thanks them reminds me of the short titled Freeware that was circulating a number of years ago...

the music at the end may be by the Mummers, but the jazz music through the main action sequences is surely 'Theme de Yoyo' by Art Ensemble of Chicago from their 1970 Les Stances à Sophie album. (either that or a note for note cover) Excellent tune either way.

This series oozes potential for sci-fi greatness............ but it is all too likely that potential will be squandered by misguided TV executives, and their amazing talent for singling out good shows, the steadily condemning them to mainstream mediocrity.

Still, I will be praying to the Gods of science fiction that this one makes it.

This looks like a cowboy bebop/firefly crossover,and i am in love with both of those shows! lets all hope that they can pull it off.

Mike Sizemore is a good friend of mine... I met him over 10 years ago through the forums at the now defunct punkplanet.com. He and his girlfriend have visited me here and the states, and my wife and I have visited them over in London. I'm so happy to see a project of his get this much love - you just have no idea. Mike is a frickin' great guy. He's funny as hell, smart as can be, and hopelessly sarcastic. I think he's finally found his niche. I can't wait to see this show come to fruition - both for myself and him.
