First Teaser for Dark Superhero Animated film THE PRODIGIES

If I were to sum up the teaser trailer to Antoine Charreyron's The Prodigies (french title: La Nuit des enfants rois) in just a few words, I would say think superheroes gone mad. Instead of using their super powers for the good of humankind, the angst teenagers wreak mass havoc to an entire city. Adapted from Bernard Lenteric's bestselling novel of the same name, the french animated film has been in the work by Onyx Films/Precision Films for several years and now its almost ready for arrival.

NYC, Central Park, 2010. Five young teenagers are violently assaulted. But they're not your average teenagers... they're prodigies. The trauma of the assault incites them to lash out against the world in a cold and calculating way. The five chillingly brilliant minds come together to concoct a perfect revenge. The only person aware of the pending doom is Jimbo Farrar, a sixth prodigy, who has gathered them. As long as he fights against his five counterparts with all his might, there's hope for the world. But should he turn over to their side, it's only a matter of time before a disaster of apocalyptic proportions ensues...

Warner Bros France has push the theatrical release date to May 25th.  You'll find the 1-minute trailer embedded below.
