"WAITING FOR GORGO" [2008]!!

[Avery Guerra]

Yeah, you read that right; "Gorgo"!! Apparently, it's a 15 minute short film written by; M.J. Simpson and directed by; Benjamin Craig: http://www.cinemagine.com/screen/waitingforgorgo/ and here's the details including links to several photos on 'Flicker': http://www.mjsimpson.co.uk/waitingforgorgo.html
Synopsis
"Deep in the bowels of the Ministry of Defense lies a secretive government department identified only as the ‘DMOA’. Just what the DMOA does has been lost in the annals of time - all that is known is that it's the last line of defense protecting London from total destruction.
Determined to find out more about this strange department, Alexandra, a young ambitious defense analyst, sets off into the rabbit warrens of Whitehall to see the DMOA for herself. Finding two aged public servants in varying stages of senility, Alexandra is convinced that the DMOA is the result of an unfortunate mistake. However, as the conversation progresses it becomes apparent that the old guys may not be as senile as they seem, and more worryingly, they may indeed be London's last line of defense."

Fascinating... I was hoping for a full-fledge movie, but oh well. No word on its release date or via which medium it'll be released by?

Here are some more details first in 'RoboJapan's scoop: http://robojapan.blogspot.com/2008/1...e-waiting.html and then 'QuietEarth's with the poster and trailer for the original: http://www.quietearth.us/articles/20...TING-FOR-GORGO and here's another awesome new image from the film: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3111/...1c6ae7.jpg?v=0 As far as the film's release; they plan on hitting the festival circuit soon and updates and showdates will be posted on M.J. Simpson's own website. I don't think they've decided on the release after it's theatrical run just yet. I'm not sure if it will be available for download or on a disc or possibly added to a special edition of "Gorgo" perhaps?? Time will tell. Let's just all get together and support this film so that if it's successful enough hopefully some studio and producer will actually remake the original film or make a sequel to it.
