PDP Forces of Remnant Invade Dragon*Con 2011

"The Great War ended in smoke and ruin, and the world as we knew it exists no more. The fighting continues. Organized rebels and rogue pirates prefer chaos, but the world needs peace and stability. The world needs Remnant."

A post-apocalyptic world sets the cosplay universe for the Steampunk characters of Remnant, Penny Dreadful Production's creation inspired by PDP co-founder Matt Silva. 

Remnant is first a fashion collection that is characterized by a short vignette story line. A social media campaign was launched to introduce the story behind the costumes while building suspense for the fashion release at Dragon*Con 2011 Sept. 2-5. Remnant is Duluth-based PDP's largest fashion collection, and it will be launched during Dragon*Con 2011. The convention takes place at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, Atlanta Marriott Marquis, Atlanta Hilton, Sheraton Atlanta, and Westin Peachtree Plaza hotels in downtown Atlanta.

Dragon*Con is described as "the largest multi-media, popular culture convention focusing on science fiction and fantasy, gaming, comics, literature, art, music, and film in the universe!" Celebrities and enthusiasts from all over the world attend the event, which features a parade of characters Saturday, Sept. 3, at 10 a.m. on Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta.

The six Remnant character prototypes totaling over 23 outfits will be featured in multiple platforms throughout Dragon*Con 2011 as well as be promoted at the Steampunk Exhibition on Sunday, Sept. 4. PDP will host a booth next to the Walk of Fame area while costume models will be exhibiting the Remnant fashion collection.

The Boiler Room in Duluth, GA, is the world's first Steampunk studio, props, costumes, & oddities shop. It is located at 3067B Main St. in Historic Downtown Duluth.

Under the leadership of founders Matt Silva and Erin Bushko, PDP has contributed to the aesthetic of Steampunk. PDP has created a wide variety of costumes including original one-of-a-kind designs and notable Steampunk versions of popular characters including a Steampunk ensemble of The Wizard of Oz, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Steampunk Iron Man, and Steampunk Boba Fett. PDP craftsmanship has been seen on TV and films including The Walking Dead, Ben10-Alien Swarm, The Candy Shop, Heartless, and the recent Blood on My Name.  For more information visit www.getdreadful.com.
