Issue #3 - The Peril of the Heat Ray

Summer time. That's the hot one. And boy, is it hot!

Heat like this gets a little worrying when you're trying to make a film like Legion X. For a start, while it's as hot as it has been lately (I don't know the exact temperature, but my Andy Thermometer is saying 'UNBEARABLE'), there's absolutely no chance of filming scenes featuring our brave heroes in their full costumes. Why? Well, as you will soon see, Adam's costume in particular is not designed for hot weather! (That's Adam Lawson, playing the character of Hunter, for those of you not yet in the know!)

Today myself and Adam even went out to try to get one or two short, non-super-costume scenes done and found ourselves defeated by the heat. Two hours in a shady underpass later, we realised we probably weren't going to get anything done today.

So, yes. Production is slowing down a little because the weather's too much for us! We shall try to soldier on and do as much as superhumanly possible, but this sort of weather is going to lead to certain restrictions, one way or another. Which makes a project that's already incredibly big and ambitious that much harder to film.

But, pah! It will take more than this insidious sunshine to stop us!

Personally, I suspect it's Dr Doom  with a weather machine...
