Genndy Tartakovsky Has a Date With the Knight

""Well, this might get me in trouble," he wrote. "But gotta try a new strategy." Tartakovsky shared approximately 1 minute of test animation for The Black Knight. He said he and his team started working on this movie six years ago. "We developed it for a few years, the studio liked what we were doing but they were unsure if there is an audience that would go see it theatrically," he wrote."

"The test footage shows a big ol' boy fighting a much smaller ninja warrior. It's that perfecty-timed action thing that Tartakovsky does best. "I won't share the details of the story except for one element, our Knight Armor is 20 feet high and controlled by a knight inside using ropes, pulleys, and levers," he wrote. "The setting is around the 14th century.""
