METALOCALYPSE Co-Creator Gives Update On Movie: "We're Knee Deep In It."
"Metalocalypse" co-creator Brendon Small has offered an update on the upcoming original movie based on the hit Adult Swim series.
Speaking to Sara Parker of the 93.3 WMMR radio station in Philadelphia, Small stated about the film: "I can tell you… what has already been released, which is that we are making a feature 'Metalocalypse' movie, and that's what we're in production on right now. So we're right in the middle of making the movie, so all the questions that were still lingering after 'The Doomstar Requiem' — a one-hour long rock opera special — are being answered… I don't wanna say too much about it, but it's a very big project. We're all excited to be knee deep in it right now."
The movie will be released globally on Blu-ray/DVD and on digital transactional video on demand (TVOD) and electronic sell through (EST) for a 90-day exclusive window, followed by premieres on HBO Max and Adult Swim.
When pressed for a release date, he commented with a smile: "That will be up to [Adult Swim] to discern. I just know that I've still got work to do."
"Metalocalypse" was one of the first original productions to air on Adult Swim. "Metalocalypse" first aired on Adult Swim in 2003 and ran for four seasons, ending with the half-hour special "The Doomstar Requeim" in 2013.
Official Synopsis for film…
"The power-hungry Tribunal unveils their secret and deadly 'Falconback Project' as the world grows in embattled chaos and the menacing Doomstar breaches the Earth's atmosphere while the mysterious and twisted dissent of a band member threatens the future of DETHKLOK. Picking up directly after the heroic rescue of Toki Wartooth: Can DETHKLOK choose between their egos and the greater good of the world to embark on a gauntlet of dangers that will try their very souls and finally write the song that will be their salvation?"
The new movie is created by Small and Tommy Blancha. The movie soundtrack will be released on WaterTower Music.
