Hugo-award-winning science fiction artist Frank Wu writes in with the astounding news that he's adapting his short film, "GUIDOLON The Giant Space Chicken DIRECTOR'S CUT" ("The long-awaited Director's Cut of GUIDOLON THE GIANT SPACE CHICKEN, about a Giant Space Chicken making a movie about a Giant Space Chicken.") as a feature film! He's spending the next three years on it, and the mightily talented Suzanne Rachel Forbes has posted her pre-production sketches to Flickr. Link to pre-production sketches (Thanks, Frank!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

The Snowden Principle

  • technogeek

    Having played Guidolon in a reading of the original script… Frank is a _warped_ individual, and I mean that as high praise.

    It’s brilliant, if absurdly meta. Reminds me of the finer points of Robot Chicken, assuming Robot chicken could hold a coherent plot for that long

    Explosions sound effects from Total Annihilation.

    Thanks so much for your kind words!
    Guidolon is the best, seriously- I encourage all peoples to check out Frank’s creation!
