The people who brought us 1884 Yesterday’s Future, which Monty Python member Terry Gilliam had a hand in, released a teaser trailer for their new project earlier this year.
Ironchap, the Man of Steam looks to be a bucking adventure in a London rife with crime. The promotional teaser video is a musical number, presented on a stage of a theatre but is a cinematic presentation. It lasts around 3 minutes and shows the making of the Man of Steam armour featuring plated limbs, a large chimney stack on the back and a eye covering helmet with an amusing nose hole.

Ironchap looks to have a lot more substance to it and it’s supposed to be being made into a series or film of some kind. However, there’s little information on the æthernet. The name was trademarked in 2013 by the Director, but there’s no social media page, no website…
