Adi Shankar Announces Live-Action/Animated Hybrid “The Guardians of Justice”

A brand-new hybrid series from Adi Shankar is in production called The Guardians of Justice which will be a seven-episode parody of superhero movie tropes. The cast includes Diamond Dallas Page, Sharni Vison, Derek Mears, Christopher Judge, Jane Seymour, RJ Mitte, Denise Richards, Hal Ozsan, and Andy Milonakis.

The alien superhero MARVELOUS MAN has kept the earth at peace for 40 years. But when a devastating secret and its tragic consequences throws our world into chaos, it’s up to Marvelous Man’s bitter, violent lieutenant KNIGHT HAWK and idealistic do-gooder THE SPEED to stop nuclear war. A dark satire of the superhero genre, Guardians of Justice mixes live action with traditional animation, claymation, cut out paper animation, and 8-bit video game footage in a kaleidoscope of pop art insanity.

Different animation mediums will be employed including clay, paper, 8-bit, and traditional. Adi says in a post that he has been working on this project for almost seven years and is slated to hit Netflix soon and will make it’s debut during Cannes next month.
