Film Roman announces DOOMSDAY
Film Roman Inc. has entered into an agreement with Howard Stern Productions
and writer/producer Tracy Torme to create the animated sci-fi/comedy series
DOOMSDAY. While the concept was created by Torme, Howard Stern will play an
integral role in the development of the script and in the production of the
series, as well as provide the voice for one of the characters. Stern will
invite a number of his celebrity friends to appear as special guest voices
on
the show. DOOMSDAY tells the story of the Bradley family who travel in a
motor-home across a post-apocalyptic United States in search of a new home
and traditional family values. The Bradleys face a world turned upside
down, where danger and stupidity lurk behind the remains of a civilization
destroyed by a cataclysmic burst of radiation. According to Mark Lieber,
Film Roman's President of Television Programming, "This is the first of
many announcements Film Roman will be making over the next several weeks
that we believe will begin to position our company as a major supplier of
original animated and live-action programming." Film Roman is currently
producing THE SIMPSONS and KING OF THE HILL for 20th Century Fox
Television, THE DOWNTOWNERS for Warner Bros. Network, and is in
post-production on JOHNNY TSUNAMI, a live-action movie for The Disney
Channel currently scheduled to air in July. Additionally, Film Roman has a
number of live-action and animated feature films and television programs in
active development. Peabody Award-winning writer/producer Tracy Torme began
his career as a staff writer at SCTV and SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE and has since
gone on to write and produce for a variety of television series including
SLIDERS and STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, which he also created and
executive-produced for three seasons. He has also written and produced the
feature films SPELLBINDER, FIRE IN THE SKY and MIDNIGHT SKY. Torme
currently operates his own production company, Cheyenne 7 Productions.
Howard Stern is host of THE HOWARD STERN SHOW, a daily syndicated radio
talk show.
