WRATH OF THE TITANS - ALMOST READY

In just a couple of weeks we will sneak preview our WRATH OF THE TITANS, starring Alex Bookstein, J.T. Turner, and James Tallach. Coming in at just under two hours, this is going to be a lot of fun for listeners (the monsters are great), and producers Bryan Rothrock and Tom Stitzer have created some amazing effects. Jeffrey Gage and Deniz Cordell have written a wonderful score, and the cast did outstanding work. This show is certainly different for CRT, and we are already looking forward to doing the follow-up, REVENGE OF MEDUSA. WRATH OF THE TITANS is produced in association with Bluewater Productions, and will broadcast on Sirius XM Feb. 10, 17,24 and March 2. It will be released on CD Mar. 30th.

"Logan's Run" returns with an all new action-packed sequel, "Logan's Run: Aftermath." The Thinker is destroyed and the world is in chaos, but Logan wants nothing to do with it. But the world isn't done with him yet and when the lives of Jessica and his son Jaq are put in jeopardy, Logan must once again don his armor. LOGAN'S RUN: AFTERMATH continues Logan's epic journey as he races towards an uncertain destiny.


SINBAD - ROGUE OF MARS
He's sailed the seven seas and explored unknown lands, fought countless monsters and battled evil wizards, but Sinbad's newest adventure may be the greatest, and most dangerous, he's ever had!

Eight years have passed since the assassination of the benevolent Zhar Dadgar and the curious disappearance of his heir. Akhdar, Dadgar's villainous nephew, has usurped the Dozhakian throne and enslaved the Azurian people, igniting a civil war within the once peaceful kingdom. A prophecy foretells the coming of a stranger from a distant land who will vanquish the false king and restore the rightful ruler to the throne. Could Sinbad be that stranger, or is he merely a pawn in Akhdar's treacherous game?

WRATH OF THE TITANS II - THE REVENGE OF MEDUSA
With the Gods humbled and the Kraken defeated, Perseus thought Argos was to enter a Golden Age of peace and prosperity. He was wrong. War drums are beating, the Olympians are again scheming and Perseus' mettle would be severely tested. But there is a new menace neither man nor Olympian could envision. Our WRATH OF THE TITANS is an entertaining roller-coaster ride: This sequel will have more action, more intrigue...and more monsters!

DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE
CRT's third production of a Robert Louis Stevenson classic story. Dr. Henry Jekyll experiments with scientific means of revealing the hidden, dark side of man and releases a murderer from within himself.
