Swashbuckling action and monsters greet a 1920s explorer in Pirates of Venus. Tiny production company Angelic Pictures is prepping a movie adaptation of the lesser-known Edgar Rice Burroughs, and the movie site has incredibly cheesy/awesome concept art. (This pic shows the Targotree monster.) Keeping the 1920s time period is a bold move, and this could be a direct-to-DVD instant classic. [Austro-Athenian Empire]
