In an exciting development for fans of animation and sci-fi, Willow Smith, Teyana Taylor, Anna Sawai, John Cho, and John Boyega have joined the cast of Slime, an upcoming animated feature directed by Sundance prize-winning animator Jeron Braxton. This film marks Braxton’s feature debut and features Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi in a pivotal role.
Set in a near-future world, Slime follows the story of Muna, voiced by Willow Smith, an optimistic yet broke young woman who enrolls in a paid clinical trial. However, her life takes a drastic turn when she is injected with a mysterious creature’s slime that grants her uncontrollable destructive powers. In a desperate bid for survival, she kidnaps Glenn (played by Mescudi), the lab technician responsible for her predicament, and together they embark on a perilous journey through a dystopian landscape in search of safety and a cure.
The film promises to blend anime aesthetics with retro video-game influences, and Kid Cudi is set to contribute an original soundtrack and score. Character details for the other cast members remain under wraps, but the ensemble is poised to bring a unique energy to this innovative project.
With voice recording scheduled to begin next month, excitement is building around Slime as it prepares for release. The project is financed by Hammerstone Studios in collaboration with Script 2 Screen, Mad Solar, and Capstone Pictures, with a script penned by Brian Ash. The production team includes notable figures such as Alex Lebovici, Kid Cudi, Smith, and others.
This diverse and talented cast brings a wealth of experience and creativity to the table, enhancing the film’s potential appeal to a wide audience. As Willow Smith steps into the lead role, fans are eager to see how her performance, alongside her co-stars, will shape the narrative of this groundbreaking animated feature.
As the film progresses through production, the combination of anime-inspired visuals, a compelling storyline, and a star-studded cast is set to make Slime a must-watch in the realm of animated cinema.
