bostwick does research. - a web series!
Oh, WOW!
Adam Hall and Mildly Fearsome Films has definitely upped the moxie quotient on this kickstarter project! It was already pretty awesome that Doug Jones is one of the stars involved.
Who's he? Well, he's the guy you don't usually see out of make-up. You may know him better as both "Pan" and "Pale Man" in "Pan's Labyrinth", or "Silver Surfer" in "Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer" - or my favorites, lab assistant "Jonathan Wright" in "Sudden Death!" and "Abe Sapien" in "Hellboy" and :Hellboy II: The Golden Army". If you go here, you can see him with his golden Saturn from the Science Fiction Films Awards.
So, pretty awesome, right?
Well, hold tight to your seats, folks! Here's the latest scoop!

Very Exciting Announcement about who will play Dr. Rust & Dave
We couldn’t be more excited to make this announcement.
Literally.
Not possible.
We are very pleased to announce that Barry Bostwick will be joining the Research. cast as the fabulous “Dr. Rust.” We know you haven’t seen the series yet - but you will LOVE him.
LOOOOVE HIM!
Only if you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past 50 years or so would you not instantly know that name, that face. Barry is the owner of a beautiful Tony award, a Golden Globe, and a Courage Award. He’s played a president, a mayor, an All-American student, and a devil-may-care high schooler. Barry originated “Danny Zuko” in Grease and got his big break in film on “Rocky Horror Picture Show.” (can you see why we LOVE him!?) And TV fans will remember him as the hilarious bumbling mayor of New York in “Spin City.”
Not only is Barry an amazing actor but he’s an incredible person. We’re honored, we’re blessed to have him join us.
Check out his bio and allll of the amazing things he’s done on our CAST page. Thank you for joining us, Barry!!!
We're also pleased as punch to announce that we have cast Gabriel Diani as our lead researcher and the glue that holds together our crazy little team - "Dave."
Gabriel Diani works as an actor, comedian, and filmmaker in Los Angeles. He wrote, produced, and starred in the award-winning horror comedy "The Selling" about a real estate agent trying to sell a haunted house (coming to DVD/VOD in August), raised over $30,000 on Kickstarter to publish a new version of "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" that replaces the "n-word" with "robot" (satirizing attempts to make the book more palatable to modern audiences), and made the web series "Mary Olson" which has garnered over 1.3 million hits on youtube.
Videos and more information at http://DianiAndDevine.com.
He’s far too modest. “The Selling” has been reviewed all over the internet, attending more festivals than we can count, and has won several awards including Best Feature at the Friars Club Film Festival and at the LA Comedy Film Festival (along with 4 others...) Gabe was also honored with Best Actor & Best Screenwriting awards at that festival.
Yes. Wow. Please join us in welcoming him to the team!
Love,
The Research. Team
Please follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest and greatest as it happens!
Oh, you bet I will!
And now I know there will be singing in the webseries! How could they have Barry Bostwick and not make use of his vocal talent?
Oh, OH, O H!!!! I do sooo enjoy all things Bostwick!

research. - a web series
Hi, I'm Faustina and I'm a science nerd.
Hi, Faustina.
I must admit, the reason I'm here is because of my addiction to "Sudden Death!"
Er... okay. But you realize this project is not a musical, right?
Yes. Sadly. But I have hopes that a song or two may spring into existence along the way.
Yeah, I get you. A girl can dream.
Damn Skippy.
Damn Skippy!
So, now that that is out of my system, why am I investing a goodly chunk of money into this West Coast kickstarter project?
Weren't you listening??? I already told you: I want, need, MUST HAVE that special edition dvd of "Sudden Death!"!!! Ever since the Savannah Film Festival brought it to town in 2010, I have been hooked, craving more, more, MORE!!!
Pardon me while I straighten my clothes... and regain composure....
(deep breath)
Now, Adam Hall, who I saw in the queestion-and-answer session after the film screened on Tuesday, November 2, 2010, at 9:30 AM in the Trustees Theatre, right here in Savannah, Georgia - whew! - well, he's opened the funding doors for this dream of a webseries, opened those doors wide open, so folks like me can stroll on in and make ourselves at home, like big ol' producers. Nice, right?
AND.. get this, the webseries is going to be about scientists doing research about everything you ever wanted to know anything about ever. Sounds like fun to me!
And I'll get that special edition dvd of "Sudden Death!"!!!
And mad producer credits on each episode!
And that special edition dvd of "Sudden Death!"!!!
Of course, that will only happen if the project hits its funding goal. Which is in two days. And they aren't quite there yet.
But they have to succeed, they just have to!
Or how will I ever see "Sudden Death!" again?
I'll only have the promotional postcard from the film festival, the postcard that has graced my office wall ever since I saw the film.
That would be so very sad, now that I know the dvd is within my grasp.
Let me see if I can get some other folks to help out!
Later!
