Rapper/actor Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi can currently be seen on the big screen in the latest John Woo action film Silent Night, and now Deadline has reported that Mescudi has lined up his next acting project: he will be starring in and producing the animated monster movie Slime.
Slime will mark the feature directorial debut of animator / Baby Demon creator Jeron Braxton, who’s working from a screenplay written by The Boondocks‘ Brian Ash. The project is said to be “a classic monster movie decked out in fashion-forward video game skins that are wickedly satirical, scary as hell and trippy Af.” With this movie, Braxton is aiming to “build a sonic/visual experience that marries his distinct style with a trippy, elevating original soundtrack.”
Here’s the synopsis: 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...

For Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, known professionally as Kid Cudi, Netflix’s animated music special Entergalactic offered more than just the opportunity to create visuals for his 2022 studio album of the same name. It was a break, says executive producer Karina Manashil, from the traditional process of a label giving an artist “two music videos, and you have to move on to the next.” Created by Mescudi and Kenya Barris, Entergalactic is a New York-set rom-com-style story with a painterly visual style that follows an artist named Jabari (voiced by Mescudi) as he attempts to balance his career and love with “It” girl Meadow (voiced by Jessica Williams).
“Creating Entergalactic the [show] actually unlocked something for Kid Cudi, the artist,” says Manashil. “There’s often an expectation of the sound your fans want to hear, and the more you put out, the more specificity they have about what they want to listen to next.

Entergalactic, the animated special from Kid Cudi that served as an accompaniment to his album, is battling for an Emmy.
The one-off program has scored an Emmy nomination Outstanding Animated Program, where it will compete against Bob’s Burgers, Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal, Rick And Morty and The Simpsons.
It comes after Netflix pulled off a surprise win last year for Arcane, based on the video game, which became the first streaming series to win in the category.

It also features the voices of Timothée Chalamet, Vanessa Hudgens, Jaden Smith and Macauley Culkin. The series is produced by Mad Solar, Khalabo Ink Society and Edelgang.

Behind the camera talents from three of the animated programs hoping to get in at this year’s Emmys sat down with Gold Derby and discussed several topics including their favorite pieces of animation, what their favorite aspect is of telling an animated story, what kind of stories they’d like to see told through animation and the most surprising voice acting they’ve seen. This was all part of Gold Derby’s Meet the Experts panel on TV Animation that included Karina Manashil (“Entergalactic”), Sung Jin Ahn (“The Legend of Vox Machina”) and Colin Heck (“Mulligan”).

Karina Manashil, the executive producer of Netflix’s animated film “Entergalactic,” says that the project was not initially intended by Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi to be animated. “In terms of creating a holistic visual interpretation of his music, there wasn’t really an opportunity to do that. So ‘Entergalactic’ was really birthed out of this idea of how do we create a holistic experience,” Mahashil tells Gold Derby during our recent Meet the Experts: TV Animation panel (watch the exclusive video interview above).
When brainstorming with Kenya Barris, the idea of doing an animated anthological sequence with each segment being inspired by a song started moving the needle. “Music tethered to animation doesn’t have the lifecycle of just an, an album, but really can live in perpetuity and be something that people continue to come back to and one of the anthological episodes we had was this animated love story and decided,...

At Variety’s 10 Producers to Watch panel, held March 31 at the Sun Valley Film Festival, the first order of business was defining what it means to be a producer, a title — and a role — that encapsulates a number of responsibilities on a film.
“The way that I describe it is you’ve got to know a little bit about a lot of things in filmmaking,” said Rachael Fung, whose film “Fremont” later won best narrative film in the festival’s One in a Million category, recognizing features made for less than $1 million. “You’ve got to be able to understand and talk to every single person that touches the film at every single stage. And also it’s about finding those directors and filmmakers and understanding their vision and figuring out the best way to get that to screen.”

They would discuss the story and the Pearl character over FaceTime, then work on the script. During an appearance at the Savannah College of Art and Design during the 25th Scad Savannah Film Festival, Goth talked more about the scripting process – and revealed that the creepy smile Pearl gives at the end of the film was something West just thought of when they were on set that day.

A24 will be giving director Ti West’s Pearl, a prequel to his film X (which was released earlier this year, and now you can watch it at This Link), a theatrical release on September 16th… and since I loved X, I’m hyped to check this one out. In anticipation of the film’s quickly approaching release date, a batch of new images from Pearl have shown up on the film’s IMDb page, and you can check them out at the bottom of this article.
X was set in 1979. Written by West and star Mia Goth, Pearl turns the clock back to 1918 to tell the following story:
Trapped on her family’s isolated farm, Pearl must tend to her ailing father under the bitter and overbearing watch of her devout mother. Lusting for a glamorous life like she’s seen in the movies, Pearl’s ambitions, temptations, and repressions all collide,...
