Alright! We’re going to continue our Geeked Week Coverage with the biggest announcements of both Days, Two (Films), and Three (Animation), so sit back, and enjoy! Let’s begin with Day Two, the Film Slate!
The Sea Beast
Starting off our coverage is the newest film from Animated Film Director, Chris Williams (Moana, and Big Hero Six). The Sea Beast (not to be confused with the 1926 American Silent Film) is about a legendary sea monster hunter whose life is turned upside down when a young girl stows away on his ship. An interesting tactic for the Streaming service by offering it in Select Theaters in June, and on Netflix on July 8th.
Troll
Thankfully, this isn’t related to the 80s American Horror Film Series where you could beat them with a Double Decker Bologna Sandwich. It is a Norwegian folklore-inspired action-adventure about an ancient creature awakened after being trapped in a mountain for a thousand years and the unlikely group of heroes who must come together to try and stop it.
