Spawn of Deborah
I see that the Serial Squadron is pushing forward with their production of The Mysteries of Myra, based on the shooting script of the lost serial. Though it is being made as a silent serial, it will be in monochromatic color and have a musical score. So it won’t be the homage to serials that Cliffhanger Productions’ King of the Park Rangers or Dangers of Deborah were. Still it is good to see new serials being made, and just because it’s a silent movie doesn’t mean that modern audiences won’t enjoy it, Captain Celluloid vs the Film Pirates (1966) is still the best of the independently produced serial homages made. I do have to wonder if the new footage Eric shot to cover the missing footage in The Masked Rider (1919) was a trial run to see if he could actually makke one on his own. I also wonder if he is having problems getting funds together as from what I can gleam from the Squadron’s message boards, Eric is doing the serial one chapter at a time, instead of fillming the whole thing and then editing it into a completed serial. Guess we will have to wait and see.
