![]() Following in the footsteps of Harry Potter, every boy and girl, should familiarize themselves with the disciplines of magic even if only for shits and giggles. Magick provides a powerful context and support system for even the darkest or most fucked-up times and experiences. Otherwise, it's just our fellow human beings reminding us not to get too complacent! If you're making art, it's just grist to the mill.ĭo you think perhaps a good way for individuals and as a collective to get through a Trump and Brexit world would be to learn more magick skills?Ībsolutely. You can definitely make parallels with the Trump campaign. Sombunall, as Robert Anton Wilson would say, some but not all, of the anti-Europe sentiment was undoubtedly fueled by ill-informed xenophobia and a sort of ambient, directionless anxiety. In Scotland, we almost unanimously voted to stay in Europe but the attitude in England was very different, at least outside the major cosmopolitan towns and cities. I guess Brexit, in a sense, was the British version of Trump becoming President. Yeah, it's very disturbing to think of Trump anywhere near any form of power. ![]() We used Huxley and the original book as a springboard but we had to expand the original finite story into something new that can sustain a TV series through several potential seasons. They liked our take and now we're working to get the pilot right. They, being the Syfy network, liked what Brian Taylor and I had done with the Happy! pilot script and asked us to pitch for the Brave New World series they've been putting together with Amblin. How did your Brave New World project come about? For three hours, we covered such varied topics as the utilization of Magick to survive the idiocy of Trump and Brexit the greatness of the work of Robert Anton Wilson, the role that women are playing in bringing in a bloodless revolution in the Aeon of Ma'at, Gnosticism, Acting, Theater, The conference, Voodoo, Kool Keith, the KLF, and the importance of maintaining a sense of humor, among other amazing things. Morrison was in town to work on the Happy! Pilot, when he, myself and the Semiotic Alchemyst (aka Laura Kang) met up on a frigid February night for some food, drink and conversation. Syfy Channel contracted Grant to film a pilot based on his graphic novel, Happy!, as well as a television series rendering of the Aldous Huxley classic Brave New World. This year marks another ascent for him, as the TV world has finally managed to secure his story-telling talents. Since that Disinfo conference, Morrison's stories have jettisoned his name to a pantheon of comic book wizardry.
