Tubi Announces PASTACOLYPSE Premiere Date
Tubi has announced a May 21st premiere date for new feature-length animated film Pastacolypse from “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” co-creator Matthew Maiellaro.
PASTACOLYPSE is a father-daughter survivalist horror comedy, cooked up from the most ludicrous premise on Earth: a billionaire celebrity chef seeks revenge on all mankind when a global ban on gluten destroys his life. In the process, Alfredo Manicotti is disfigured into a hideous creature, half-man, half-macaroni, and leads a pasta uprising that threatens all of humanity. It’s up to his spoiled heiress daughter, the angel-haired Emma, to make the ultimate sacrifice and save the world from the impending PASTACOLYPSE.
The film was ordered as a run of three adult animated “made-for-TV” animated films all ordered by Tubi which also includes MILLENNIAL HUNTER, from comedian and actor Sam Taggart; and BIG BRUH, from writer, stand-up comic and DUNCANVILLE co-producer Jerron Horton.
Matthew Maiellaro is also working on a revival of Aqua Teen Hunger Force which was ordered earlier this year by Adult Swim.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
