In the meantime, Forts announced his next project, Penelope of Spartaan animated film currently in production, aimed at a teenage audience.
The film follows the growth of Penelope, the heroine of Homer’s Odyssey. In a world inspired by ancient Greece, it will follow the events of seventeen-year-old Penelope and her days in an elite school, where her classmates will be famous mythical characters: Achilles, Helen, Circe, Agamemnon and Ulysses. The students are all high ranking and the air will be competitive: everyone will try to undercut each other, but Penelope doesn’t want to listen to peer pressure and their goals, since she will be busy concentrating on a mission entrusted to her by her father, the King of Sparta: free the Spartans from the Athenian imperial grip.
It’s about the first original work from the French studio and it will be a science fiction film set in a world inspired by Greek mythology. Penelope of Sparta will be produced by the studio’s co-founder and producer Arcane, Jerome Combetogether with Silvia Martelossi, an animator of Trieste origins who has had the opportunity to work on major franchises such as The Grinch and is currently storyboard supervisor on the second season of Arcane at the studio Forts. The screenplay will be by Amanda Overtonalso a screenwriter for the series Riot Games. The animation style will be the one that has now become iconic of the studio which mixes 2D and 3D.
Combe he has declared “We burn with the desire to create something original and make a film that is aimed at cinemas, thanks to the success of Arcane. In the age where many projects are reboots or based on established franchises, our challenge is to create something original while still remaining within the scope of the “known” for our audience. That’s why we’re building on one of the most well-known titles of all time: everyone knows The Odyssey Of Homer. This allows us to use Fortiche’s unique experience and talent. Our new project delves into Penelope’s unknown origins, exploring who she was before she became what we know her today. The project is the result of a passion that combines our love for coming-of-age stories and science fiction.“
