(From the official website announcement) Atlantis Studios released today the official website and trailer for “Paula Peril and the Mystery of the Crystal Falcon”, a live action film starring Valerie Perez (Tears of the Dragon), Marla Malcolm (2001 Maniacs) and Ben Lamm (My Sixteenth Summer). This short film, the first in a new series of films based on the popular comic book The Adventures of Paula Peril, will be distributed exclusively through this website starting in January 2009.
In a plotline reminiscent of 1940s mysteries and cliffhanger serials, each film follows the adventures of Paula “Peril” Perillo, a sexy and determined investigative reporter who has a knack for getting herself in trouble. This time, a high society auction has been interrupted by the brazen theft of a strange artifact, and Paula and photographer Jimmy Smith team up to uncover the truth. Unfortunately, Paula’s beautiful rival Veronica Vilancourt is also after the story, and soon finds herself in the clutches of an ancient evil.
“Every film we have planned in this live action series are original, self contained adventures not found in the comic book,” says series creator James Watson, “We follow the overall story arc set out in the comic, but film allows us to explore the characters in new and compelling ways. What you see in these films impacts our development of the comics and vice versa.”
“The Mystery of the Crystal Falcon” is directed by Savvy Lorestani, and will be released initially for download only. For more information, visit www.atlantisstudios.net/paulaperil/movie
