Awesome Pitch Video for THE UNTAMED Animated Series with Sean Bean
I've got a badass pitch video for an upcoming animated series being developed based on the graphic novel The Untamed. Film Roman, the animation studio behind shows such as The Simpsons and Hell Boy Animated, has released the video in the form of an animatic. This is basically a rough sketch that gives us an idea of what we can expect to see in the new series.
The awesome concept art that you’ll see in the video was created by Tomm Coker (Punisher, Batman, Daredevil), and it features a “gritty 'Frazetta Western' mood and tone of the comic series.” On top of that, Sean Bean is the narrator in the video, and he will provide the voice of the main character in the series.
The graphic novel was created by Sebastian A. Jones and Peter Bergting, and if you’re not familiar with the story, here’s a synopsis that came along with the video:
Would you damn yourself to save the ones you love? Hidden within the Desert of the Dying Tree lies a town run by ruthless killers, a growing cancer upon the vast and volatile fantasy world of Asunda. Some say it’s a watering hole for the devil. For one man, it’s a second chance at revenge… and a last chance at redemption.
A Stranger has returned to the brutal Town of Oasis, a violent past haunting his every step. It’s been ten years since his wife and child were on the verge of turning him from wickedness, but they were murdered and so was he. Now, the Stranger has been released from Hell to reap the seven souls responsible. But having little recollection of his former life, he is lost in a sea of faded memories, glimpses of the life that was taken from him coming back in broken shards as he leaves a bloody trail.
Conflict arises when lust for his lover steers him from his path of vengeance, and hate is tempered by the young orphan Niobe, who reminds him of his daughter. She acts as his conscience and ultimately his only hope for salvation.
The animated series will be directed by Alex Soto (Ultimate Spider-Man) and produced by Film Roman’s general manger Dana Booton (Ultimate Spider-Man, The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes) alongside Lloyd Levin (Hellboy, Watchmen) and Andrew Cosby (Eureka, Two Guns) with Andrew Sugerman (Conviction, Death Sentence) and Jones.
I can’t wait to see this in its completed form! We just don’t see animated series like this anymore, and there’s a lot of talent involved with it that is sure to give us something amazing to enjoy. I can’t wait to see how this turns out! The series will include 26-half hour episodes.
