According to reports from Deadline, the experimental animated film Mad God will debut in U.S. theaters and arrive on Shudder on June 16, 2022.
Directed by well-known U.S. effects designer and director Phil Tippett, Mad God is a stop-motion film set in a world populated by monsters, mad scientists and war pigs.
Mad God is a mix of several innovative animation techniques, and it took Phil Tippett 30 years to complete it. The effects artist began working on it while he was busy on the visual effects of RoboCop 2 but, after Jurassic Park (1993), shelved the project and only recently completed it.
Plot: a corroded diving bell descends in the midst of a ruined city, and the Assassin inside begins to explore a maze of bizarre landscapes inhabited by oddball characters.
Phil Tippett is the founder of Tippett Studio (a visual effects company specializing in CGI) and has worked on such major franchises as Star Wars, Indiana Jones and RoboCop. Winner of two Academy Awards (the "Special Achievement Award for Visual Effects" for Return of the Jedi and the "Oscar for Best Special Effects" for Jurassic Park), Tippett also appears on the crew of several horror films such as Piraña (1978), Helen's House (1987), Tremors 2: Aftershocks (1996) e Haunting - Presences (1999).
