Emmy-nominated animated program “Entergalactic” is set amid a vibrant New York City. Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi voices Jabari, a graffiti artist who has just moved into a new Manhattan apartment after being hired by a comic book company.
He’s just broken up with his ex, Carmen (voiced by Laura Harrier), because he’s too busy to have a personal relationship until he meets his neighbor, Meadow (voiced by Jessica Williams).
In building Jabari’s world, production designer Robh Ruppel created a “blank canvas” for his loft since the character has just moved in. The walls are white, boxes still fill the room, and Jabari’s bike sits against a wall. However, as the story progresses, those boxes become fewer and the space stars to become more personal. Ruppel’s key was how he used color. “You can’t have it everywhere,” he says. “To show a sad evening alone,...

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.

After hearing early demos from Kid Cudi, director Fletcher Moules knew he could connect with the vision of bringing a visual album to life through animation. Serving as an animated companion piece to Kid Cudi’s album of the same name, Entergalactic follows street artist Jabari (Cudi) as he is on the cusp of bringing his art to life in comics. His life changes when he falls for his neighbor Meadow (Jessica Williams), a photographer about to stage an exhibition. It was important for Moules that this special be a character-driven concept album, rather than one long music video, so the story and animation style were essential to get right.
‘Entergalactic’
Deadline: Where did the concept for Entergalactic come from?
Fletcher Moules: [Kid] Cudi had the idea. “Entergalactic” was the name of one of his songs from many years ago on an early album, and he wanted to visualize his music.

“Agent Elvis,” the hand-drawn adult animated Netflix series from Sony Pictures Animation and directed by Fletcher Moules (“Entergalactic”), re-imagines Elvis Presley as a super cool spy in a wild, gory, drugged-out alternate reality. It crosses “Archer” with “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” putting the King square in the crosshairs of everyone from the Manson Family and Howard Hughes to Richard Nixon and Timothy Leary — all while retaining recognizable signposts from Presley’s life, from concert specials to his hatred of Robert Goulet.
There’s also an array of hilarious cameos, including Stanley Kubrick shooting a staged moon landing — guess who ends up in the space suit? — and a young George Lucas getting inspiration for the lightsaber from Hughes’ radioactive urine stream weapon. “Agent Elvis” is so meta that Baz Luhrmann even voices the director of Presley’s final film “Change of Habit.”
In fact, the Quentin Tarantino-like vibe...

If you watched Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis" and thought to yourself, "this is good, but I wish Austin Butler was animated and also had a gun and was solving crimes," have we got the series for you! With Elvis fever running wild, the King of Rock and Roll has a new adult animated show due to arrive soon on Netflix, featuring Matthew McConaughey in the voiceover role he was born to play — Elvis Presley, but a super spy. The animation is sharp and snappy, the language and violence certainly aren't for kids, and despite the seemingly ridiculous premise ... "Agent Elvis" looks pretty damn awesome.
The series has been in the works since 2019, back when it was called "Agent King," but with "Agent Elvis" heading our way faster than you can put on a new pair of blue suede shoes, here's everything you need to know before the King enters the building.

Although they’ve both embraced the medium tenfold, “Entergalactic” creators Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi and Kenya Barris did not originally envision their TV event being animated. “We got convinced by some Netflix execs, Mike Moon, Elizabeth Porter, maybe this is something for animation,” Barris told IndieWire over Zoom. “And we started talking about how we both loved ‘Heavy Metal,’ we loved ‘Bambi’ and ‘Moana,’ and those things live forever. And so when you sometimes bring those together, it could be something amazing.”
What started as an idea for anthology series where, according to Mescudi, “the throughline, the theme through every episode, was love, and every episode would be a different cast, different story,” morphed into one 93-minute animated television special where he and Jessica Williams voice the characters Jabari and Meadow, two NYC-based artists living in the same apartment complex, trying to determine if their in too messy a situation...

Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi’s “Entergalactic,” the rapper’s sprawling Netflix special that accompanies his eighth studio album of the same name, is proof that the multihyphenate can “do what he wants.”
The otherworldly animated Netflix special is an immersion into a New York City that drips with milky way hues, tactile textures, wavy synths and the adrenaline rush that comes with experiencing ardent young love. A passion project and labor of love from the artist, who invited many of his real-life friends to lend their voices to the show, “Entergalactic” took several years to make, initially conceptualized as a season-long series with six to eight installments and only one animated episode.
“For a while, I had been sitting on this idea of wanting to do an anthology [where] each season would have a certain theme,” Mescudi told TheWrap. “This first season that I was developing in my mind, the theme was love.

When Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi asks you to create an animated New York City for a TV special revolving around his new album, you don’t say no. But when Fletcher Moules was hired to direct “Entergalactic,” there was only a handful of song demos and a three-page outline for a modern love story that would accompany a new album by Kid Cudi. Still, there was enough there to make the creative juices flow. “I joined in the summer of 2019 and spent the back half of the first year just painting New York City,” Moules told IndieWire. “As I heard the songs and read the story that the writers’ room was finishing up, I was able to spend the time just really designing the city the way we wanted the characters to see it.”

From the beginning, Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi has approached his career as an artist who would sooner toil in obscurity than be renowned for just one thing. Just two years after dropping “A Kid Named Cudi,” the mixtape that launched him into the spotlight, he was cast in “How to Make It in America,” a short-lived HBO-originals deep cut. In the decade since that show ended in 2011, he’s earned a reputation for bouncing willy-nilly between genres, mediums, and disciplines, and the choices that once seemed fickle now seem confidently eclectic.
Never has Mescudi looked more like a polymath than with the debut of “Entergalactic,” an animated Netflix special timed to the release of his new studio album (also dropping on Sept. 30), which bears the same title. “Entergalactic” was initially announced in 2019 as a series to be created by Mescudi and Kenya Barris, but has since been whittled down to...

Things are going pretty great for Jabari. He's recently moved into a huge apartment in Manhattan -- the kind of place he would have dreamed up as wildly unrealistic as a kid. He's a gifted artist, and his graffiti creation of Mr. Rager has taken the city by storm, so much so that a comic book company has brought Jabari on board to turn his creation into their next big event. His newfound success is exciting, but Jabari is grounded in reality and isn't the kind of guy to spend his paycheck as soon as he's got it. He's deeply modest, which makes him feel likable, the kind of guy that you'd want to pick their brain over a delicious meal.
It's smooth sailing for Jabari, but he can't shake the feeling that something is missing, a nagging loneliness that keeps him up at night in his vast new space.

Netflix has set September 30 for the premiere of Entergalactic, the adult-animated music series based on the upcoming album of the same name by rapper, singer and actor Kid Cudi. The series hails from Kenya Barris and Scott Mescudi, better known by his stage name Kid Cudi, who also stars. The date was announced Wednesday during Netflix’s Animation Showcase at the Annecy International Film Festival. You can watch the date announcement teaser above.
Entergalactic will showcase music from Kid Cudi’s album. The series follows a young artist named Jabari, voiced by Mescudi, as he attempts to balance love and success. Finding the latter brings Jabari a step closer to the former, when moving into his dream apartment introduces him to his new neighbor, photographer it-girl, Meadow, voiced by Williams. An explosion of art, music, and fashion, Entergalactic takes place in the only city that can handle all three: New York.

Netflix is producing an interesting new animated comedy series for adults called Agent King and it will center around Elvis Presley. The series was co-created by Priscilla Presley and John Eddie, and it’s being developed by Sony Pictures Animation, Sony Pictures Television and Authentic Brands Group.
In the series, “Elvis trades in his white jumpsuit for a jet pack when he is covertly inducted into a secret government spy program to help battle the dark forces that threaten the country he loves — all while holding down his day job as the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.”
I’m 100% on board with this series! This sounds like it could be an incredibly awesome and fun show to watch and Presley had this to say in a statement:
“From the time Elvis was a young boy he always dreamed of being the superhero fighting crime and saving the world — Agent King lets him do just that.

Though it wasn’t a deafening defeat, Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters wasn’t a resounding success, either. All sexist nonsense aside, the film performed only average at the box office, casting doubt upon the future of the new franchise it was supposed to kick off. And while it seems unlikely we’ll be seeing the women of last summer’s movie suit up again anytime soon, we do know that the show will go on, in a sense.
In an interview with io9, the original film’s director and new franchise producer Ivan Reitman admitted that while the future is still a little up in the air, he’s got a plan to get it going forward.

Last year came word that Sony Pictures was getting ready to milk the "Ghostbusters" franchise for all its worth with not only the Paul Feig-directed, female-centric reboot of the property already filming but also a Channing Tatum-led male-centric one in development at the studio.
That project had Joe and Anthony Russo, the "Captain America: Winter Soldier" directors, attached. However, with their commitments to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, many were wondering how they would get the time to direct. Talk of that male-centric "Ghostbusters" spin-off has since died down, and Joe Russo tells Forbes that they're no longer involved:
"There is no status with that for us. There was a period there when Paul Feig was engaging Sony in talks about Ghostbusters and we were also engaging them. He was further along with his process than we were and he closed his deal so that's the only Ghostbusters world...

Fletcher Moules will be making his feature directorial debut on the Ghostbusters animated production. He’s come to prominence for directing the assorted Clash Of Clans commercials that have been attracting acclaim in recent times. It’s unclear yet whether the film will lean closer to the stylings of The Real Ghostbusters animated series (ah, we miss that), or whether Moules and his team have another direction in mind.

Looks like we really are getting that expanded Ghostbusters "universe", as THR reports that a director has boarded Sony Pictures' planed animated feature. According to them, Fletcher Moules (the popular Clash Of Clans commercials) will oversee the project as both animator and director. The question is, which team will he be bringing to life? If this is to be in continuity with the live-action reboot it's unlikely we'll see Egon, Ray, Winston and Peter again - but it could focus on some brand new characters, as THR also confirms that another big-screen Ghostbusters flick is in the works that could star Channing Tatum, with Joe and Anthony Russo (Captain America: Civil War) on board to direct and produce. What do you guys think? With Ghostbusters co-creator Ivan Reitman producing, is there hope for this one?...

Sony is going all-in on the Ghostbusters franchise, working with Ivan Reitman's newly-formed Ghost Corps company to create a cinematic universe that encompasses Paul Feig's upcoming reboot, a possible Channing Tatum film with Chris Pratt co-starring, and a bunch of other projects, too. One of those is an animated Ghostbusters movie, and now that film has found its director.
THR reports that a guy named Fletcher Moules will direct, and though that name won't sound familiar, you've probably seen his most well-known work: he's the one who animated and directed the popular Clash of Clans commercials, one of which has been viewed over 90 million times on YouTube (watch it below). Reitman will produce, but there's no word on whether the movie will be reminiscent of the animated series The Real Ghostbusters, which ran from '86 to '91, or if it will include any of the characters from the films.

Rising animator Fletcher Moules ("Clash of Clans" commercials) has signed on to direct the upcoming animated "Ghostbusters" film currently in the works at Sony Pictures.
The project, which joins the upcoming live-action female-centric revival launching in July this year, will be produced by Sony Pictures Animation and Ivan Reitman.
The project is thought to be one that came out of the Ghost Corps, a collective with Reitman and Dan Aykroyd that is looking into the expansion of the franchise into a cinematic universe. Another is the still in development film which will potentially star Channing Tatum and be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo.

Sony Pictures’ Ghostbusters empire continues to expand. Not content with its upcoming all-female revival, the studio had been quietly developing a Ghostbusters animated movie via its Sony Pictures Animation, and that project has taken one step closer to reality. Fletcher Moules, the rising animator and helmer behind the hugely popular animated Clash of Clans commercial spots, has signed on to direct the movie. Ivan Reitman, co-creator of Ghostbusters and one of the stewards of the franchise, would act as one of the producers. Sony, a studio with fewer franchises than some of its rivals, is betting big with Ghostbusters. Apart
