\n\tEXCLUSIVE:\u00a0Lyrical Animation<\/a> is producing a film adaptation of\u00a0Godslap<\/a>, the comic created by prominent YouTuber and streamer Charlie \u201cMoistCr1TiKaL<\/a>\u201d White, alongside White\u2019s Meatier Productions.<\/p>\n

\n\tGodslap\u00a0follows an 18-year-old farm boy raised in hiding by a father who calls his extraordinary power a curse. After losing everything in a single night of rebellion, he must decide whether the force living in his hands makes him a monster or the only person alive capable of bringing down the corporation that owns the world.<\/p>\n

\n\tKellan Stover is directing the 2D hand-drawn animated film from a script by Lyrical\u2019s Creative Director, Daniel Dominguez, and Head of Lyrical Animation<\/a>, Jacob Robinson. The Austin-based Powerhouse Animation Studios (Castlevania) is handling animation. Production is already underway, with the film slated for release in 2028. White has unveiled a teaser, which you can check out above.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith more than 25 million followers across platforms, White is known for content revolving around video games and internet culture that generates approximately 145 million views each month. His YouTube videos average 1.8 million views, with his nightly livestreams drawing an average of 15,000 concurrent viewers.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhite\u2019s original\u00a0Godslap\u00a0comic has sold more than 100,000 copies and is available worldwide. He told us, \u201cIt\u2019s always been a dream of mine to make an animated movie, especially with a studio like Powerhouse, so I couldn\u2019t be more excited. We\u2019ve got an amazing team and I can\u2019t wait for everyone to see what we\u2019re making.\u201d<\/p>\n

News of the film follows word at this year\u2019s CinemaCon of Lyrical Animation adapting the hit video game\u00a0Bloodborne\u00a0for film alongside PlayStation Productions and creator\/gamer Se\u00e1n McLoughlin (aka Jacksepticeye). Parent company Lyrical Media is co-financing that project alongside Sony Pictures.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve been longtime fans of Charlie, so getting the opportunity to bring his anime-inflected, hilariously violent comic Godslap to life was a dream come true,\u201d Lyrical\u2019s Dominguez said. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the funniest, most non-stop surprising, and thematically urgent comics to come out in the last decade, and a perfect story to adapt as an animated feature.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFounded in 2021, Lyrical Media is known for its work on titles including\u00a0Bruiser,\u00a0How to Blow Up a Pipeline,\u00a0Mother, Couch\u00a0and\u00a0The Death of Robin Hood.
