THE SPINE OF NIGHT Clip Features Patton Oswalt's Tyrant Character Facing Off with Lucy Lawless
The first clip has been released for the crazy-ass looking animated fantasy movie The Spine of Night. It features a scene involving Patton Oswalt’s Tyrant character Lord Pyrantin and Lucy Lawless, who is playing Tzod. It’s a pretty intense scene, and it’s weird to hear Oswalt playing an evil tyrant. It’s hard to imagine him as a villainous character like this, but I like it!
The story is “set in a fantasy land ripe with magic and intrigue where a dark force is unleashed sending mankind into an age of ruin. It falls on heroes from different eras and cultures to fight back.”
This epic begins many years ago “when an ambitious young man steals forbidden knowledge from a sacred plant and, as he falls to its darker temptations, unleashes ages of suffering onto mankind. As his power grows over the years, there are many who stand against him. Among them are a daring tomb-robber, star-crossed lovers, a maniacal necromancer, winged assassins, and an undying guardian.”
The film also stars Richard E. Grant (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker), Betty Gabriel (Get Out), Joe Manganiello (Justice League, Magic Mike), Abby Savage (Orange is the New Black), Larry Fessenden (The Dead Don’t Die), and Rob McClure (The Good Fight).
The project comes from writer and director Philip Gelatt (They Remain, Europa Report) along with Morgan Galen King, who directed a rotoscoped fantasy short in 2013 titled Exordium.
The Spine of Night will be released in theaters, On Demand and Digital on October 29, 2021.
