Awesome Red-Band Trailer For an Animated Sci-Fi Noir Action-Thriller Called MFKZ
There’s an incredibly cool looking R-rated animated film coming out called MFKZ and today we have a red-band trailer to share with you for it along with a couple of other trailers.
This movie completely came out of nowhere and it’s described as a "dark but stunningly animated sci-fi vision that mixes anime, film noir, and Lucha Libre in an orgy of video game-inspired mayhem." As you’ll see, it looks crazy cool!
The film was produced in France and made by Shôjirô Nishimi and Guillaume Renard, and it’s based on Renard's comic book series. The title of the film is an abbreviation of the actual French title which is Mutafukaz, but you can't promote a movie in the U.S. with that kind of title.
The film centers on young Angelino and his skull-and-flame pal Vinz, who live in a seedy tenement in an LA-inspired dystopian metropolis – a burnt-out, gang and cockroach-ridden neo-urban hell. Following a scooter accident Angelino starts experiencing migraines and strange hallucinations, as well as fits of rage-inspired superpowers, as he slowly awakens to the truth of his origins: he is half human and half Macho, a supernatural alien race that is bent on taking over the planet.
The movie was made in collaboration with French comic artist Guillaume "RUN" Renard and the Japanese animation house Studio 4°C.
The new English release features the voices of Michael Chiklis, Giancarlo Esposito, Jorge Gutierrez, Dascha Polanco, RZA, Vince Staples, and Danny Trejo.
Watch the trailers and tell us what you think! MFKZ will be released in select theaters for two nights only starting on October 11th. It will then be followed by VOD/Blu-ray release.
