Posted by The Silence on Tue Nov 24 12:38:20 2015 TWANG!sorry, couldn't help it. For the past two weeks, series creator and original star Joel Hodgson has been running a kickstarter to help bring the show back. The overall goal is $5.5 Million for a 12 episode season. so far, the project is about 48.5% funded at about $2.67 Million (I, as a massive fan, pledged $100). the minimum goal was $2 million for three new epsiodes. $3.3 Million makes six. $4.4 Million is 9. While classic cast members have been invited back, Joel has selected a new cast for the new season. The new host is Jonah Ray from "The Nerdist" podcasts as "Jonah Heston" the new Mad scientist is geek queen Felicia Day ("Dr. Horrible's Sing along blog", "Eureka", "The Guild", "Supernatural" and a voice role as a PC companion in "Fallout: New Vegas"). She'll be playing Kinga Forrester, daughter of Dr. Clayton Forrester for the original 8 seasons KTMA-7. Comedians Hampton Yount and Baron Vaughn are the new voices of Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo, respectively. The projects pledge rewards that actually matter are as follows (there are many with simple swag crap and there are some really expensive ones two) as it stands: (Note: the have set up challenge goals where they will add classic episode downloads to all pledges $35 or more. One set of three has been unlocked already and another set can be unlocked if the project gets to $2.75 by noon Thursday) $35 gets you an HD download of the pilot of the new season (plus the classics) $100 gets you the full new season (however many epsiodes are made) $200 gets you the full new season on disk (choice of VHS or DVD) $250 gets the above, with the pilot on VHS! |
