Longtime host Genndy Tartakovsky has a new film on which he works called Black Knight, And to do so, he calls for a long -standing audience for help.
Friday, the Unicorn: eternal warriors And Star Wars: The Clone Wars The Alun has published test images for the film, on which he has been working with his team for almost a decade. Tartakovsky said on Instagram that Sony Animation “loved what we were doing, but they didn’t know if there was an audience that would go to theaters. So, to try something different, I thought I shared the test to see if it can get a ground excitement that would change the spirit of the studio. ”
Black knight is an original film centered on a 14th century knight operating a 20 -foot armor costume high “using ropes, pulleys and levers,” said Tartakovsky. Although short, the images show our nameless hero using a massive sword to fight a human size ninja armed with a kusarigama. The knight has the advantage of size, but the ninja has speed on his side, although we do not have much idea what it would look like.
However, the concept here is promising: armor has a lot of weight and the forest in which they fought seems magnificent. Tartakovsky has a lot of CG experience thanks to its Transylvania hotel Films, and you can bet that it looks good from start to finish.
Why didn’t Sony Pictures animation want to do Black knight For theaters? Because, as discussed during Kpop Demon Hunters’ Rise, the original animated films that find an audience are a crapshoot, and we do not know what strikes in the moment or takes off afterwards. (Nobody cared Elementary Until Disney changes its marketing strategy and has triggered large in South Korea, for example.)
If Sony put her in theaters, promoting her as “from the studio behind Kpop“Could also have the general public thinking that he only comes to theaters for a week or two before jumping on Netflix. Whatever the agreement that the two companies concluded in 2021 which led to Kpop and the recent Tartakovsky hike comedy Fixed First hitting the streamer does not apply here, and Sony would probably not like to give each animated film he immediately has in Netflix.
None of this should remove the fact that Black knight Should be done, given the Pedigree of Tartakovsky and the relationship with Sony. This is what matters above all, and with luck, enough interest will be beaten so that we can see it in a certain format in the years to come. Until then, there is always Fixed, primal, And everything he did.
