Streamer MoistCr1TiKaL is self-funding a theatrical animated movie adaptation of his comic Godslap, scheduled for release in 2028 with animation by Powerhouse.
Content creator Charles White, widely known as MoistCr1TiKaL, is taking the leap from streaming screens to the big screen. He recently announced a full-length animated movie adaptation of his comic series, Godslap, slated for a theatrical release in 2028. The initial teaser showcased striking, anime-infused visuals handled by Powerhouse Animation, the studio behind Netflix hits like Castlevania: Nocturne. According to IGN, White is acting as the sole financier for the project, pouring millions of his own money into the production after nearly a decade of dreaming about the adaptation.
The narrative follows a young man named Aius who possesses an absurdly powerful slapping ability, prompting his overprotective father to keep him sheltered on a remote farm. That premise sets the stage for a high-stakes journey into the wider world, blending humor with intense action. Co-developed alongside Lyrical Animation, the creative team describes the source material as one of the most surprising and urgent comics of the last decade. For White, who previously lent his voice to projects like Dispatch and Baki, this marks a massive milestone in a career deeply rooted in online entertainment culture.
This move highlights a broader shift in how major digital creators are leveraging their massive audiences to break into traditional Hollywood spaces. Following in the footsteps of fellow creators pushing independent cinematic projects, White proves that modern influencers are increasingly positioned to fund and steer major entertainment ventures on their own terms. Fans can expect more casting and behind-the-scenes details to roll out as production continues over the next few years leading up to the 2028 premiere.
