If you’re a fan of Cartoon Network’s "Samurai Jack" or DreamWorks’ "Neverhood" video game, then you’ll be happy to know that 2-D animated movie versions are on the way.
A new company called Frederator Films will focus on animated fare that’s not necessarily for the small kiddies. The first three project out of the gate for Frederator will be:
— "Samurai Jack," with series creator Genndy Tartakovsky on board to write and direct.
— "The Neverhood," based on a video game I’ve never played. Game creator Doug TenNapel has been hired to bring the adaptation home.
— "The Seven Deadly Sins," a "hip-hop" project that’s already got Don King on board as a voice-cast member.
All of the FF projects will be 2-D animated, and probably all sorts of "hip."
