Oban Star Racers Creator Teases New “The 2 Queens”
"How did two frail young women manage to rule Europe? Why did they become deadly enemies?"
Sav! The World Productions (Oban Star Racers) are back with a new international co-production. The 2 Queens would bring together a unique team of top European and Japanese artists, including animator Toshiyuki Inoue (Akira; Blood, the Last Vampire), character designer Bahi JD (Kids on the Slope) , art designer art desiger Thomas Romain (AKB0048, Aria) and writer/director Savin Yeatman-Eiffel (Oban Star-Racers).
“The 2 Queens traces the relentless rise to power of two fascinating women (Fredegonde and Brunehilde) in the dark hours of the Early Middle Ages — and the merciless rivalry that pits them against one another until their dying breath.”
Developed as a feature film trilogy, as well as a drama television series, a teaser has been produced for Tokyo Anime Fair in hopes of attracting investors.
Sav! The World Productions’ French/Japanese co-production Oban Star Racers aired in the US on ABC Family and Jetix/Toon Disney and was released on DVD by Shoot! Factory.
