MSN Entertainment partners with Agility Studios and Divide Pictures to present four webisodes

Posted by Shannon Blogs on Monday, January 25, 2010 9:27 AM

When uber popular movies, comics, and characters attract a mass following, the natural thing for fans to do is start taking sides and defending their beloved genres. Take Twilight for example. It’s so popular that you actually don’t have to have read Twilight to understand the question: Are you on Team Edward or Team Jacob? The debate is happening, fans are taking sides, and you can even search on Bing Shopping and find t-shirts for “team” supporters. And if you can’t pick between Edward or Jacob, join the hot debate on Superfans: Who’d win in a Harry Potter vs. Twilight faceoff?

 

But there are many other important debates that span years of pop-culture genres, and nobody knows this better than Milo Ventimiglia. He and his best friend and producing partner, Russ Cundiff, have set the stage for these hot arguments to be settled, once and for all. Milo and Russ teamed up with Agility Studios to produce the new Web series Ultradome, a genre-busting battle royal that launches exclusively on Parallel Universe today. It takes on topics like: Which is the badder bounty hunter, Boba Fett or Dog The Bounty Hunter? Or: Who would win in a battle between the Stormtroopers from Star Wars and the Agents from The Matrix? Check out the trailer below to catch a glimpse of what’s to come.
