"Slingers" Trailer (VIDEO): Amazing Trailer For Ocean's 11-Style Science Fiction Show

I would like to make a personal appeal to any readers with connections in the television industry: let's get this show on the air! The trailer for "Slingers," a show that has yet to be made, is awesome and extremely well done. Scifi Wire describes the concept well: "Firefly-meets-Mad Men with an Ocean's 11 plotline."

The trailer was written by Mike Sizemore and directed by Steve Barron. They hope to shoot the pilot in 2010. We'll be keeping an eye on this one.

I'm not sure I see the attraction. A casino in outer space, with guys running around shooting at each other with what looks like 20th/21st century guns with stressalyzers, with pretty toy women for the geeks in the audience. I think a decent extrapolation of what things might be like 253 years from now might come up with something more fantastic than this.

Looks like it was briefly alluded to in Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

Hot hot hot!
But it's Steve Barron, not Mike Barron.
And Mike Sizemore is Mike Atherton. @Sizemore is his Twitter name.
