In November, the creative minds of Mystery Science Theater 3000 launched a kickstarter in the hopes to relaunch this classic series and the loyal cult of the series have answered their call. In a short period of time the original goal was met and new information for the relaunched series was announced.

As the new goal points were reached, Joel Hodgson would reveal the exciting possibilities that would be coming to the relaunch of the series and these were stated as possibilities, since Joel would say nothing could be set in stone until the kickstarter was finished. These announcements have been exciting to say the least and have revealed the new members of the cast; such as Jonah Ray as the guy launched into space and Felicia Day as Kinga Forrester, who is the daughter of MST3k original mad scientist Dr. Clayton Forrester. Also, in another piece of classic offspring news, Patton Oswalt has been announced to step in the role of TV’s Frank’s son and will be stepping in the role of TV’s Son of TV’s Frank.

Now, with all of that excitement out of the way, it is time for the important information and this kickstarter is in the final stretch. The goal is to reach the proper amount to produce 12 episodes and there is under 6 days left to meet that goal, so PLEASE go to their kickstarter page by CLICKING HERE and help reboot something that deserves to be rebooted.

Last year marked the 20th anniversary of this movie and for the longest time, this movie was at the top of my all-time favorite films. Over the past few years, Charlie Chaplin’s “The Great Dictator” has begun a battle for the top spot and it is a continuing war, but I will always have a special place in my heart for this dark classic.
This movie still has a dark cloud that continues to hang over it, but the true fans of this movie will never let their passion for this movie die.

So with that love and fondness, let’s take a look at the cast THEN (1994) And NOW..

Eric Draven was played by Brandon Lee. Lee was killed in a tragic accident, during production of this film and “The Crow” was his last role.

THEN

Brandon Passed Away In 1993

Sarah was played by Rochelle Davis. Davis was not credited in another role until 2009.

THEN

NOW

Sergeant Albrecht was played by Ernie Hudson. The last part of the scene in Albrecht apartment was ad-libbed and the “Believe me, nothing is trivial” line was not part of the script.
