I wonder how long it'll be before someone tries to remake it...

I'm thinking right around the time Travolta makes his NEXT comeback, that way he can play a small cameo role. Wouldn't that be swell!!!!!

It should be noted that with all the cuts I made to the movie, it now runs a trim 96 minutes. That number might go up another minute or two, but I've essentially cut ten minutes of useless crap, and the whole thing runs much tighter.

I think the best improvement is that the movie no longer grinds to a halt every time someone tells a joke. All the "funny" bits in the movie followed this awful pattern where it would be moving along, then stop-JOKE-start back up. Trimming one-liners and unnecessary humorous asides brings the movie to a much more even tone.

Yet another redesign of Nimbus III. I'm finally happy with this one.

Jesus... has it really been two years since this last post?

I still really want to finish this fucking project. But I'm still no modeller, and that was mostly what was holding me back. I never found a suitable model of the shuttlecraft, and my attempts at making a rock creature for the finale were just shite.

Hey, Cymro... you still playing with Lightwave? Wanna get in on this?

Finish it! Show them how it's done.





Also change the head of the Klingon Captain. He looks way too much like Tim Curry playing that evil clown in Stephen King's IT.

Are you too busy working on Duke Nukem Forever to finish this project?
