THE VENTURE BROS. Creators Pull Out of Comic-Con, but Here's a New Clip From the Movie
With The Venture Bros. movie coming out later this month, there was a big Comic-Con panel planned and it’s one of the panels that I was really excited to attend because I’m sure a big fan of the franchise, and I’ve been looking forward to the movie.
Well, It was recently announced that The Venture Bros. creators Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick will not be attending the event due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Doc Hammer shared a statement with fans on Instagram saying:
"There I was, tickets to San Diego (that I purchased myself) in pocket, stupid tuxedo I bought ready to go, bags packed with pins and swag for fans, all but out the door to promote our movie at Comic Con. Then… SAG•AFTRA goes on strike. Heart breaks into pieces — twice.
"I don't make the choice to stand by my union, for there is no choice. I stand with our actors and our union because we are one. A strike hurts, and is done as a last resort. To sit back and go on strike when you've nothing to lose, everything to gain, and watch others bleed for you while you accept the fruits of their suffering is just… just… No. But now I've everything to lose… Heart breaks for the third time. This is one of those moments in adulthood that tell you who you are. I just found out that I am a worker that cares for, and stands with his fellow workers.
"I'll suffer with them and do so because what SAG•AFTRA is asking for is important. We truly appreciate all of you so much. Jackson and I made something just for you, but we stand proudly with our union's bigger picture, and have therefore pulled out of Comic Con. We owe you a thousand warm hugs, and apologize to anyone who planned on meeting us. We will meet someday, and that's a promise. We love you."
So that sucks. But, We do have a new clip to share with you from The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is The Blood Of The Baboon Heart, which will bring the franchise to an end. It’s so sad that this beloved animated franchise is ending and the creators aren’t going to show up to Comic-Con to talk about it. Super bummed!
The clip features a meeting of various members of the Guild of Calamitous Intent, including the iconic character Dr. Mrs. The Monarch. Check out the clip below!
In The Venture Bros.: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart, “a nationwide manhunt for Hank Venture leads to untold dangers and unexpected revelations, while The Monarch is literally out for Dr. Venture’s blood. An imposing evil from the past reemerges to wreak havoc on the Ventures, The Guild, and even the Monarch marriage — it will take friends and foes alike to restore the Ventures’ world to order . . . or end it once and for all.”
The Venture Bros: Radiant Is The Blood Of The Baboon Heart is set to be released digitally on July 21 and on Blu-ray on July 25.
