Evil Doers Beware ! its the Fabulous Phantom !

Wow !

To the Syfy Channel , where I used to love watching 'Dark Shadows' , and its the return of The Fabulous Phantom . This all new version of the classic comic , features Ryan Carnes in the role of Connor Saint James an interior stylist of his local ikea store in Ohio . While looking for a for a vase for particularly challenging window display , Ryan finds a ring and his true destiny is revealed to him .

I had actually forgotten that this movie was even being made , but here are some fabulous shots of the forthcoming mini series .

Twas All A Dream ?


Sadly for Ryan and I imagine a few Phantom fans , its not all a dream and you see that fabulous phantom costume creation in action on June 20 th , if your not watching the World Cup .

Hellfire ! Hollywoods love for Lycra !



Personally I never really know why studios feel the need to tamper with our hero's super suits , while other designers like Jim Acheson who designed the Spidey suit for 'Spider-Man' get it spectacularly right , others like Louise Mingenbach for Bryan Singers 'Superman Returns' get it spectacularly wrong with muted colours and one muscle compressing costume .I always think Superman's suit is what is, a classic like the Coke a Cola bottle , 'if it ain't brokedon't fix it' .
