Los Angeles, CA, October 6, 2009 – Halo-8 has unveiled a brand new preview clip for the illustrated-film Godkiller, whose first episode comes to DVD this Tuesday Oct 6th. The clip is a monologue sequence where Dr. Mulciber (Lance Henriksen) explains his use of sex-magic to solve crimes.

Godkiller is slated for a limited theatrical release in January 2010, but Halo-8 has put together an innovative release campaign by splitting the movie into three shortform, episodic DVDs released bi-monthly leading up to the full theatrical release (similar to how comic books are released before the complete graphic novel).

The first episode comes to DVD on Tuesday Oct 6th and Meltdown Comics will be hosting a free screening on Wednesday Oct 7th in their art gallery attached to the store on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood.

A post-nuke odyssey about a young boy venturing into the savage land of Outer City on a quest to find a new heart for his dying sister, GODKILLER was directed by award-winning filmmaker Matt Pizzolo (Threat) and features voice performances by sci-horror legend Lance Henriksen (Aliens), scream queens Danielle Harris (Halloween 4, 5, I, II) & Tiffany Shepis (Night of the Demons), horror hero Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects), sci-fi starlet Nicki Clyne (Battlestar Galactica), cult icon Lydia Lunch (Richard Kern’s Hardcore), and singers Justin Pierre of Motion City Soundtrack and Davey Havok of A.F.I.

The dark, unrated film pioneers a new style of animation called ‘illustrated-films,’ developed by Pizzolo with his producing partner, Emmy-winner Brian Giberson. Utilizing the comic book’s sequential art by illustrator Anna Muckcracker, the illustrated-film adds 3D CGI, motion graphics, elaborate sound design, and dramatic voice performances for an edgy, sophisticated, intricately detailed new form of animation. Danielle Harris told iF Magazine “its more like moving art than animation, with very good writing.” Upcoming illustrated-films from Halo-8 include Tim Seeley’s Loaded Bible and James Farr’s Xombie: Reanimated.

The trailer is posted on Halo8.tv and available for easy embedding.

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.

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: Silent War is a sci-fi/urban-fantasy novel that will be released as a serialized audiobook on the Godkiller: Walk Among Us dvds]
