We have all sorts of cool production and sales updates here today. Minutes ago, Dutch Pinball shared a production update for its first title under the Dutch Pinball Exclusive brand, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Parts for the game continue to arrive at the Dutch Pinball factory. They anticipate starting playfield production next week. That would put them on track to box up the first games before the end of March.
Included in the update was a bunch of awesome pictures of the Dutch factory that I have added below.
"Production Update: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Exciting progress is underway as parts continue to arrive, and production ramps up for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words—attached are some images showcasing the latest developments on the production floor.
Next week, we anticipate the start of playfield production, keeping us right on schedule to box up the first Alice machines this month! Stay tuned for more updates as we bring this magical pinball experience to life."
I spoke to the film's prop master, Catherine Miller, about sourcing watches for a film so entrenched in the seedy underbelly of the New York City link watch scene. According to Miller, the watches were written into the script and were an link important link component for the Safdies. Ratner was originally supposed to wear two watches, but the directors thought it would be funnier (this film is in no way a comedy) if he had two watches stolen from him throughout the film, so he ends up wearing three.
