‘Arcane’ Animation Studio Fortiche Production Preps Sci-Fi Feature ‘Penelope of Sparta,’ Inspired by Greek Mythology (EXCLUSIVE)
'Penelope of Sparta' will be Fortiche's first original feature, directed by Jérôme Combe and Silvia Martelossi.
According to Fortiche, “‘Penelope of Sparta’ will utilize the studio’s unique graphic signature – mixing 2D with a painted visual made in 3D – that has proven appeal among animation fans worldwide and garnered multiple critical acclaim.” Further reinforcing the “Arcane” connection, “Penelope of Sparta” is being developed with screenwriter Amanda Overton, an executive story editor for nine episodes of the Emmy and Annie-winning Netflix series. Set in a world inspired by ancient Greece, it will follow the seventeen-year-old as she attends an elite high school with other famous characters of lore, including Achilles, Helen, Circe, Agamemnon and Odysseus.
