I'm a big fan of Mike Mignola, like most artists I suppose. His stuff has a power and style to it that just oozes inspiration and innovation. I spotted these screengrabs from the upcoming Sci Fi Channel presentation of the Amazing Screw On Head, one of the coolest little books Mike ever made. The team behind the film did an amazing job capturing his style in animation and I'm really looking forward to this one. Have a look at the screen grabs!Click below for more info on the show and Mignola.
The voice cast alone is incredible, add to that the insane story by Mignola, and the great animation likeness of his work, this is one to keep an eye on.
Here's the info blurb from Comics2Film:
The Continuum has obtained a first look at images from The Amazing Screw-On Head, Sci Fi Channel's animated series based on Mike Mignola's comic book.
The pilot will debut on Thursday, July 27, following the premiere of Stan Lee's Who Wants to Be a Superhero?, but wil the network has that it will use the Internet to get direct viewer feedback on a pilot to help decide whether or not it will go to series.
The pilot wil be show on the network's new broadband channel, SCI FI Pulse (www.scifi.com), starting on Thursday, July 13.
Here's how the network describes the show:
"Amazing Screw-On Head is an outrageous, animated, sci-fi original half hour comedy featuring the voice talents of Paul Giamatti (Sideways), David Hyde Pierce (Frasier) and Molly Shannon (Saturday Night Live) based on the exploits of one of history's great unsung heroes. A secret agent working for the U.S. government, Screw-On Head (Giamatti) is a robot that screws his head onto a wide variety of bodies, and battles those who threaten our civilization."
Produced by Kickstart Productions, the pilot was written by Bryan Fuller. Fuller and Jason Netter serve as executive producers, with Mignola as art director. Chris Prynoski directed.
