Larry Blamire, the writer and director of 1950s-style scifi spoof, The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (2001), has a long-gestating project that sounds too good not to happen eventually. It’s one that he says has been with him since the 1980s, one that he keeps coming back to. He’d like to get the appropriate level of funding to be able to put it into production — and from the potential evident in his conceptual drawings, I’d love him to get the funds to do it, too.
The project is called Steam Wars, and it features gigantic steam-driven robots battling for sovereignty.

This project has got to be made!! It looks so freaking amazing!! The creator is a genius,and a fantastic artist too.I think that if this was made that it could be huge.Let’s hope that this does see the light of day.
I’ve got my steam-driven circuit boards crossed!
