Sci-Fi Show Slingers Causes Fan Frenzy on the Web
Over 50,000 views and 100's of blogs and comments appeared online after Warren Ellis, Duncan Jones and John Rogers drive support for new Sci-Fi TV show from Sleepydog.
London, United Kingdom, December 07, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Sci-fi show ‘Slingers’ has driven a fan frenzy on the internet after the sizzle (a type of trailer created for buyers) was found online.
The show, scheduled for production in 2010, was linked to by high-profile bloggers like award-winning comic book writer Warren Ellis, John Rogers (writer/creator of US hit TV show ‘Leverage’), and Duncan Jones (director of the critically acclaimed Moon), generating tens of thousands of views and 100's of comments across blogs and Twitter within 24 hours.
Positive response to the three minute teaser has been overwhelming with Ellis, who’s ‘Global Fequency’ is currently being adapted for TV and comic ‘Red’ is being made into a film starring Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman, announced ‘Slingers’ as “Your your new favourite TV show”.
Similarly Rogers blogged “What's that, Leverage fans? You like our show, but wish it had more robots? Slingers is coming your way!”
With fans desperate to find out when the show will be available and which networks will be screening, Toby Moores, CEO Sleepydog, could only confirm “Shooting for the pilot is scheduled for late 2010 and the advice from the networks we’ve spoken to has been to go straight to series”.
