Jeron Braxton makes his feature debut with the previously announced animated monster movie Slime, which first enlisted Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi (X) to star. Deadline brings us further casting news on the project this week, reporting that Willow Smith (I Am Legend), Teyana Taylor (One Battle After Another), Anna Sawai (Shōgun), John Cho (Tempest) and John Boyega (The Woman King) will star alongside the singer/actor.
Deadline details, “Set in a too-near future, Slime follows Muna (Smith), an optimistic but broke young woman who signs up for a paid clinical trial, only to be injected with a mysterious creature’s slime that unleashes destructive powers she can’t control.
“On the run, she kidnaps Glenn (Mescudi), the lab worker who injected her, and the two set out on a perilous odyssey through a crumbling dystopian world in search of refuge and a cure.
“But as the clock runs out, is Muna transforming into humanity’s worst nightmare or its last, unlikely savior?”
The upcoming Slime is described as “an anime-inspired pre-apocalyptic sci-fi monster flick with retro video-game aesthetics.” The movie will feature an original score by Mescudi.
