Milo Ventimiglia Takes You To The ‘Ultradome’
Video: Ultradome Episode 1: ‘Star Wars’ vs. ‘Lord of the Rings’
Heroes‘ Milo Ventimiglia is beloved by fangirls and fanboys all over, but did you know he can geek pretty hard in his own right? Witness: Milo’s new web series Ultradome. The series answers age old questions like, “Who would win?” (as in, Batman or Spider-Man?) “Who’s hotter?” (Princess Leia or Trinity?) “Who’s stronger?” (Superman or The Hulk?).
The series launched last week on MSN’s Parallel Universe. Milo talked a little with the website about his new show.
On Ultradome‘s origin story:
Actually, it came to lightsabers. Russ [Cundiff], my producing partner — we got a couple of lightsabers from Lucasfilms and we made some small videos where Russ and I are battling one another with our lightsabers. I mean, totally low-fi, there’s no effects. Two big kids playing with lightsabers. And we sat down with Agility [Studios] and the idea just kind of germinated where it wasn’t just lightsaber battles but what we’re actually taking geek culture and pop culture and we’re kind of mashing that all together in a battle to the death. So once we had the initial idea, then we discussed the potential and possibility of what these battles would be and it grew into what is “Ultradome” now.
On the “Who’s cooler/better/faster/stronger?” tradition:
That’s the thing. We’ve all had them. Can’t tell you how many conversations I’ve had about Klingons vs. Wookiees or anything like that…I mean, it seems like one of those reoccurring themes that happen all the time so why not have a platform? Why not have an actual Ultradome?
On his ultimate fantasy match-up:
Man, I’ve got a list of about 40 and we keep thinking up new ones all the time. I would love to see Dog the Bounty Hunter go up against Boba Fett. In an efficiency world, how about a Tauntaun vs. a Prius? It’s all over the place and there are no rules to it, which is the great part.
