Filmmaker and game designer Mark Ross is making a new film called Curse of the Phantom Shadow and he needs your help to finish it! I’m a huge fan of pulp sci-fi films from the 1940’s and 1950’s and this looks like a great project that really captures the look and feel of the old serials. Ross describes the premise as:
“The year is 1948 and the United States has a new enemy, The Phantom Shadow. This dark figure has diabolical plans for captured scientist, Dr. Hammond, and his War Department weapons of mass destruction. Upon the Phantom Shadow launching a treacherous missile attack on key locations in the United States, the government takes action.
There is only one man to call, Agent 236, an elite government agent. Agent 236 has been dispatched to launch a rescue.
Along the way, Agent 236 is befriended by a spunky, sarcastic, gas station attendant who just happens to have pinup girl good looks. She also just happens to be looking for a little action,and excitement. Luckily, Agent 236 is the man of her dreams. Agent 236 puts the station attendant and her tow truck into service in pursuit of the Phantom Shadow.”
Sounds like a great film to me and the video below gives you an idea of how is looks so far. Check it out and then go donate to help get this picture finished!
