I’ve mentioned off and on that I did some work (well, a lot of work) as a technical advisor on the Australian independent alternate history movie “Man Conquers Space.” This project started, at least for me, not long after the turn of the century. Issues of what I assume were the usual sort kept pushing the movie back and back; eventually I fell out of touch with the filmmaker, David Sander. In the past year or three I’ve made a handful of attempts at contacting him, to no avail.
And now, the website seems to have been dumped:
http://manconquersspace.com
It now pulls up a “godaddy” page letting you know that that domain is for sale. Additionally the Wikipedia page for it has been deleted.
Feh.
Anybody have details? I’ve found a few recent discussions here and there with people lamenting the fact that the movie seems to have evaporated. Some are hopeful that the intentional dumping of the films webpages down the memory hole indicate that it might have been picked up by a major studio, and they want full control, but that sounds like wishful thinking to me.
