Promo Spot for Mark Hamill’s POP CULTURE QUEST Series on Comic-Con HQ
Mark Hamill, who is best known as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars saga, is launching a pop culture digital series on Comic-Con HQ called Mark Hamill’s Pop Culture Quest. The actor will also serve as a producer on the series which is described as a documentary-style show featuring stories about passionate fans and their collections.
As you probably already know, Hamill is a big time collector of stuff like comic books, toys, lunch boxes, puppets, and artwork. He’s been collecting since the early 1970’s so he really passionate about this kind of thing. The actor said in a statement:
“I’ve been a collector all my life. This show is a natural outgrowth of that passion. Now I have an opportunity to collect other people’s collections! I can’t wait to see what’s out there and share it with the world.”
The idea for the series has been in development for about three years, and when talking about it Seth Laderman, general manager of Comic-Con HQ said:
“Passion is at the heart of all of our original series, with a goal to allow innovators like Mark the opportunity to create and bring their ideas to life.”
The series will start production later this month when Hamill is finished shooting Star Wars: Episode VIII. The series will premiere on the new Comic-Con HQ service this fall. You can watch a promo video for it below.
Comic-ConHQ.com is a venture between Comic-Con International and Lionsgate and is available for free. It will officially launch this summer on Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon’s Streaming Partners Program.
