Anime, gaming and animation fans can venture into the nine
circles of hell not once, but twice this February as Film Roman in Association
with Manga/Anchor Bay unleashes DANTE’S INFERNO on Blu-ray and DVD, The
Animated Movie, a ferocious companion piece to Electronic Arts' forthcoming
Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PSP title.
Both the game and animated movie are based on part one of
Dante Alighieri’s classic poem, The Divine Comedy, better known as
"Dante’s Inferno." Each takes players and viewers on a stunning
journey through the nine circles of Hell. Dante’s Inferno The Animated Movie
also follows Dante as he travels through limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger,
heresy, violence, fraud and treachery in search of his true love, Beatrice.
Dante's Inferno The Animated Movie is a visually stunning
project from the creative teams behind some of the boldest animated films of
all time - including Ghost in the Shell, Blood the Last Vampire, Tales of the
Black Freighter, Ergo Proxy and Samurai Champloo - it provides a breathtaking
new version of Dante Alighieri’s medieval classic, and the perfect way to delve
deeper into the subjects covered in the interactive action adventure.
To give added distinction among each of the nine circles, EA
and Film Roman are taking the innovative step of commissioning unique visions
from multiple studios with experience creating some of the top anime in the
industry to tell this classic story. Film Roman’s Joe Goyette ("Dead Space™:
Downfall") is the producer on the project, Victor Cook ("The
Spectacular Spider-Man," "Hellboy Animated: Blood & Iron")
is directing and Brandon Auman ("Iron Man: Armored Adventures") is
writing. Each episode hails from the best animation studios within the USA,
Japan and Korea.
As well as providing more insight into the characters and
story adaptation featured within the Dante’s Inferno game, the movie explores
aspects of the poem that Visceral’s thrilling action adventure does not.
