 <\/p>\n

LOS ANGELES, CA (September 26, 2024) Scott Free and Mechanical Cake have partnered together for the launch of three original graphic novel series: Modville, Hyde, and Nick. Ridley Scott will lend his meticulous eye and unmatched world-building skills to the projects, announced Jesse Negron, CEO, Mechanical Cake.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ridley Scott said, “Mechanical Cake is a terrific company. They understand the art of graphic novels. As an artist and painter, these projects are exciting to me, and I look forward to collaborating with Jesse, Tom, Dave, and the Mechanical Cake team.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tom Moran, Senior VP Development & Production at Scott Free and overseer of the joint venture with Mechanical Cake added, "Ridley and Tony Scott are known as great filmmakers (Alien, Blade Runner, Top Gun, True Romance) but few people realize their shared first true love of painting and art is what drove both of them into filmmaking. For the first time in Scott Free’s history, we are excitedly diving into comics as a new way to explore art and storytelling."<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mechanical Cake has engaged comic book legend Dave Elliott, co-founder of Radical Comics, as Editor-in-Chief and enlisted top-tier artists Bill Sienkiewicz, Chris Weston, Dan Panosian, Brian Rood, Hendry Prasetya, and Eko Puteh.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Modville is a Sci-Fi\/Southern Gothic crime drama involving AI humans ("mods") in future New Orleans. Hyde imagines a world where Robert Louis Stevenson's “Mr. Hyde” did not die, and instead lives beneath the streets of London where he conducts experiments on others.  Nick is a foundational Yule war story, steeped within the arcane Norse legends. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Modville Book 1 of 8, over 100 pages, drawn by Hendry Prasetya and Eko Puteh, is complete and will be available for pre-order in March 2025, along with first-issue previews of Hyde and Nick. A sneak peek at all three projects is available at Mechanical Cake<\/a> (sign up for future updates).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mechanical Cake, headquartered in Los Angeles, is a production company formed in 2015 by Jesse Negron (CEO) and Tom Sanders (COO) to pursue the creation, acquisition, and development of breakthrough intellectual properties. Their mission is “Don’t worry about pleasing any of the people any of the time."<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
