Troll Bridge

[Who's Wee Dug]

Straight from the horses mouth Cohen's horse that is, just watched the latest version via Skype link at the IDWCON, with Daniel Knight et all. They have went back to the beginning and put in more details and it's looking good they also said it will be finished by next June. Of course that's only of interest to subscribers

From what I saw at Manchester, it looks like it will be worth the wait.

I think it was J.R.R.Tolkien who had a completed article that sat unpublished for twenty years while he postponed writing the introduction.

I see they have now sent out a Backerkit form . I got a little excited but June is still the probable date.

 

[Molokov]

I'm guessing the unofficial premiere will be at the UK Discworld Convention next year. (Official premieres will be at film festivals... Daniel's explained this to me - a lot of the festivals won't take your film unless it's a 'premiere'...)

UPDATE: Snowgum Films has just released their brand new Troll Bridge website with lots of beautiful new content: http://trollbridge.film

You can also now easily back the project (in case you want any of the rewards, such as a DVD) via that website.

email to ask for addresses etc, must be getting near to finalise things.

 

[Molokov]

It's more to move all backers (Wave 1, 2 and 3) to a single portal and collapse the information for people who backed more than once - there's still no firm date on the film's finish - they're still doing post-production, but showing off a brand new website is fairly good. It's been in the works for months - Daniel asked me for the Nullus Anxietas VI logo for the "Partners" page back in November, just before we launched our own website. It's great to see it finally launched

However, don't expect the DVDs/BluRays in your hands just yet...

Patience is a virtue

Got excited about that email too! Not that I'm really expecting to get anything soon, but I love the way they've kept in touch about the project. It was also a very nice surprise to see the extra credit for the Wave I backers!

 

[=Tamar]

I'm just hoping to live long enough... time's a-wasting. It's nice that they keep in touch, and the images look like it's going to be really good.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I'm hoping it will be out around this years Discworldcon or at least a full showing at the Con. ray:

 

[The Mad Collector]

I'm sure it will be shown at 'a con' sometime, just when is the question....

Last October: "they also said it will be finished by next June."
Sigh. They did say more recently that they weren't going to make any more predictions. It's sort of like reading a quest novel series in which the prophecy is open-ended instead of giving a deadline for the heroes to complete the quest. Every so often we get another fragment of the adventure...

 

[Molokov]

There's been (almost) weekly updates over the last few months - and although progress is slow, it *is* happening.
Mostly there's just a lot of post-production work and only a handful of volunteers currently working on it. For months now, they've been appealing for more volunteers so the only way for it to be finished more quickly is to find the people to do the work...

Don't forget *nobody* on this project is getting paid for it (part of the contract with Terry) so everyone's just doing what they can in their spare time between their actual day jobs.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Patience is a virtue, I'm sure it will be worth the wait.
