The MTV animated series created by Peter Chung garners some big names in its effort to bring the dubious heroine’s exploits to the non-animated big screen. MTV, Lakeshore Entertainment Group, and Paramount Pictures have pulled out all the stops on this one and signed on two award winning actresses in the strong female leads.
This feature is set 400 years in earth’s future. Beginning in 2011 waste and pollution have devastated the planet causing a new plague called Environmental Disease to run rampant destroying 99% of the world’s human population. With the exception for one walled and well protected city-state built by the 5 million survivors of the plague called Bregna, there is no other life to speak of. This city, ruled by a congress of scientists florishes to technological heights never before dreamed of and becomes the ideal of human perfection. Or is it?
