About Malevolent:
The cast of Coverage Ink Films’ upcoming animated horror feature film Malevolent includes William Shatner as The Overseer, the film’s narrator and voice of unreason, Morena Baccarin, Ray Wise, Dani Lennon, and Bill Moseley.
The 2D hand-drawn, time-ripping horror film is described as “Saw meets Groundhog Day” and is being directed by Jason Axinn (Starpocalypse). Malevolent, Coverage Ink Films’ first feature, has an expected completion date of mid-2016.
Malevolent is about a young woman named Miriam (Lennon), who works for a non-profit which promotes global peace initiatives. This is in reaction to her estranged father — sociopath US war profiteer and billionaire Cyrus DeKalb (Wise). When he learns he is dying, Cyrus calls Miriam and her three siblings together, ostensibly to discuss his will. However, what he actually has planned is to pronounce judgement on them all. They are, in his view, traitors; and he has elaborate death traps planned for each of them.
The wrinkle is: A race of intergalactic gamblers, who wager on human conflicts as bloody sport, have chosen Miriam as their protagonist for this match. Thus, the entire situation is being manipulated by the Gamemaster (Baccarin), who has the power to call fouls, reverse time, and reconfigure events as they play out. And so the playing field is constantly changing under Miriam’s feet — sometimes to her benefit, but usually not.
