The Mercury Men is a retro sci-fi web series with a noir flavor. Based on Christopher Preksta's earlier award winning short, "The Mercury Men" takes place in 1975 Pittsburgh where a low-level government bureaucrat finds himself trapped in his office building where the Mercury Men are staging their diabolical plot.
Influenced by classic hollywood noir thrillers, B-movie sci-fi and the adventure films of the 70s, the series utilizes a pretty amazing looking production design and new age special effects to create what looks to be a very original and exciting series.
According the the official blog, the series, consisting of ten seven minute episodes, is currently negotiating licensing and distribution, leaving the official release TBA.
