evidently jean geraud, a.k.a moebius, is finally getting a chance to create his very own animated film. if you’ve never heard of him you have at very least been exposed to some of his work without knowing it. first and foremost he is one of the true greats of comic art (in my humble opinion at least) but his production designs have been utilized in aliens, the abyss, the fifth element, tron, and indirectly blade runner. in the 70’s and 80’s he contributed often to heavy metal (now dominated by simon bisley) and created erotica (some published by the imprint eurotica, which was home to milo manara) he has seemed cursed when it comes to film. not only because multiple projects fizzled, but because the one animated film he was heavily involved in, time masters, turned out to be pretty goofy, not even coming close the amazing french production which preceded it by 10 years, fantastic planet. hopefully thru the moebius strip will have better luck. one other interesting note, this film will be the first digital animation created in china.
