    Pit & The Pendulum busts loose in Bristol, UK!

    Finally! The Bristol International Comics Expo is going down this weekend, May 9-11 in Bristol, UK! If that weren't enough, The Pit and the Pendulum short film will be on the screens at the Bristol International Comics Expo Film Night '08! (Say that a few times fast- it's a workout). Lots of very cool films of all manner make the evening one not-to-miss, so get your silly selves out to Bristol, check in at the Ramada and have a great time at the fest Film Night, sponsored by the wonderfully creative folks at Orang Utan Comics Studio- brilliant stuff there, and they're friendly, too. Don't forget to fill a seat at the 'Swinging with The Orang Utans' panel...sure to be a real hootenany. Bring your plastic bananas. For the lowdown on the weekend, check out the Comic Expo main page - and for a taste of what's all planned for the happy bunch that manage to get there, here's a little somethin' somethin' to slake your curiousity: Held on May 9th at 6pm at the Ramada Plaza Hotel in Bristol, this year's Film Night will be bigger and better than ever. So far we are pleased to announce the - UK Premiere of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Tears Of The Dragon, the largest Tomb Raider fan film ever to be created. Hailed as "what the Hollywood version should have been", this film is brilliantly written and directed, action packed and full of adventure! A must see for any fan of the games, or a good action flick - first ever 'Ray Harryhausen Presents' production; the legendary visual effects creator, animator and producer presents The Pit And The Pendulum, a stock motion animated short based on the Edgar Alan Poe classic - first episode of Revelation, an independent anime production from D7 Studios which features awe-inspiring animation (especially for such a low budget), a gripping science fiction setting, and an apocalyptic plot of Biblical proportions! Entry is FREE (yes, it's true!), and the first 100 people through the door on the night will also receive a Goody Bag from hosts Orang Utan Comics, sponsored by Forbidden Planet London! Be there or be squared and quartered! Have at you- and cheers! M.
