MySpace video for Anathem
September 3rd, 2008
Here is an video that is on the William Morrow channel on MySpace, it was created by Seattle based filmmaker Brady Hall (and seems to have a catalog of Harper Collins projects), and the site links to the as of yet parked anathembook.com site. It is in a word its…interesting, I have watched 3 times and I am still scratching my head not really knowing how to take this. It is cool to see Anathem getting all this attention. But take a look for yourself, and let me know how you feel about it.
It looks like what the BBC or maybe SciFi Channel would do to Anathem; I am very afraid for what will happen with The Diamond Age. The casting of Erasmus is interesting as Neal doesn’t describe the Arbrans as multi-racial iirc.
See there is a “quality” about these that I can’t quite put my finger on…it just seems kinda sketchy huh? The fight scenes are pretty funny though.
