Wheels here,
The award-winning IMAGE comic book series, I KILL GIANTS, tells the story of a young, fantasy-obsessed girl who believes that the creatures of her favorite RPG are real, some of them are dangerous, and they need to be stopped.
The series, created by writer Joe Kelly and artist J. M. Ken Niimura, was a critical darling in 2008. It was only a matter of time before it was scooped up and made into a live action project.
I KILL GIANTS is the feature film debut of Academy Award winning short film director Anders Walter (HELIUM). The script is by Joe Kelly, himself and the film stars Zoe Saldana (AVATAR), Imogen Poots (GREEN ROOM), and Madison Wolfe (THE CONJURING 2).
The trailer for the film just appeared online. Let's check it out:
Really impressive imagery there! I think the story has a real chance to strike a chord with the audiences that championed STRANGER THINGS. Also, geek culture has never been more "in" and a story about a female gamer who stands up to monsters real or imagined has all the potential in the world to be a massive hit.
On top of all that, did yoiu see that creature at the end of the trailer? Cool stuff.
I know this film is certainly on my radar now. I think I'll watch TROLL HUNTER to hold me over...
I KILL GIANTS drops later this year.
Wheels out!
