THE SPINE OF NIGHT is an ultra-violent, hand-rotoscoped epic fantasy inspired by the cult classic works of animators Ralph Bakshi and Frank Franzetta. The film 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, and stars Richard E. Grant (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Bram Stoker’s Dracula), Lucy Lawless (“Ash Vs. Evil Dead”, “Xena: Warrior Princess”), Patton Oswalt (The Secret Life of Pets 2, “Parks and Recreation”), Betty Gabriel (Get Out, Upgrade), and Joe Manganiello (Archenemy, Spider-Man), also featuring Abby Savage (“Orange Is The New Black”), and Larry Fessenden (The Dead Don’t Die, Depraved) and Rob McClure.
A modern throwback to animated films of the 1970s, THE SPINE OF NIGHT is a politically progressive and boundary-pushing feature, and on the pick-up Yellow Veil Pictures Co-Founder Joe Yanick said: “The images born of the classic era of Adult-theme animation are given a new, modern lease on life in THE SPINE OF NIGHT. It’s seven-year labor of love that offers so much more than nostalgic fluff, but rather mines new depths in a beloved genre.”
Directors Philip Gelatt and Morgan Galen King, in a joint statement, said: “THE SPINE OF NIGHT was made as a bold-faced love letter to a classic style of animation in the service of telling a fantasy story rich in theme and wild in imagination. Given their devotion to boundary-pushing genre material, we can’t imagine a better partner on the film than Yellow Veil.”
