While work on Strangers In Paradise: I Dream of You starts to reach its conclusion, the Ocadecagonagon Theater Works prepares to turn its attention to its next featured adaptation, an audio drama of the first storyline of Ron Randall's future noir Trekker.
Show runner Gene Hendricks, who wrote and will direct this three parter to be broadcast in the late summer, says, "I am really excited to be moving forward with Trekker. It's a great story and the talented people that have been cast will bring something special to the parts. We had such a wonderful group audition for the roles that it made my job really tough, but those are the best kinds of problems to have."
Playing Randall's iconic bounty hunter will be Amy Riddle, who is about to become a menacing presence as Tambi in SiP. Mercy's confidante and best friend Molly will be Femmie London, who plays the secret agent/martial artist Yuki in our feature presentation Death Code: Ninja and its upcoming sequel, Lightning Bolt Resurrection. Alex, Mercy's uncle and her police source, will be played by David Ellis, who floored people when he took over as David in Stranger In Paradise: I Dream of You. And playing Bolt, the Rigel agent whose path frequently crosses with Mercy, will be Jamil McKinley, one of our new recruits who you'll hear later this month in a lead role in Lightning Bolt: Resurrection.
"When 8TW came together surprisingly quickly, the intention has always been to explore and celebrate a wide variety of genres and tones," Creative Director Thomas Deja says, "and Ron Randall's unique mash-up of film noir, crime and sci-fi is going to be loads of fun for us to bring to life, and hopefully fun for fans of both Ron's series and audio drama in general! I cannot wait to hear the interpretations these actors will bring to these key roles, and I am really looking forward to the soundscapes our Sultan of Sound Design Chris Honeywell will come up with.."
Recording on Trekker will begin on May 30th. To continue following thia project, please visit us at 8TW.ninja
