About the production
A comedy about fame after the fame has gone.
The pitch
When the copyright on a forgotten 1930s comic strip lapsed, animator Phil shamelessly revived Roxy for a hit video game. Then he cut one corner too many on a borrowed quantum computer, and she stepped out of the screen entirely.
For one glorious decade she was everywhere. Then the world got bored. Roxy did not get the memo.
The characters
Roxy. The last of the great stars, by her own account. Black and white, rubber-hose, indestructible, with zero talent and infinite confidence. She can pull almost anything out of her cleavage, including the occasional cannon.
Wayne. An ordinary, slightly neurotic nobody in his early forties, now paid to be Roxy's minder, with no qualifications and a company car. He would like a quiet life. He will not be getting one.
The world
Anywhere. Any city with a chat show, a tabloid and a cheap Italian restaurant with a strict no-outside-food policy.
Where it's at
The pilot script is complete, and an 11-minute proof-of-concept pilot has been shot and is in post-production.
