HUXLEY Goes To Hollywood
ARI ARAD OF ARAD PRODUCTIONS AND JEROME CHEN TO PRODUCE THE HUXLEY FILM
HUXLEY to become first ever Web3 project to hit the big screen
HUXLEY is launching from the metaverse into Hollywood with legendary producer Ari Arad of Arad Productions at the helm of the upcoming feature film. Arad will join Oscar nominated VFX artist Jerome Chen, leading the blockbuster adaption of the six-issue graphic novel series and Web3 project created by Halo Infinite senior concept designer Ben Mauro. Under Arad and Chen’s guidance, the story will soon leap from the panels of Mauro’s comics onto the silver screen. A milestone in the space, and a milestone here at FEATURE, as we power HUXLEY and the future of entertainment in Web3.
“Ben Mauro is immensely talented, and I’m looking forward to bringing the HUXLEY franchise to a global audience. Huxley shows the kind of creativity and innovation coming from the Web3 space,” says Ari Arad.
Ari Arad has played an integral role in the creation of the world’s most beloved IP based film franchises working on movies including Iron Man, Ghost Rider and more during his career at Marvel Studios and beyond. Currently, Arad has adaptations of hit video-game franchises coming to theaters with Uncharted and Borderlands. Alongside world-class visual effects supervisor Jerome Chen — known for his work on The Amazing Spider-Man, Suicide Squad, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and more — Arad brings a wealth of comic-to-film experience to the HUXLEY Universe, specializing in the adaption of IP at the largest scale.
“We’re honored to have Ari Arad be a part of this epic saga. Arad Productions has been fundamental in bringing the world’s best IP franchises to the box-office, and we look forward to sharing the HUXLEY Universe on the big screen. At Feature, we’re building multi-platform experiences across the meta and physical worlds, and we could not be more excited to usher in the future of Web3 entertainment alongside such a legendary force,” says FEATURE co-founder and CEO, Steven Ilous.”
HUXLEY is a multi-layered Web3 franchise that encompasses comics, a video-game, metaverse experiences and a variety of digital and physical collectibles, in addition to the new feature film. The project represents the culmination of Mauro’s many years of experience creating worlds, characters, and concept designs for the likes of Call of Duty, The Hobbit Trilogy, The Amazing Spiderman 2, and more. Mauro has been immersed in the world of HUXLEY for almost a decade, hand-drawing and writing the post-apocalyptic narrative in his home studio.
