Kid Cudi Set To Star In And Produce New Animated Feature 'Slime'

Published Wed, December 6, 2023 at 11:30 AM EST

High off the success of his critically-acclaimed animated feature film, Entergalactic, Kid Cudi is set to produce and star in the animated feature film, Slime.

Deadline reports Slime will mark the directorial debut of animator Jeron Braxton (Baby Demon). Brian Ash (The Boondox) will write the script and serve as executive producer. The project will arrive under Kid Cudi's production banner Mad Solar alongside Hammerstone Studios and Capstone Global.

Slime is described as a classic monster movie "decked out in fashion-forward video game skins that are wickedly satirical, scary as hell and trippy AF. In a not-too-distant, but all-too-dystopian future, Muna, an optimistic, but broke young woman, signs up for a paid medical trial. Hope turns to horror when she is unknowingly injected with a foreign creature’s slime and begins to have visions she does not understand and unleash destructive powers she cannot control. Hunted and desperate, Muna kidnaps Glenn (Mescudi), a lab worker from the mega-corporation who injected her. Together, they go on a terrifying odyssey in search of refuge and a cure. But is it already too late to stop her from evolving into a monster, a post-human savior, or something in between?"

Cudi expressed his excitement about the project in a statement to Deadline. “I’m always looking for what’s new and always trying to elevate what we know about music, film, TV and animation," he said. "Jeron is a powerhouse creative at the forefront of culture, pushing boundaries with everything he does. I’m grateful to have him on the team and am ready to see him bringSlimeto life. Mad Solar, we here."

This is the latest news about Cudi's growing involvement in various creative endeavors. The Cleveland native is also making his comic book debut with Moon Man, a contemporary reimagining of Miracleman. Cudi revealed his plans on Oct. 14 at New York Comic Con. Moon Man is set to debut on January 31, 2024 and was written by Cudi in partnership with artist and director Kyle Higgins.
