Juliet Landau (Precious of Naught for Hire), G.B. Hajim and an allstar voice cast create a 'dreamscape [film], one that does not shy [away] from the ugly, yet celebrates the beautiful.

Inspired by anime, manga, bande dessinee, and comics, the animation is hand-drawn, airbrushed, and composited together in such a way that will make you forget, or at least find cold, any CGI animated work".

The allstar cast includes actors from Firefly, Farscape, Star Trek and even The Rocky Horror Picture Show. How about that?

Check out a full review of the film at Twitchfilm.com.

Even though Naught for Hire has yet to be made, there is fan made merchandise hitting the fan circuit.

First there were postcards and business cards created by us, The Agency. Next same some homemade Nick Naught action figures and now there is the Nick Naught plushie.

The plushie is the idea of the ever creative Ben Browder fan Sprite Lady. While we are referring to it as merchandise, this item can not be found for sale (drat!).

Ben Browder. Doctor Who. What do they have in common?

Well, for one thing, Ben is a Doctor Who fan and now, Ben will be on the third episode of Doctor Who's season seven which begins airing in fall 2012 according to the website Ben Browder Info.

The episode was shot in Spain and the UK. Entitled The Gunslinger, the episode theme is not surprisingly 'the Wild West'. A cyborg gunslinger runs amok in the sheriff's (Ben) town.

The BBC has released the official trailer for the episode.

Naught producer Jeffrey Berman sat down with Naught graphic artist Jason Moore of Midnight Oil Productions to talk about the business of writing.

In part four of Midnight Oil Production's series Jason and Jeffrey talk about writing, producing, adapting projects from novels and writing with a partner among other things. Check out the interview at Midnight Oil Production's website.

Ben Browder Info website reports that Ben is part of an interview series by artist Martin Firrell.

The metaSCIFI project by the artist will premier at BAFTA in London in September 2012. The project includes interviews with actors who have played characters in various science fiction TV shows or franchises - Farscape, Stargate, Star Trek, Firefly.

Full details about the project news can be found at Ben Browder Info.

Have you seen the Nick Naught action figures on Facebook? 

Do you want one too?

Well for now, you'll have to roll your own like the brilliant fans here did.

The figures showing up on Facebook are amalgams of at least two existing action figures: Stargate's Colonel Cameron Mitchell 12" action figure and The Spirit 12" action figure. You can buy both of these from Amazon.com.

Hey! What's The Spirit got that Mitchell doesn't? A black trenchcoat for one thing and a fedora for another. You'll need those for authenticity.

The Spirit's black pants are painted on. How do I get them onto Mitchell?

Well, obviously you can't so off to ebay you go. While you are at it, pick up a suit and tie and button-up shirt if you're going for realism. We found one vendor on ebay who sells a whole suit, shirt, tie and shoes combo for about what you'd pay for each action figure. Yeah, these things aren't cheap to make.

Who's got the gun? Neither one has a handgun so you'll have to go scrounging for one on ebay. There are lots of good action figure weapons dealers on ebay.

Shoes? Well, if you get long enough black pants they will cover the army boots that Mitchell is wearing. Looking for regular dress shoes? ebay. 

Once you've got your action figure together, post a picture of it on your Facebook feed or on the Naught Stuff wall on Facebook. also be happy to post it here and The Agency Facebook page.
