"Transmetropolitan: On the Stump" Scene

[Lathers]

My god, the president's shat himself!

[AlexGGraves]

They've been trying to make it a film, they just don't have the cash or wanted actors yet. They want Tim Roth to be Spider, but no choices for the Smiler, filthy assistants or most other characters. This, however, is pretty much how I imagined my hero Spider sounding.

[Triciamanntrololo]

That was reem, I wish that someone would turn the graphic novel into a film!

[brunomocsa]

tks for that

[TheStanley1000]

Not bad,but not excellent either...unfortunately,the choice of spider is not convincing at all....all the rest is brilliant,shots properly....beast is magnificent .....but not enough tension....i will keep on eye on that work tho....keeps me interested..............

[atheistbiker]

Not bad overall. Good camera work, nice shots. The Beast was excellent, though Spider needs a little voice work (try mimicing Hunter S. Thompson, the inspiration for Spider). And shave that fucking head, for fucks sake!

[Logoispermatikoi]

Good acting. Spider scare me.

[XianHaos]

I was overjoyed to see this. my only critique is - in reference to Spider; less Bill Compton, more Hunter S. Thompson.

[0TripleHelix0]

"HEEELP! THE PRESIDENT'S SHAT HIMSELF!"

[LolibyeHermit]

No, Why is everyone saying this is great........it kinda sucks, it doesn't have the feel of the comics at all. This has the feel of some shitty 'roid fueled pysdo masculine 80s prime time cop drama! Where is the insanity, the drugs, the mechanical acid infused ecstasy like glee of the comics, the goddamn humor that made them great? Is everyone here so covered in their own sticky ooze over this comic that they cannot see that all things related to it are not awesome?

[jtaske02]

Very nice. More please... I beg you!

[waltcms]

bad ass...good acting.

[DasHinchen]

Shave your head!!! This is essential.

Still....

just playing Jerusalem makes you a lubricant on legs.

call me.

[HAhaUDied13]

Ever Think of doing more?

[linkjc75]

Spider looks like he's trying way too hard to capture the edginess that should just be natural. It really shows and detracts.

[knucklehead03]

Prez does a good job, but Spider was not quite right. He's got the bitter anger, but none of the maniacal glee that makes the anger fun to watch in the comic.

[JTC390]

Any ANY president doesnt even fukin sneeze without a LEAST 10 security guards around him/her Little privacy my ass nice try...

[ThrobbingEgo]

@JTC390 The secret service went private and The Beast couldn't afford to pay them.

[raziel20k]

the only thing Spider is missing is a bald cap

[Ablethe7]

RECTAL PROLAPSE

[Alekx]

I think you're missing his slight spazzy-ness, but other than that I really enjoyed it!

Read this issue the other day and loved it.

Spider is the best. Is missing out on the "Help! The president's shat himself!"

Haha.

[hideHYDEimcoming]

who cares about the fucking hair! i care about image as much as the next facebook slave but honestly i dont think it really affects the story line do you?

[Bastardoom]

give me me those glasses, NOW.

[Chrisbajs]

With a bald head, this wouldn't be utter crap.

[sublime1176]

This is pretty cool! Hows about the chair leg of truth scene next?

[gi50192]

Incomplete without someone screaming "Help! The president's shat himself!"

[leapoffaith20]

Jerusalem has a southern accent?

Nah!

[garay92]

What was this filmed on?

[123Widowmaker]

Shouldve cut the hair.... but stil good, you play him well

[Kanezeran]

awesome just make him bald

[Lortagreb]

Shave off the hair vain bastard

[TylerMcManus1]

"Prolapse."Love that fuckin' word.

[FancyAlien]

Nah, not how I expected him at all. He needs to be more sporadic, hyper, angry, and on edge.

[TylerMcManus1]

@FancyAlien Damnright,pal!Spider's the wee psycho kid we all have inside. XD

[MaLLinz289]

Pretty good adaptation. Would've loved to have seen the part where Spider leaves smiling and the guards go "Help! The President's shat himself!"

[leonel1993]

If the guy playing Jerusalem had shaved his head, he would have been Spider incarnate.

Great.

[jElLyBeaNPP2]

My favorite comic book. I love the costume. Wish I could've pulled it off this past halloween. Danm my XX chromosomes, why was I born with tits? Haha.

[tybaltx]

@jElLyBeaNPP2 why not be one of the Filthy Assistants?

[jElLyBeaNPP2]

@tybaltx Because I want to be the ultimate asshole. BAHAHAHAHA!!!

[HoorayForPineapples]

the grin at 4:43...perfection. You nailed it, dude.

[GnevReLoaD]

мде...нормально даже воссоздать не смогли

[Crysee61191]

awesome. you guys should do some more scenes. this is quite enjoyable to watch.

[BoredLadySeion]

What I wouldn't do with a bowel disruptor.... you're awesome, man.

[Javer80]

It's all so . . . Savannah.

This Peracchio really does play a pretty fucking chill Spider, though.

[PatrickTheScienceGuy]

awesome!

[HAhaUDied13]

WIN!

[martinblank83]

shave your head.commit or fuck off

[ElfHybrid]

What? You've only done this one scene of Transmet? :O Duuuuuude! :((

(the nerd in me has to admit this; - I knew each word,every line as they were spoken. The sweet final dialogue." "Loose. Watery. prolapse." And such a spidery grin :D

[ElfHybrid]

shave the head,and do it again.

(or else it gets the hose again)

seriously. Without shaven head,I still love it,but I would effing worship you if you shaved the head.

[LittleMissWhaleFail]

you do play Spider J well, shave your head, work on the drawing of the tat on your hand and you'll be great.

[Aaronlm91]

Awesome stuff!

[backwoodsninja]

You play Jerusalem well. Cut that hair and you even have the look. Great vid.

[saikyoryu]

Man, Spider has a way with words.

[Crysee61191]

wow! This was great! Is this the only scene done or is there more?

[neopostretro]

Oooh my. Two of my fav lines from Transmet, "peeled, salted, etc." and "loose, watery, prolapse". There is some things wrong with this, but many things that are right and the music is perfect. The thing I caught the most was the change in pacing and particularly that Spider makes much more eye contact with the Beast than in original where he was lighting up another cig. And I would have liked more "wired"-ness from Spider. But overall, great job!

[loveableterror]

@neopostretro I think the only scene they could have done that would have been better is Spider beating fred christ with his "chair leg of truth"... possibly one of the best issues in the series

[neopostretro]

@loveableterror I tend to agree. Problem is the make-up for Fred. Transients are transient without, at least, the Vilnius alien eye. These are the two most visceral scenes that I can think of that show what Spider is about without needing a complicated set or FX. Another that would be interesting, from an acting standpoint, is where he is locked in his own head before he is told he has i-pollen cognitive disorder. (And for pure demented fun, there is always the Bill Chimpf*cker scene!)

[neopostretro]

@neopostretro Aaaiigh! Meant to type "Transients aren't transients".

[loveableterror]

@neopostretro Well, theres always a little latex makeup and a Vilinius eye broken off of those stupid alien sunglasses... hmmm i feel an obscure costume for the next comic con coming on

[neopostretro]

@loveableterror The prosthetics would be impossible but wouldn't it be cool to go as the Farsight Reservation spokesman, scare the crap out of people.

[FathChigaru]

This is much better than I expected it to be! I really like the approach taken on Spider, I'm just not sure if it's quite him. A very well-played character nonetheless. Good acting. More please. D:

[latenightloki]

Excellent!

[samo314159]

You couldn't have shaved your head?

[yourverysilly]

@samo314159 so for a 5 minute fan film you want him to suffer the indignity and abuse of such a radical hairstyle?

[Haplo699]

@yourverysilly I have that hairstyle and it's fricking awesome. :)

[rachadw]

Loved this video!!

[TeamVacaville]

I can't tell you just how thrilled I was a few years ago when I was just learning about YouTube search engine. I typed in Transmetropolitan on a whim and BAM! This awesome clip came up. Always great!
