GODKILLER DVDS TO INCLUDE PREQUEL AUDIOBOOK

- Original speculative-fiction novel provides unique bonus content for graphic novel adaptation -

Los Angeles, CA, August 26, 2009 – Halo-8 Entertainment has announced the bi-monthly, episodic DVDs for its GODKILLER: WALK AMONG US ‘illustrated film’ series will come packaged with a serialized audiobook of the prequel novel GODKILLER: SILENT WAR, written by the film’s award-winning writer/director Matt Pizzolo.

GODKILLER: WALK AMONG US Episode 1, starring Danielle Harris (upcoming “HALLOWEEN 2″), Lance Henriksen (“AVP: ALIEN VS PREDATOR”), Justin Pierre (singer of MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK), Tiffany Shepis (“NIGHT OF THE DEMONS”), Bill Moseley (“THE DEVIL’S REJECTS”), Nicki Clyne (“BATTLESTAR GALACTICA”), Katie Nisa (“THREAT”), Lydia Lunch (“HARDCORE”), and Davey Havok (singer of A.F.I.), comes to DVD on September 29th, 2009.

“GODKILLER is split into two periods… there’s the post nuke world of the graphic novel & illustrated film WALK AMONG US, and there’s the pre-nuke world of SILENT WAR,” Pizzolo explains. “So SILENT WAR is only a prequel insofar as it happens beforehand, but its events drive the WALK AMONG US story and many of the same characters appear in both. I’m super excited that the two stories can roll out together in this integrated way–everything about this project is unorthodox and crazy, hopefully everyone will enjoy the ride.”

GODKILLER: SILENT WAR is the story of the end of civilization as we know it. In the near future, 17 year old Joe Junior and his girlfriend Bee run a speakeasy in the basement of an abandoned NYC church where they serve narcotic drinks to underagers while providing sanctuary and black-market employment to draft dodgers. When Joe is recruited by an armed cult of populist assassins, he is thrust into a secret world of international cabals, alien conspiracies, and the countdown to Armageddon.

GODKILLER: WALK AMONG US is the epic story of a boy on a quest to save his dying sister. Based on the comic book Pizzolo created with Anna Muckcracker, GODKILLER takes place in a dark-future after economic collapse, after nuclear holy war, and after Earth is colonized by alien races. Tommy and his kid sister Lucy live in an orphanage in one of the few remaining city-states, but Lucy is critically ill and desperately in need of a new heart. Tommy’s odyssey to find a new heart for his sister begins when he follows an organ-stealing prostitute named Halfpipe out of the city-state and into the savage borderland known as Outer City. GODKILLER mixes unforgiving brutality, quantum physics, conspiracy theory, and secret history for an iconoclastic hero’s journey like none before it.

About the GODKILLER ‘illustrated film’
The ‘illustrated film’ Pizzolo, illustrator Anna Muckcracker, and animator Brian Giberson are creating for the adaption mixes elements of anime, radio drama, video games, and motion comics. Utilizing the original artwork from the comic book, the ‘illustrated film’ adds motion animation, visual effects, elaborate sound design, music, and voice-acting performances.

Pizzolo explained “when we decided to make an anime adaptation of the comic book, I couldn’t see how a traditional animated approach would do justice to Anna’s incredibly lush and detailed illustrations. It made perfect sense to adapt the medium to suit her art, rather than vice versa.”
