Titanium Rain is a feature length “audio film” produced by the Audio Comics Company. It is an audio adaptation of the book, Titanium Rain, one of the most acclaimed (and controversial) graphic novel series in recent years. Scripted by the book’s author, Josh Finney, this audio drama remains completely loyal to the original to the material, yet offers new and expanded scene that were not in the printed version.

This production features a full cast of actors, a completely immersive sound design, and an original score composed by BBC soundtrack artist, Jonathan Sharp. Stylistically, Titanium Rain has been called a “revolutionary leap forward” in the audio medium. Unlike old-time “radio plays” of yesteryear, this production captures the full-scope and grandeur of a major motion picture.

What is SOPA?  The so-called “Stop Online Piracy Act”, a bill that if
passed will allow a handful of media conglomerates to censor the web
how ever they see fit.  That’s right, if passed the likes of Viacom,
Disney, and Fox Entertainment will have the right to block websites on
mere “suspicions of piracy”.  No actual piracy needs to have occurred.
No proof, no court order, nothing. If one of these companies sees
something they don’t like (or want to shut down a web-based
competitor) they can just pull the plug with no burden of proof on
their part.  So far only a few of countries in the world impose this
kind of rigid control over the web –chief amongst them being China
and Iran.  Clearly SOPA must be stopped. To that end January 18th,
2012 will be the largest internet protest in history. Thousands of
sites across the internet, including some of the biggest in the world,
will be blacking out and directing people to contact Congress to kill
the web censorship bills.

November 5th saw Josh Finney and Kat Rocha (creators of Titanium Rain) in Portland ME to oversee the recording of the upcoming Titanium Rain Audio Drama with the very talented Audio Comics Company.

The Audio Comics Company is comprised of veteran actors William Dufris and Lance Axed as well as comic book veteran writer Elaine Lee of Starstruck and Vamps.

The following is the twitter excerpts from Josh and Kat while they were there.

  • It's quite an amazing thing to see talented actors apply their craft.
  • The cast selected by @audiocomic was damn near perfect. And the brit who flew out to voice Happy? This woman is going to be famous. Serious
     
  • One regret? I really wish Major Graves had more scenes because the actor @audiocomic got to play him took a handful of lines & MADE it art.
     
  • Well, at least Major Graves has a lot of scenes in book 2. Yes we are already discussing it as an audio drama.
     
  • Had a blast recording w/ the @audiocomics company. All true pros. Definately check them out if u haven't already
     
  • You can see Liz Knowelden, the actress who played Happy, in the zombie comedy "Last Man On Earth" with Avery Brooks & Robert Piccardo.

 

Josh went on to comment -
 

  • What was funny yesterday was teaching a group of actors the concept of the USMC chant "OOO-rah!" And they to starting using it constantly.
     
  • It was also amusing to see their reactions as I explained the unofficial motto of the USMC was "Yeah! Get some!"
     
  • Had to also explain it ALWAYS had to be "OOO-rah" and never "HOO-raw" because that mistake could get your ass kicked

The Titanium Rain audio drama is due out by second quarter of 2012.

Man against nature. Man against man.
The instinct to survive is what has made us who we are.

The AudioComics Company is excited to announce that they will be adapting the graphic novel series Titanium Rain as a full-cast audio theatre productions! The work will be adapted for audio by co-creators Josh Finney and Kat Rocha, and directed by AudioComics Company Co-Producer William Dufris.

Produced by 01Publishing and published by Archaia Entertainment, Titanium Rain is a sci-fi war epic set in the year 2031 where a civil war in China has escalated into a global conflict that has decimated entire nations and millions of innocent lives. And for many, like US Air Force pilot Alec Killian, survival in this new age means that man and machine must exist as one. In the spirit of films such as Ghost in the Shell and Blackhawk Down, Titanium Rain follows Killian’s journey through mankind’s worst, only to discover its best.

And you can be a part of this exciting project. By showing your support and donating to the production you can win free copies of the show, exclusive art prints, an invitation to be flown to the studio to attend a recording session and a chance to actually play the part of one of the pilots in a dog fight.

Furthermore, for every $1,000.00 raised, AudioComics Company co-founder Lance Roger Axt will donate 100 comic books from his personal collection to Operation Comix Relief, which sends care packages of comic books to our men and women fighting for our country overseas.
