Keene</B></div> <bR> <div> Markus Rothkranz is not crazy. A genius, maybe. Obsessive about art, computer graphics and filmmaking, perhaps. A perfectionist? Definitely.</div> <bR> <div> Yet Rothkranz has the craziest idea I've heard in a while: to write, direct and produce a TV adventure serial that purges the sin from Sin City.</div> <bR> <div> I'm sitting next to Rothkranz inside MarkusWorld Art & Film Studio -- a solar-powered, state-of-the-art production compound Orson Welles might have concocted if he'd been asked to envision a comfortable, spacious, techno-savvy bungalow in which to let his imagination roam free -- watching clips of "Atomic City" on a half-dozen computer monitors that litter the room.</div> <bR> <div> The clips mostly involve Elvis look-alike Matt Lewis driving ultra-vixen amnesiac Katie Putnam around in his retro-rocket Chevy, dodging space-saucer laser attacks on desert highways and scrambling around made-up landmarks like the Astro hotel-casino and the Orbit Coffee Shop in order to unlock the mystery of his passenger's identity. </div> <bR> <div> It's bright, fast-paced, flashy, action-packed and sexy, with equal parts sci-fi, comedy and drama. It's also a million light years from the darkly lit, morbid, death-obsessed "CSI."</div> <bR> <div> "'Atomic City' is completely in the opposite direction," boasts Rothkranz, as he uses his computer mouse to jump-cut to a scene. "Here everyone and everything is squeaky clean."</div> <bR> <div> Now, before you dismiss this guy as some know-it-all computer geek with money to burn, think again. Rothkranz has already proven himself in the arena of filmmaking, having worked as an FX artist for movies like <I>Die Hard</I> and <I>Total Recall</I>.</div> <bR> <div> As a filmmaker, he wrote and directed <I>To the Ends of Time</I>, a $2-million sci-fi/fantasy epic that involved 300 FX shots, a cast and crew of 300, a 100-person symphony, 45,000 square feet of sets, and six weeks of principal photography.</div> <bR> <div> For that film he also handcrafted a variety of miniature ships a la Ray Harryhausen (the famed stop-motion director who worked on movies including <I>Clash of the Titans</I>). It was no small undertaking, especially in comparison to what usually passes for "low-budget" filmmaking in this town.</div> <bR> <div> Rothkranz says he's in his 40s, but you'd never guess it. His looks, energy and interests allow him to pass for someone in his early 30s. He claims he specifically moved to Las Vegas to pursue his dream of making "Atomic City."</div> <bR> <div> Tired of the same old Sin City cliches, he sought to introduce a new concept into the TV marketplace: fun.</div> <bR> <div> "'X-Files' is too dark, and 'Austin Powers' is too silly," he maintains. "People want to have fun. People drive by places like Area 51, and they really wonder if aliens crash-landed there. Likewise, Vegas is shrouded in mystery, in what-ifs.</div> <bR> <div> So what if we made Vegas into a theme park, a thrill ride? What if we explored what Vegas could be? It's always about casinos; it's always shot at night, with gambling and hookers. There's no sense of hope or promise."</div> <bR> <div> Indeed, Rothkranz seeks to resurrect an earlier tradition of narrative possibilities, one that emerged in the '50s, then quickly disappeared in the wake of Vietnam. Hence, his lack of hesitation in referencing "The Jetsons." Within his dim view of the Strip, he sees a plethora of jeweled opportunities.</div> <bR> <div> "These new hotel-casinos are too corporate," he continues. "They're taking all the fun out of Vegas. Heck, they took [away] the pirates of Treasure Island. But see, we [Americans] have what others around the world are jealous of: wide-open spaces and technology."</div> <bR> <div> Rothkranz has married the two in a unique concept that perhaps speaks better to an outsider's vision of America than to our own. Indeed, it's a little tempting to prick the filmmaker's balloon by pointing out that he seems motivated by a deep and abiding love for what I can only characterize as "unpopular popular culture."</div> <bR> <div> Then again, I'm sure they said the same thing about George Lucas right before he breathed life into the pulp fictions of the pre-WWII space opera. Rothkranz, however, does have a contemporary model in mind, despite his insistence that he never watches TV and lacks a cable subscription.</div> <bR> <div> "['Atomic City'] is like a live-action 'Simpsons,' where you get a whole adventure in 30 minutes. It should be in a time slot when the whole family can watch it."</div> <bR> <div> It's true. A cursory glance at the TV pilot Rothkranz has assembled brings to mind the limitless, go-anywhere-do-anything environment of the mythical Springfield. Unlike the city street/precinct/courthouse carousel of crime dramas, you get the sense that the characters in "Atomic City" can wind up in the most unexpected places.</div> <bR> <div> Unlike "The Simpsons," or its sci-fi offshoot "Futurama," "Atomic City" doesn't have any political subtleties. Indeed, you'll never find Yucca Mountain amid Rothkranz's jet-set architectures and desert dunes.</div> <bR> <div> "My atomic city has nothing to do with that," he affirms. "It's about the Atomic Age, the age of possibilities."</div> <bR> <div> Soon it will be Rothkranz's own age of possibilities. On Sept. 7, there's a private screening of the "Atomic City" pilot for investors and industry folks at Brendan Theatres inside the Palms hotel-casino. By all accounts, it will be a grand affair, which gives this local creator even more reason to celebrate living in Las Vegas.</div> <bR> <div> "If I lived in L.A., what are the odds that the lieutenant governor would fly in for my screening?"</div> <bR> <div> It's still unknown whether another famed personage will be attending: Sin City's very own space cadet, Mayor Oscar Goodman.</div> <bR> <div> "Goodman is pushing the old Vegas, the lost Vegas, the Vegas that was starting to happen and then died. I think he'll enjoy 'Atomic City,' because it will do for old Vegas what 'Love Boat' did for the cruise industry.</div> <bR> <div> It could really take people off the Strip and have them explore the other things this city has to offer."</div> <bR> <div> And if "Atomic City" doesn't fly?</div> <div> It probably won't faze Rothkranz, who has more than a dozen other ideas in the works -- each one more dynamic than the next.</div> <bR> <div> "I'm not a talking-heads guy," Rothkranz says about his style of filmmaking. "I'm more a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-make-it-exciting type."</div> <bR> <div> <I>For more info on "Atomic City," go to </I><A HREF="http://www.atomiccity.tv/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.atomiccity.tv/"><I>www.atomiccity.tv</I></A><I>.
