The Killer Bean is baaaccccckkkkkkk! And this time in a full length feature film. For those unfamiliar with the old Killer Bean, its a CG animated short, featuring John Woo style gunplay. The action comedy was posted online several years ago by Jeff Lew, a self taught animator. What started out as an animation exercise would later become a sensation on the internet and with the wide spread attention it received somehow helped Jeff land a gig as a lead animator on the Matrix Reloaded. Not content with working as only an animator, he gave up the offer to work on the Matrix Revolutions to pursue his dream as a filmmaker. After four years of grinding away independently on the Killer Bean Forever, the three-quel is now almost complete and there is a trailer up at the official site. The videos section also contain the complete short of Killer Bean 2: The Party. At the present, the film is currently being submitted to several film festivals.

Hopefully we’ll be getting a feature length XIAO XIAO shortly thereafter.

Seriously, I respect that the man put so much time, money, and effort into what obviously meant a lot to him, and I wish him all the success in the world. But really, you sank your life savings into a feature-length KILLER BEAN? The absurdity of thinking that was a good idea actually makes the dedication to said idea all the more impressive. Hats off to you, you damned madman.

Exactly Rhythm-X. I hope for his sakes that it gets picked up.
It looked all right I guess but the comedy was a little flat for my taste, poor delivery and timing, especially in “Oh no you didn’t!” bit. But the end joke was funny.
