Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia, who plays Peter Petrelli in the hit NBC show has been talking about his latest venture Ultradome.
Ultradome will be a web-based project which allows “geeks” to pit their favourite films or film characters against one another in hypothetical battles. It’s a similar concept to Spike TV‘s Deadliest Warrior where different combatants from throughout history are pitted against each other, like pirate versus medieval knight for example.
In Ultradome contestants will have the opportunity to test whether Darth Vader, for instance could beat Gandalf in a battle to the death. Ventimiglia is co-producing the web show with Russ Cundiff, and both producers are lined up to appear in the first episode where Ventimiglia will be backing the George Lucas franchise Star Wars against Cundiff’s favourite The Lord of the Rings.
Ventimiglia told The Hollywood Reporter:
“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. With ‘Ultradome,’ we can bring these debates to the public and settle them in the most logical way possible: through armed combat.”
Ventimiglia and Cundiff are hoping to launch their project this summer, and hopefully we might eventually answer that age old question ~ do you think Mighty Mouse could beat up Superman?
