Our own Matthew Essary had the pleasure of interviewing writer/director duo, animator Morgan Galen King and screenwriter Philip Gelatt, ahead of the release of their most recent and celebrated festival fanfare, The Spine Of Night, just late last year. On that note, you’re welcome to check out the write-ups here, and it’s totally worth a read if you’re intrigued by animation and different styles of art and execution.
It’s a work now heralded and readying its new home via AMC Networks’ premium horror/thriller streaming service, Shudder, beginning March 24, with availability in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. The streamer is also launching its green band trailer which you can view here, but we’re going with the red-band embed atop the page as always because…well, it’s damn cool.
In The Spine of Night, an ultra-violent fantasy epic, ancient dark magic falls into sinister hands and unleashes ages of suffering onto mankind. A group of heroes from different eras and cultures must band together in order to defeat it at all costs.
The Spine of Night features an all-star voice cast that lists Richard E. Grant (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), Lucy Lawless (“Xena: Warrior Princess”), Patton Oswalt (Young Adult), Betty Gabriel (Get Out) and Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”).
