Anno Frankenstein - 6 days to go

When I started plotting Anno Frankenstein in detail last year, I was inspired by early promotional pictures of Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch, showing the heroines Baby Doll, Sweet Pea, Blondie, Rocket and Amber in all their fetishistic glory.


As a result I created the Monstrous Regiment who play an integral part in the proceedings (but who aren't so objectified as the girls are in Sucker Punch*).

I didn't actually get to see Sucker Punch until earlier this week, the same day that my author copies of Anno Frankenstein appeared in the post, as it happens. So imagine my delight when during the map sequence in the movie our heroines go up against steam- and clockwork-powered zombie Germans, which is not dissimilar to what happens to the Monstrous Regiment in Anno Frankenstein.

If you've not seen the movie yourself, feast your eyes on this animated short.




* At least I hope not!

Anno Frankenstein - the movie?

Before you get too excited, no it's not. What it is, in fact, is the new animated short film 'The Trenches' that gives us an insight into part of the forthcoming Sucker Punch movie. But seeing this - especially the bit where the dead soldiers are brought back to life - I could almost believe I was watching the Prologue to Pax Britannia: Anno Frankenstein.



Pax Britannia the movie? We can but dream...

Sucker Punch

Giant robot samurai? Fire-breathing dragons chasing World War II aircraft? I for one cannot wait...
