Animated Adaptations Of “Edgeworld” & “Fruit” In Development

 

Hawkeye Pictures and Big Jump Entertainment have teamed up to develop Brian Francis’ Fruit as an animated series.

Peter Paddington is your typical thirteen-year-old paperboy with a few exceptions. He’s 204 pounds, at the mercy of an overactive imagination, and his only friend is a trash-talking beauty queen reject from across the street. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Peter’s nipples pop out one day and begin speaking to him, threatening to expose his private fantasies to an unkind world.

Amazon Studios has announced that an animated adaptation of the Edgeworld comic series is currently in development from comic creators Chuck Austen (King of the Hill) and illustrated by Patrick Olliffe.

On the edge of known space, on the backwater, frontier planet of Pala, magistrate Killian Jess, and native Palan Cheela fight to protect a planet, and people, the rest of the galaxy has forgotten. Battling military occupation, alien invasions, otherworldly infestations, drug running, gang violence, black market traders, and the disastrous, ecological aftermath of a brutal, planet-wide war, they must learn to work together and collect any allies they can from the castoffs, misfits and aliens occupying Pala, in order to save the world they love.
