Beast Wishes – A documentary about Bob and Kathy Burns

Beast Wishes is a compelling documentary that delves into the lives of Bob and Kathy Burns, who have become iconic goodwill ambassadors of the science fiction film fandom. Their remarkable journey is intricately tied to the world of movie memorabilia, with Bob’s impressive collection of iconic movie props first igniting my own interest in this fascinating hobby back in the early 90s.

This remarkable film showcases many of the industry’s most talented artists, such as the legendary Rick Baker, esteemed Dennis Muren, the innovative Alec Gillis, and countless others who have left an indelible mark on the genre. The trailer captivates with its stunning visuals and engaging narrative, and I find myself eagerly anticipating the opportunity to see this film, whether it graces theaters or becomes available on video. The Burns, in the realm of prop collecting, truly stand as royalty, deserving our highest appreciation for their invaluable contributions to this vibrant hobby. They have not only influenced generations of fans and collectors but have also played a vital role in preserving the history of film memorabilia.

Below is a trailer for the documentary, which is scheduled to be in theaters sometime in early 2012, though no specific dates have been announced yet, heightening the excitement surrounding its release.
