Cable to get a Fan-Made Live Action short film

by

on

UK Independent film group, K&K Productions are currently in pre-production on a ten minute short film based on Marvel’s Cable.

After the runaway success of Deadpool, many fans (including ourselves) were left wanting to see Cable get the live-action treatment. With well over a year until Deadpool 2, Cable Chronicles of Hope may just be here to fill that void.
.
“We are two brothers (Harry and George), who run a production company called K&K Productions. We are producer/directors with a passion for viral videos, short films and promo work, both online and for Television. We have developed a niche in high action, VFX driven content and have got to work on some amazing projects over the last few years. We also run a successful YouTube channel under the same name and have over 40 million views on our videos. Want proof?! Check out a short montage of our work below.”

What is most important here, is that the entire K&K team are huge comic book geeks, the two brothers having both grown up on comics of all types while still being readers today. Should put some at ease, considering the fact that films these days have a tendency to hinge on success based on whether or not the production team actually knows, appreciates, and values the source material.

“Having previously made short films about Batman, The Flash and other heroes, we are now turning our attention to one of our favorite Marvel characters…CABLE! This amazing character has yet to be showcased in live action and we think it’s about damn time! With still well over a year until we see him appear in Deadpool 2, we thought we would wet your appetite with a ten minute short film based on our favorite cable story line ‘The Second Coming’. This will mean some of your favorite characters will appear, including Hope Summers and X-Men’s Nightcrawler in a hugely action packed short.”
.

Second Coming was the final part of a trilogy of stories that began with Messiah Complex and continued in Messiah War. In this story almost the entire mutant population has been wiped out, with no new mutants being born. Until Hope comes into the world. She is the mutant Messiah and the man put in charge of keeping her alive is Cable!

K&K really wants to make sure that their characters are treated with the respect they deserve, with a high-level of focus on the short film being as high-end as possible. The Second coming is such a great story, it was important that it be told in such a specific way, by fans who appreciate the character(s). As this is a passion project, they have already invested their own funds to get things started, but they do need a little help from Cable fans complete the project. This is why they have started an IndieGoGo campaign, which you can check out the campaign video below.

They have taken the time to create some perks that they truly believe fans of comics and the character alike will love, including posters, t-shirts, hoodies, producer credits, set visits, and props from the film! So by contributing you will not only help them get the film made, but receive a piece of the project itself as well!

With a diverse cast, and a dedicated production team, this is one film project you may want to consider jumping on board with, as of this moment, it seems far beyond promising.
