The main cast from the cult-classic film Napoleon Dynamite are reuniting for an animated series which will be released through blockchain technology.
According to a Sept. 27 report from Hollywood news outlet Deadline, the stars from Napoleon Dynamite have all signed on to voice characters in CyKo KO, an animated rendition of Rob Feldman’s comic book bearing the same name, with a 12-minute pilot to launch on Web3 streaming service Rewarded.TV.
Napoleon Dynamite is an indie-comedy from 2004 that developed a cult following across the globe despite being shot in just 22 days and having a limited budget of $400,000. The main cast includes Jon Heder, Tina Majorino, Efren Ramirez and Jon Gries.
Heder, who played Napoleon Dynamite, will take up the role of the main character who also bears the same name as the show. CyKo KO follows the story of a hero and his sidekicks who protect the colonies of “SuperEarth” from enemies and giant monsters. A 12-minute pilot is reportedly in the works at this stage.
As part of the fund raising process from the show, Rewarded.TV will host the sale of CyKo KO NFT card collectible packs on October 1.
The packs start at $59 a pop and were developed in partnership with Theta Labs. Hodler’s of the NFTs will gain access to all season 1 episodes of the series along with other shows and films on Rewarded.TV.
Monthly prizes and a chance to meet the cast of CyKo KO or to cameo in the pilot has also been touted.
The Web3 streaming platform enables users to earn RPLAY tokens and NFT rewards for time spent watching media, while people can also earn from launching their own content.
