Poster Reveals Actor's Name, EIC Gets Free Bowl of Soup When First Bowl Has No Chicken In It

At a press conference held Sunday afternoon at the Miracle Pictures studio lot, producer Marlowe revealed the poster for his upcoming Christmas film, A Short Protest. On the poster, the name of the "talent-to-be-announced" is shown.

"To some folks it was obvious, I guess" the studio chief proclaimed. "Like that Ritichie Steven guy. Instead of allowing us to build anticipation, he blurted out Chris' name. To pay him back, I'm going to let everybody in on the ending of a movie coming in 2010 from the Flips. Are you ready? Superman wins. There. I hope RS realizes that spoiling can go both ways now!"

Former HTG city leader Chris Harmer was the first choice to lead A Short Protest, according to Marlowe.

"He's an everyman. He's featured in each of the shorts, which ranges from action to science fiction to drama to offbeat comedy. If anyone call pull off a variety of roles, it's Chris Harmer. He wasn't cheap, I can tell you. But I think that he's worth every nickel.

"In fact," continued Marlowe, "we're having difficulty coming up with a final genre for the movie's cost. We'll probably settle on action, only because it's a higher cost production value. Making it one of the cheaper ones doesn't seem right."

Mr. Harmer was not reachable at press time to express thoughts on this new venture. One of HTG Hollywood's most prolific talents, he has worked with Marlowe before in Tales of Terror and Suspense and HTG TV's Adventures of Robin Hood.

"It's our holiday blockbuster" Marlowe concluded. "We hope everyone gets into it as much as we did making it."
