Duck Dodgers Strikes Back Writer/producer Larry Doyle told SCI FI Wire that Warner Brothers is producing a series of new Looney Tunes theatrical shorts�including one featuring the character of Duck Dodgers�to build anticipation for its upcoming live-action/animated sequel film Looney Tunes: Back in Action. Duck Dodgers will appear in a short called Attack of the Drones, which will spoof many recent SF films. "You never do a direct spoof of anything, because it always looks too derivative, but there are things in there that you'll recognize from Men in Black and from Star Wars and from Star Trek and from The Matrix," Doyle said in an interview. "So there's all sorts of different things. It's an overall sci-fi spoof." The plot, however, does involve clones. "Daffy creates an army of robots based on himself to fight something, but the short isn't really about the fight, which ends very quickly," Doyle said. "It's about letting the robots loose after they've been victorious." Warners has not announced a release date for the Looney Tunes shorts. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
