New Spin on Mystery Science Theater
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct 18, 2001 (AP Online via COMTEX) — After years of exile in outer space, the comic minds behind “Mystery Science Theater 3000” are turning toward Middle-earth for their next parody.
Former writers and performers of the cult cable-television favorite are re-teaming for “The Adventures of Edward the Less,” an illustrated streaming video series premiering Oct. 25 on www.scifi.com.
The 13 five-minute episodes are a loose takeoff on J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Middle-earth” books, “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy.
Instead of diminutive hobbits on a quest for a powerful ring, Scifi.com says “Edward the Less” features “an average little guy … who yearns to trade in his fairy-tale existence for a taste of real life.”
Scifi.com is the official Web site of the Sci-Fi Channel, which carried “Mystery Science Theater 3000” from 1997-99. The Twin Cities-produced show featured a trapped-in-space human and his homemade robots mocking cheesy movies, such as “Soultaker” and “Invasion of the Neptune Men.”
Josef Bugman does it again! New artwork from his Age of Kings LOTR Mod continues to turn out at a steady clip. This model is the second Bree house type. It’s not inspired directly from the movies, but adds variety while staying true to the general feel of the town of Bree.
If you like what you see, check out the following links to see just how amazingly accurate some of his work is to the movies, and learn more about his new Mod in development:
