If you’ve been hankering for a different kind of superhero movie, check out this new teaser for Antoine Charreyron’s The Prodigies (french title: La Nuit des enfants rois), an animated film based on the novel by Bernard Lenteric – it looks kind of like a French mash-up of Teen Titans and Watchmen, anime-style.
From Twitch:
NYC, Central Park, 2010. Five young teenagers are violently assaulted. But they’re not your average teenagers… they’re prodigies. The trauma of the assault incites them to lash out against the world in a cold and calculating way. The five chillingly brilliant minds come together to concoct a perfect revenge. The only person aware of the pending doom is Jimbo Farrar, a sixth prodigy, who has gathered them. As long as he fights against his five counterparts with all his might, there’s hope for the world. But should he turn over to their side, it’s only a matter of time before a disaster of apocalyptic proportions ensues…
Look for The Prodigies to hit French theaters May 25 – international release dates are TBD.
