The Return of MST3K! Sort of!

Holy flurking schnit! According to Fark and other sources, key members of MST3K are reuniting for "Cinematic Titanic" -- Trace Beaulieu, J. Elvis Weinstein, Frank Conniff, Mary Jo Pehl, and Joel Hodgson. According to Hodgson, he's decided "to do a new project that is strong enough for our die-hard audience, and also gentle and easy to swallow for those that are new to movie riffing."

The series intends to, like MST3K, use silhouettes; in the case of Cinematic Titanic, however, the configuration of the silhouette will look similar to that seen in the Cinematic Titanic logo. Host segments will play a part, but will not be as integral to each show as they were to the prior series.

Releases will be available to purchase in a number of formats including DVD, a download to be burned to a DVD, web streams, and flash players (including mobile phones), with subsequent releases coming on a monthly basis. Twelve titles have been licensed so far. The first episode should be available soon.
