Legion M brought the Legion M Lounge to San Diego Comic-Con this year. One of the highlights of the Lounge occurred on Friday as the Lounge filled up for the Mandy event.
The lounge was packed by the time Paul Scanlan got up to introduce the sneak peek Mandy footage brought to SDCC by Legion M. I doubt we could have squeezed any more people in by the time the footage started and to say the room was enthralled may be an understatement.
Before viewing this footage if you had asked me if I would go see Mandy I would have been on the fence. But having seen this footage makes me want to see more, though it may leave me wondering what I had just watched.
What is Mandy? It is the upcoming Heavy Metal Revenge Fantasy film starring Nicolas Cage directs by Panos Cosmatos with a soundtrack by Jóhann Jóhannsson.
“Pacific Northwest. 1983 AD. Outsiders Red Miller and Mandy Bloom lead a loving and peaceful existence. When their pine-scented haven is savagely destroyed by a cult led by the sadistic Jeremiah Sand, Red is catapulted into a phantasmagoric journey filled with bloody vengeance and laced with fire.”
From Cheddar Goblin Mac & Cheese to Bloody Lemonade, friends new and old, Mandy movie props to music and images from the movie, even red tinted windows to add to the general Mandy ambiance, the Legion M Lounge was the place to be Friday of SDCC18.
