Frederator Films: low budget, independent, 2-D animated movies aimed at a young male audience? An interesting idea that could work if they keep the overhead low enough.

First projects from the shingle:

- “Samurai Jack,” a feature version of the Cartoon Network skein. The creator, Genndy Tartakovsky, is attached to write and direct.

- “The Neverhood,” a claymation feature based on the DreamWorks videogame of the same name. Doug TenNapel, who created the game, is aboard to write and direct.

- “The Seven Deadly Sins,” a hip-hop project with Don King hired as the first voice actor.

I love Variety. “Shingle”? Wtf? Still, I’ll give all three of these projects a look if they ever get made. Good luck, dudes.
