Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi is following his inventive ode to love and art Entergalactic by producing and starring in a new animated feature, titled Slime. This project will be another opportunity for Mescudi to craft a unique sonic-visual experience in animation.
Billed as a mash up of classic monster movies and fashion-forward video game aesthetics — as well as “wickedly satirical, scary as hell and trippy AF” — the movie will mark the feature directorial debut of award-winning animator Jeron Braxton (Glucose, Octane, Daytime Noir). Slime is being scripted and executive produced by Brian Ash (The Boondocks, Black Dynamite, Freaknik).
In a not-too-distant, but all-too-dystopian future, Muna, an optimistic, but broke young woman, signs up for a paid medical trial. Hope turns to horror when she is unknowingly injected with a foreign creature’s slime and begins to have visions she does not understand and unleash destructive powers she cannot control.
Hunted and desperate, Muna kidnaps Glenn (voiced by Mescudi), a lab worker from the mega-corporation who injected her. Together, they go on a terrifying odyssey in search of refuge and a cure. But is it already too late to stop her from evolving into a monster, a post-human savior, or something in between?
From Mescudi’s Mad Solar, Hammerstone Studios and Capstone Global, Slime is produced by Mescudi, Karina Manashil, Dennis Cummings, Aaron Bergman, Alex Lebovici and Jon Oakes. Christian Mercuri, Courtney Chenn, Waylin Lin and Brian Ash executive produce. Mad Solar and Hammerstone are the production companies; Hammerstone and Capstone serve as financiers.
