    Lazytown Extra 2008 starting thread

    I've read it 2 dozen times just to make sure, but unless someone has hacked into his curriculum vitæ (résumé) and added this stuff, Lazytown director of photography, Tómas örn Tómasson is to begin TOMMORROW filming 26 new Lazytown episodes for tv.

    I read an entry in his blog ......... http://tomastomasson.blog.is/blog/tomastomasson/

    Lazytown is back!

    Well then it's time, Latibær to start again. These will actually be "mini" episodes, i.e. we would only approx. 6 minutes per episode. The plan is to make 26 such episodes, which will go by the name "Lazytown Extra". The shooting will start on March 3rd and will last until April 18th, so this is comfortably short. We are going to shoot on 3 Thomson Viper cameras and I will add 3 lenses to the lens collection that Latibær has. This means I will have all DigiZeiss lens types available except the 3.9mm. The point is that the shooting style and lens usage changes considerably by doing this on 3 machines; one is forced to rely more on narrow lenses. Sigvaldi Kárason will direct these episodes and Lísa Kristjánsdóttir will be the 1st assistant director. Her right hand will then be Davíð Óskar Ólafsson. Otherwise, it will be more or less continued by the same people.

    .... over a week ago mentioning "Lazytown Extra", but as it was in icelandic, so I was none the wiser, and was thinking of asking a certain someone on this board who is Icelandic to translate, but didn't get round to it. This news seems to confirm what he was on about.

    I am in a state of (pleasant) shock, but maybe someone can find more corroborating news before I get too over exicted and do something silly.

      No. I think I said there was no more episodes filmed after "Toys", and that was the last in THAT RUN we could expect to see, and I never said no more would ever be made. I believe I even said I hoped more episodes would be made. I think "insulted" is a bit strong - I was only giving the facts as they were at that time. "Po-po'd" would be better, but if anyone was "hurt", I apologise, but the truth does that sometimes.

      Anyway, thats all history.

            I didn't bother following the links, but I'll take your word for it.
            But only because someone would've called you out by now if it wasn't true.

                    Hmmmm... I'm skeptical, but I'm hopeful too. I hope we really do get 26 new eps. And if you folks over the pond don't hook us Amerifags up, there will be blood O_O

                          As far as I can tell he says something in the blog about "mini" and "only 6 minutes". At first I thought he might be referring to the LazyTown mini workouts, but the post date suggests otherwise.

                              http://community.livejournal.com/lazytown/635807.html because I'm too lazy to reformat HTML to BBS tags.

                              I'd say this confirms that stuff is in the works. Will they finish the project without Magnus as the director, pushing things through to completion? We'll see.
