Dexter: Early Cuts Animated Webisodes Trailer
When The Wachowski Brothers first announced plans for The Animatrix back in 2002/2003, I thought the idea of releasing short animated episodes online in order to promote an upcoming movie was pretty innovative. Since then, the idea has been hijacked and re-used by plenty of other movies and TV shows, but the quality seems to be slowly diminishing (although I’ll admit Batman: Gotham Knight had its moments). Now the latest property to jump on the animated webisode bandwagon is Showtime’s popular drama Dexter.
Starting this month, Showtime will begin releasing a series of twelve short animated prequels online under the name Dexter: Early Cuts. The idea is to delve into Dexter’s formative years, where his adoptive father Harry teaches him “The Code”. Michael C. Hall will voice the main character, but I’m not sure if there are any big names studios or directors involved in the production. A teaser trailer has been released online this week, and if anything, it makes the animation look pretty minimal, more akin to the Watchmen motion comics. Have a look at the teaser trailer after the jump and see what you think.
