The Whitest Kids U' Know's MARS
In MARS, Kyle Capshaw wins a sweepstake for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to join billionaire Elron Branson on a voyage to Mars, along with four other winners. Unfortunately, he entered in order to escape his miserable career, his violently insecure soon-to-be-bride, and a secret hobby that nobody would ever understand. But things go wrong almost immediately, and soon Kyle and his fellow amateur astronauts find themselves stranded, horny, and increasingly feral. The long-awaited all-new animated feature film written and starring the legendary sketch comedy group, The Whitest Kids U'Know, MARS will delight fans, horrify parents, and make any significant others re-evaluate their relationships.
The Whitest Kids U' Know was a popular sketch comedy group best known for their television series that ran on IFC from 2007 to 2011. The group consisted of writers and cast members Trevor Moore, Zach Cregger, Sam Brown, Timmy Williams, and Darren Trumeter. No stranger to the spotlight, troupe member Zach Cregger has blossomed into one of the hottest directors in Hollywood today. After exploding onto the horror scene with the sleeper hit Barbarian, his success only continued with the global phenomenon Weapons, which is currently nominated for an Academy Award.
MARS was conceived during the production of the original sketch series, which was often held in the same high regard as Saturday Night Live, Kids in the Hall, and SCTV. MARS was directed and produced by filmmaker, animator, and FX artist Sevan Najarian, whose credits include Mystery Science Theater, Adult Swim's Children's Hospital, and an extensive array of animated projects from Channel 101 fame.
