Darth Vader battles Gandalf in new series from Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia

Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia is set to appear in and co-produce Ultradome, a new scripted Web series in which warriors from sci-fi’s most popular franchises settle hypothetical disputes in a special-effects showdown.

“My whole life has been spent engaged with friends in intellectual debate … like whether Captain Kirk is tougher than Spock or if Middle-earth is a more difficult place to live than Tatooine,” Ventimiglia said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “With Ultradome, we can bring these debates to the public and settle them in the most logical way possible: through armed combat.”

In each three- to five-minute episode, two characters engage in a heated debate—”Who’s tougher, Harrison Ford as Han Solo, or Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones?”—then are transported to a stadium where the duo engage in single combat using all the weaponry, skills and pop-culture touchstones from their respective heroes’ creative arsenals.

The concept is similar to Spike TV’s new series Deadliest Warrior, which reconstructs hypothetical matchups between, for instance, a samurai and a Viking. Only Ultradome is played for laughs with pop-culture-driven battles and shows fans fighting instead of trying to re-create the iconic warriors themselves.

Milo Pokes Fannish Fun with Ultradome

by Cynthia on May 5th, 2009

Could Harry Potter beat Neo at a fight? Is Tatooine a harsher place to live than Middle Earth?
Captain Kirk vs Captain Jack Sparrow — you decide.

It’s these kinds of questions that keep Heroes’ star Milo Ventimiglia (seen here with a furry friend at the Fanboys premire) up at night and now he’s found an outlet! Milo and his team at DiVide Pictures are teaming up with Agility Studios to produce Ultradome, a tongue-in-cheek, short-format digital video series that taps into the comic book, video game, action-adventure, fantasy and science-fiction culture.

Each episode begins with two characters involved in a heated pop-culture debate (shades of The Big Bang Theory) when suddenly they’re transported to the Ultradome to battle it out with weapons and magics taken from the worlds they’ve been arguing about.

Lightsabers against Harry Potter’s wand? A phaser up against Wonder Woman’s golden lasso? Nothing is off limits inside the Ultradome - and creative and casting possibilities are endless, as Ventimiglia and Agility plan to use connections to sci-fi enthusiast actors, writers and directors to build a bevy of high-profile cameos and cinematic visual effects.

“My whole life has been spent engaged with friends in intellectual debate . like whether Kirk is tougher than Spock or if Middle Earth is a more difficult place to live than Tatooine. With Ultradome, we can bring these debates to the public and settle them in the most logical way possible: through armed combat,” said Ventimiglia. “We’re very excited to be working with Agility on this series and to tap into their expertise in digital programming.”

The Ultradome pilot episode, “Star Wars vs. Lord of the Rings,” is currently in post-production, and additional episodes are slated to follow.
