Speaking of...


...Rob Zombie, my buddy Kev also clued me into an animated film based on one of his comic books that will see the light of day at some point on DVD.

'The Haunted World of El Superbeasto' follows the adventures of the crime-fighting secret agent El Superbeasto (Tom Papa), a retired luchadore who has more interest in strippers than adventure, but still manages to get involved with murdering super-intelligent gorillas, Liverpudlian zombies, and Dr. Satan (Paul Giamatti), a manic depressive mad scientist with a penchant for finding the perfect woman. Joining El Superbeasto on his escapades is his sister, Suzie X (Sherri Moon Zombie), a sexy, sultry super-spy adventurer, and her sidekick, a 10-foot tall robot named Marvin (Brian Posehn), an avid fan of Barry Manilow and Michael Bolton.

"It's a beautiful-looking movie," Zombie said in a radio interview "All these animators from studios like Disney came to work on it, and [they're thrilled because] they get to work on something filthy. It's probably rated XXX now, but we'll have to cut it back to an R."

Sweet. Luchadores, monsters, robots, mad scientists, sexiness, sultriness...where do I sign up? No actual release date as of yet, but they've got a website up HERE where you can see a little more of some of the characters and (for now) little else. Looks like the short-lived comic book series that inspired it was released in it's entirety as a graphic novel back in May from IMAGE COMICS. I'll have to check that out as well and keep my eye out for a trailer once it's available.

This sounds like it could be cool. Plus the cartoonachick in the black number is kind of hot.
