MST3K Revival (Kickstarter)
 

"Crow Funding. I do like the cut of my jib"

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...e7d6d-89053165

As I said on Facebook, I'm not sure how I feel about this. I love MST3K, but at the same time, it had a great ending. I'm hoping the new host and scientist will add something new and a reason why there should be a revival instead of feeling like an imitation. (Which I'm getting that vibe from the Robots' new voices.)

I still hope for the best and will support it at the last hours if I have money to do so!

What I want to know is what happened to Jim Mallon. Does he have any connection to MST3K anymore? Did he sell the rights? He's just as demonized by the fans as Peter Laird. ^_^; (Though Mr Mallon did do some things that rightly warranted the resentment...)

This is awesome. I've been enjoying Rifftrax in the meantime but I am 100% behind this coming back.

I donated 10 bucks and every fan should donate 10 or 20.

I would love to see them riff Loch Ness Horror or Piranha 2.

I'm on the fence, but mostly looking forward to this.

81% funded

How did they get 81%? It's way past funded. Like, doubly so.

EDIT: Never mind, they want the full season.

They won't get the full 12 episodes tho but they did manage to get enough for 9.

Here's who they have working on this

-Wayne White (Peewee's Playhouse)
-Pendleton Ward (Adventure Time)
-Rebecca and Steven Sugar (Steven Universe)
-Guy Davis (frequent Guillermo Del Toro collaborator)
-Frenden (graphic artist)
-Joshua Pruett (Phineas & Ferb)
-Gary Glover (artist)
-Marty Baumann (Toy Story 3, Big Hero 6)
-Brett Bean (designs for Nickelodeon, Disney, etc.)
-Steve Vance (artist who does the little posters that come in those Shout Factory MST3K boxsets)
-Adam Savage (Mythbusters) will be onboard as a practical effects consultant
-Grant Bacoccio and Russ Walco (Jim Henson Company) will be working on puppets

And that's it. Not only is this the most funded kickstarter film project in history, but we're getting 14 brand new episodes!

Today is the first day on production of the new episodes

Season 12...depending on how you look at it...is live on Netflix.

Season two trailer

They need a million dollars per every 3 episodes of MST3k? Bullsh**.

And wasn't "Rifftrax" the evolution of MST3k anyway? Did they just stop doing that or something?

Rifftrax is a seperate project from MST3K and has nothing to do with what Joel is currently doing, and they haven't stopped.
