Earlier this month, I posted some all-new art by "Street Angel" co-creator Jim Rugg that was used in a live-action short film based on the quirky indie series. "Street Angel" director Lucas Testro followed that up by sending Splash Page an exclusive clip from the movie (which you can watch below), framed by the following synopsis:

"Jesse has fought her way through Dr Pangea's ninja henchman, but now finds her way blocked by a set of locked doors as Pangea's laser is about to fire. With doomsday only seconds away, Jesse resorts to another way down -- a rusty, old ventilation duct to who-knows-where..."

"I don't know how much you remember of the original comics, but this sequence mirrors pretty closely the equivalent sequence in 'Street Angel' #1," wrote Testro. "It also shows some of the mixed-media we use in the film, combining live action with occasional animated sections."

What did you think of the clip? Have you read "Street Angel"? Sound off in the comment section!

Earlier this month, I told you about the live-action "Street Angel" movie based on the 2004 series by Jim Rugg and Brian Maruca. The story of a pre-teen, skateboarding martial artist who defends her turf against ninjas, time-traveling conquistadors and other crazy threats is a favorite of mine, and after posting the story, I heard from the film's director, Lucas Testro, who filled me in on a few more details about the film -- including the news that "Street Angel" co-creator Jim Rugg provided some brand-new art for animation sequences in the film.

Testro also gave Splash Page readers the first look at some of the art Rugg created for the film.

If you haven't picked up Jim Rugg and Brian Maruca's 2004 indie series "Street Angel," you're missing out on both a great comic and, apparently, the source material for a great little film. The quirky Slave Labor Graphics series, which chronicled the adventures of a homeless, 12-year-old skateboarding martial artist defending her turf in the ghetto of Angel City against mad scientists, ninjas, time-traveling conquistadors and various other baddies, has been turned into a short film by an Australian film school.

Go ahead and feast your eyes on the wild trailer for the film:

Directed by Lucas Testro and produced by Adam Bishop, "Street Angel" looks to be a lot of fun and, if there's any justice in the world at all, someday I'll actually be able to see it. Read More...
