Giant Trailer on the City Skyline

The MGR! trailer has been included in the programming loop airing on ADTV (Arena District Television) - a huge 31' 6" x 18' 3" light emitting diode (LED) video display. This massive screen broadcasts to the large plaza area in front of Nationwide Arena. If you're out on the town, be sure to look up when you hear kids talking robots!

Trailer Premieres at SciFi Marathon


On Saturday afternoon at the Arena Grand Theatre, approximately 400 marathoids saw the recently completed teaser trailer for MGR! Just before Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3D screened, I was handed the mic to set-up the preview. The projection and sound were great, filling most of the 65 foot screen and booming over the THX sound system.

This was the 21st Annual Ohio 24 Hour Science Fiction Marathon and featured special guests Phil Tippett and Sandy Collara. Phil has been nominated for 6 Academy Awards, winning for his Visual Effects on Return of the Jedi and Robocop. He premiered his directorial debut, Starship Troopers 2, while Sandy presented his short film Batman: Dead End. Both Phil and Sandy now have copies of the MGR! trailer on DVD and were very encouraging.

Here's the MGR! ad that ran in the Marathon program - special thanks to the event organizer, Bruce Bartoo.
