New Preview Clip from Halo-8’s Animated ‘Godkiller’
Halo-8 has given Bloody Disgusting an exclusive look a pretty cool brand new preview clip for the illustrated-film Godkiller, whose first episode comes to DVD this Tuesday Oct 6th. The clip that can be viewed beyond the break is a monologue sequence where Dr. Mulciber (Lance Henriksen) talks about his use of sex-magic to solve crimes. Godkiller is slated for a limited theatrical release in January 2010, but Halo-8 has put together an innovative release campaign by splitting the movie into three shortform, episodic DVDs released bi-monthly leading up to the full theatrical release (similar to how comic books are released before the complete graphic novel).The first episode comes to DVD on Tuesday Oct 6th and Meltdown Comics will be hosting a free screening on Wednesday Oct 7th in their art gallery attached to the store on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood.
A post-nuke odyssey about a young boy venturing into the savage land of Outer City on a quest to find a new heart for his dying sister, GODKILLER was directed by award-winning filmmaker Matt Pizzolo (Threat) and features voice performances by sci-horror legend Lance Henriksen (Aliens), scream queens Danielle Harris (Halloween 4, 5, I, II) & Tiffany Shepis (Night of the Demons), horror hero Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects), sci-fi starlet Nicki Clyne (Battlestar Galactica), cult icon Lydia Lunch (Richard Kern’s Hardcore), and singers Justin Pierre of Motion City Soundtrack and Davey Havok of A.F.I.
The dark, unrated film pioneers a new style of animation called ‘illustrated-films,’ developed by Pizzolo with his producing partner, Emmy-winner Brian Giberson. Utilizing the comic book’s sequential art by illustrator Anna Muckcracker, the illustrated-film adds 3D CGI, motion graphics, elaborate sound design, and dramatic voice performances for an edgy, sophisticated, intricately detailed new form of animation. Danielle Harris told iF Magazine “its more like moving art than animation, with very good writing.” Upcoming illustrated-films from Halo-8 include Tim Seeley’s LOADED BIBLE and James Farr’s XOMBIE: REANIMATED.
The Godkiller episode 1 dvd is available at Amazon.com $9.95 – Amazon or the Limited Edition DVD with cover art by Tim Seeley only at Hot Topic $9.99.
Fede Alvarez’s (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe) Alien: Romulus will be unleashed in theaters nationwide on August 16, and Entertainment Weekly brings us two new images today.
The first image you’ll find below gives us another fresh look at the film’s Xenomorph, with Alvarez promising the outlet that it’s the most H.R. Giger-faithful Xenomorph of them all.
Entertainment Weekly writes, “… Alvarez promises [the Xenomorph’s design] is closer to H.R. Giger’s original creation than any other iteration.” The late H.R. Giger was of course integral to Ridley Scott’s Alien, designing the iconic monster the franchise is centered on.
The other image you’ll find below gives us a look at two of the human characters from Alien: Romulus, Archie Renaux’s Tyler and Cailee Spaeny’s heroine Rain Carradine.
Head over to Entertainment Weekly for their full preview of the upcoming film.
Here’s the full official plot synopsis for Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, which comes in the wake of Disney reviving the Predator franchise in spectacular fashion with last year’s Prey…
“While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.”
Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: Legacy, Pacific Rim Uprising) leads the cast alongside Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.
Alien: Romulus takes place in between the first two films. It’s been described as “an original standalone feature,” one that “will focus on a group of young people on a distant world.”
Fede Alvarez co-wrote the script with Rodo Sayagues (Evil Dead). Ridley Scott is on board as producer for the film, the first movie in the franchise to be released by Disney.
