Sneak Peek the new Frank Frazetta-inspired concept art, promoting the developing, live-action motion picture update of the Ralph Bakshi/Frank Frazetta 1983 animated feature "Fire And Ice".
The project is currently set up at producer Robert Rodriguez' Troublemaker Studios.
Budgeted at $1.2 million, the original PG-rated "Fire And Ice", was a unique collaboration between director Bakshi ("Fritz The Cat") and fantasy illustrator Frazetta.
Based on characters Bakshi and Frazetta co-created, the film made use of live-action 'rotoscoping', that was then embellished by Frazetta.
The original screenplay was written by Marvel Comics' "Conan" writers Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas :
"...From their stronghold in 'Icepeak', the evil 'Queen Juliana' and her son 'Nekron' send forth a wave of glaciers, forcing humanity to retreat south towards the equator.
"Nekron sends a delegation to 'King Jarol' in 'Firekeep' to request his surrender.
"But this is merely a ruse orchestrated by Queen Juliana for Nekron’s sub-humans to kidnap Jarol’s daughter, 'Princess Teegra'...."
Producer Frazetta was actively involved in the film's pre-rotoscoping live-action sequences, from casting sessions to the final shoot, ensuring that the depictions of women, heroes, villains and creatures would conform to his style.
