With the new GODZILLA a few months away and the awesomeness of PACIFIC RIM still fresh on the minds of many, it’s safe to say giant monsters are all the rage. The new web series from Machinima titled ENORMOUS is based Tim Daniel and Mehdi Cheggour’s graphic novel of the same name. It explores the lives of humans in Phoenix trying to survive in a world that has already been affected by giant monsters… but the real monsters may by some of the other people they encounter. It’s written by TROLLHUNTER‘s Andre Ovredal and directed by COST OF LIVING‘s BenDavid Grabinski, and it even features a cameo by my buddy, DRIVE ANGRY screenwriter Todd Farmer (he’s the bald and bearded baddie). Take a look at the pilot below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
Starring Ceren Lee, Steven Brand, Billy Miller, Erica Gimpel, Garrett Coffey, Charles Melton, Dallas Liu, Joe Swanberg, Simon Barrett, Todd Farmer, and Nathan Moore.
