MONDO to dub French series “LastMan” into English
MONDO has acquired the rights for LastMan’s English television broadcasting. The redub and revamp will be overseen by Bill Schultz (The Simpsons, King of the Hill). "LastMan is authentic – an incredible blend of visual style and sophisticated story, a series that has engaged a truly passionate fan base in its native France, and we think will attract an equally enthusiastic reception here in the US,” Schultz says.
(From Animation Magazine) “LastMan (26 x quarter-hour) follows a talented young boxer and mixed martial arts fighter named Richard Aldana who, out of loyalty, becomes the guardian of his murdered best friend’s daughter, Siri. He is then drawn into a supernatural web of danger when a violent religious sect called The Order of the Lion comes after the young girl, believing her to be the key to the “other world.” The story is set 10 years before the events of the best-selling comics.”
“LastMan is a pulse-pounding action and sci-fi thriller that perfectly embodies our belief that animation can be daring, exciting, bold and challenging,” said Brendan Burch, chief creative officer of MONDO.
