Genndy Tartakovsky's 'Black Knight' Test Footage Reveals Giant Knight vs. Ninja
Animator Genndy Tartakovsky, renowned for his diverse projects, has shared test footage from his latest film, Black Knight. The clip showcases a giant medieval knight battling a ninja-style opponent, sparking curiosity about the project's direction. Tartakovsky, who has previously worked on both mainstream and unconventional projects, is using this tactic to generate buzz and influence the studio's decision. He previously employed a similar strategy for a planned Popeye movie, using test footage to build enthusiasm. The test footage, released without the studio's knowledge, features a giant knight, or medieval mech suit, fighting a smaller ninja-style opponent. The studio that initially picked up the Black Knight project in 2018 was Sony Pictures Animation in Hollywood, California. However, it remains to be seen how this move will play out for Tartakovsky and the project's future. Tartakovsky's test footage for Black Knight has generated intrigue and discussion among fans. While the outcome of his approach remains uncertain, it's clear that the animator is passionate about bringing his unique vision to the screen.
