ORANG UTAN COMICS ARE PROUD TO PRESENT THE OFFICIAL BRISTOL INTERNATION COMIC EXPO FILM NIGHT 2008

(presented without comment)

Held on May 9th at 6pm at the Ramada Plaza Hotel in Bristol, this year's Film Night will be bigger and better than ever.

So far we are pleased to announce the
- UK Premiere of Return Of The Ghostbusters, a full length "fan film" of the highest quality that sticks to it's roots, with enough techno-babble and humor to rival the original films themselves, and riveting special effects and plot that will leave you hanging on the edge of your seat, cheering on our heroes
- UK Premiere of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Tears Of The Dragon, the largest Tomb Raider fan film ever to be created. Hailed as "what the Hollywood version should have been", this film is brilliantly written and directed, action packed and full of adventure! A must see for any fan of the games, or a good action flick
- Soul Searcher, an independent film, that is an action packed, special effects filled fantasy adventure
- Back Issues, a hilarious independent film about a man who is forced to chose between his girlfriend and his dream of becoming a comic book letterer... "It’s me or the comics" is his ultimatum when he asks her to marry him... But which will he choose?..
- first ever 'Ray Harryhausen Presents' production; the legendary visual effects creator, animator and producer presents The Pit And The Pendulum, a stock motion animated short based on the Edgar Alan Poe classic
- the first two episodes of Witchblade, the action packed anime based on Top Cow's famous comic book from MVM Entertainment that will appeal to both fans of comics and anime, provided complimentary of our sponsors MVM Entertainment
- first episode of Revelation, an independent anime production from D7 Studios which features awe-inspiring animation (especially for such a low budget), a gripping science fiction setting, and an apocalyptic plot of Biblical proportions
- first ever The Spectre fan film directed by Sam Gardner
- a unique, utterly hilarious outing into a wonderful world... The Discworld. Run Rincewind Run! is a fan film made by the fans, for the fans, which even features a guest appearance from Terry Pratchett himself!

5PM Hypotheticals Helmed by Lee "Budgie" Barnett and Dave Gibbons, Hypotheticals returns for its NINTH year at Comic Expo. See Walt Simonson, Louise Simonson and Emma Vieceli transported to Earth-Dave and faced with hypothetical scenarios drawn from the comics industry headlines. Variously described as "must see..." and "riotously hilarious", it's best summed up by former panelist Mike Carlin's comment of "More fun than you should be allowed to have at a convention!"

basically you should go if you either abhor Amazon or like standing in line

"More fun than you should be allowed to have at a convention!"
