If London is a clue. To be truely epic the theme could only be Beatles. Some other great themes would be Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Queen, Harry Potter, Bond, or Monty Python. Not so epic, Football (Soccer), Cricket, British Leyland, Range Rover, Morris Garages, Mini Cooper, Jaguar, Fish & Chips, Downton Abbey, just to name a few..
Quoted from indypinhead:My guess....
Pat Lawler is back,
His machine is already designed,
Software is finished,
Yuosi has already done the artwork.
It will be a non-licensed theme and will involve "vehicles".
The machine is already in pre-production.
Hope you are right!!! 
Quoted from LBJ:I'd love to see JJP team with Zen pinball & make one of their tables!! That would be pretty epic!
Like Blade Captain America or the Haunted Forest[not sure of title ] one they did
Quoted from Rush1169:If it's Lawlor, I gotta shrug a little. The last time Lawlor was considered 'epic' was when Stern introduced PLD and Monopoly. How's that one working for you? Actually Monopoly is not that bad, but it's not that great either.
Shrek. Personally, I like the game, but not 'epic'.CSI. Never played it, can't comment, but they say little praise.Family Guy. I like this one a tad more than Shrek, but not 'epic'.Nascar. Not bad. Not great.Ripleys. Not bad. Not great.Roller Coaster. Not bad. Not great.Monopoly. Not bad. Not great.No Good Gofers. Not bad. Not great.Safecracker. Format not fair to say much.roadshow. Not bad. Not great.Twilight Zone. Epic.Addams Family. Epic.Funhouse. Epic.Whirlwind. Good.Earthshaker. Good.Banzai Run. I think it's epic, consensus is good.
What have you done for me lately? Not much. Hopefully if it is a PL announcement, JJP provides renewed energy and enthusiasm and Lawlor resumes his epic productions. The potential is there.
I have to disagree with you somewhat, my friend. Earthshaker is great. Whirlwind is Epic. NGG has a fantastic layout and is just some better software away from being at least great (IMSBO). RBION is great, if a bit derivative.
I would have loved to have seen what he could have done with Wizard Blocks.
I think the JJP kitchen sink philosophy combined with Lawlor's creativity would be an EPIC development.
Quoted from vid1900:That's for sure.
Avoid poisonous mammals (if at all possible).
Venomous, not poisonous.
Look, look Mom, I knew something Vid didn't. Can I have a sticker!!!?
Jersey Jack has acquired the rights to re-manufacture Zaccaria pinball machines, the new company will be named Jaccaria .

Yellow Submarine would make a nice pin.
Quoted from NYP:Jersey Jack has acquired the rights to re-manufacture Zaccaria pinball machines, the new company will be named Jaccaria .
Better not. I don't need a shitstorm in my beloved Zaccaria territory. Keep his mess free and clear of my euro line please.
Quoted from NYP:Jersey Jack has acquired the rights to re-manufacture Zaccaria pinball machines, the new company will be named Jaccaria .
How appropriate, If I recall correctly, there was only one Zaccaria distributor in the US and it was based in New Jersey.
Quoted from MapleSyrup:I have some more speculation to stir the pot. Has anybody thought about Epic Games, the videogame company?
I had the same thought. But I think an Infinity Blade pin would be pretty cool. That series made a good bit of money for EPIC.
The camera used to film the Hobbit movies is called EPIC (all caps same as in the announcement) I wonder if there is a linkage? Maybe custom video for the pin?

Quoted from ozno:Star Wars is being filmed in London as we speak.
If it is that Star Wars will be game #3 . Not Epic at all . Game #1 =movie theme , Game #2 =movie theme , If game #3 is star wars that =movie theme . that is not an epic announcement at all , in fact it will be par , the norm , standard anything but epic .
Quoted from hlaj78:How about Wizard Blocks
That would be great!
Quoted from hlaj78:How about Wizard Blocks or Kingpin?
That would require a lot of mess to be cleared up, I would imagine. I'm sure ol' Gene is still certain that he owns Wizard Blocks rights, and last I heard he was still collecting names to fax and snail mail for the Kingpin remake.
Quoted from hlaj78:It would seem to be a lot easier from Gene's point of view just to sell those rights and collect some cash rather than try to build the games on his own.
Yeah, good luck talking sense into Gene.
Quoted from gambit3113:Yeah, good luck talking sense into Gene.
I'll buy you a beer sometime and share stories.
Quoted from ozno:Star Wars is being filmed in London as we speak.
They're still working on the script, Episode 7 hasn't started shooting and will likely get pushed back just like Man of Steel 2: Justice League
Quoted from chessiv:Yeah, good luck talking sense into Gene.
I'll buy you a beer sometime and share stories.
Like when he critisized my friend for only owning 25 pins , or charging 25% more than the prices he has marked for the parts he brings to shows and tells you that they are mismarked . Or that he doesn't know the price of the KISS backglass that he has on display next to other backglasses that are for sale .
Quoted from magnoliarichj:I hate announces of announcements then people talking and speculating on no info at all!
Good thing you are in Florida, go out and enjoy the beach while you wait for the info! 
Quoted from gambit3113:Yeah, good luck talking sense into Gene.
LOL. I could talk to Georgiana?
Quoted from hlaj78:LOL. I could talk to Georgiana?
Do that. They don't have e-mail and they rarely answer the phone. Maybe skywrite it.
No idea what the news is, but a Floyd/Zep/Beatles pin with the JJP sound system would be awesome. (Still disappointed with the Stern audio, even on LE music-themed games.)
Quoted from StevenP:(Still disappointed with the Stern audio, even on LE music-themed games.)
Me too, but its better than nothing and it is very disappointing that JJP will probably never do any kind of music pin that I might like. Willy Wonka or Donny and Marie isn't it.
I may have had too many Merry Monks, but I don't think you guys know what the word epic means. Along with the word epic, I would like to add the words amazing and awesome.
Look them up. Pinball, as great as it is, is not epic, amazing or awesome. Sorry. 
hiccup.
p.s. If you're a beer drinker and haven't tried Weyerbacher Merry Monk, I think you will be pleasantly surprised. It is....epic...amazing...and yes, awesome.
Quoted from gambit3113:Do that. They don't have e-mail and they rarely answer the phone. Maybe skywrite it.
I heard Gene, Gene the Dancing machine had a tried & True Telex machine installed for speedy order placement by distributors. Just like on the covers of the old Bally (Cable address: Balfan Chicago) and Williams (Cable address: Wilcoin Chicago) and Gottlieb (Telex 72-8463) part catalogs. His cable address is probably Nincompoop Bloomington .
Of course if Gene can be pried away from his B&W Muntz or Philco teevee tonight in as he seeks the Ed Sullivan or All in the Family shows, he might read this on the internet and be slightly offended. LLLLMFAO!
Quoted from DCFAN:I can't imagine them being able to get the Beatles license. That would be fairly epic to have obtained a license that has been out of reach for pinball manufacturers for so long.
Imagine
We'll see.

You should try this beer. It's EPIC.

That's a good point. In fact, I think the latest RED Epic camera is in fact called The Dragon... So, there's some speculation fodder for ya!
