JB Smoove (Curb your enthusiasm) is producing an animated comedy series based on the video game High on life.
High on life is a comedic first-person shooter game with action-adventure and Metroidvania elements. “It takes place in a sci-fi world that features talking guns and sees the fate of humanity in jeopardy after an alien cartel discovers that humans are the most powerful drug in the cosmos.
Smoove plays one of the characters in the video game, which also features the voices of Black Jack, Susan SarandonAND Thomas Middleditch.
JB Smoove said: “When Squanch Games first approached JB Smoove (I like to refer to myself in the third person) to voice a character in their amazing video game High On Life, my first question was: what would my character look like?
“They told me I was going to be a shooting fish… which makes perfect sense to me! As a vegan, I believe a fish should have the right to defend itself! I mean, right?!
“And now that I’ve partnered with Squanch Games and Striker Entertainment to bring the hilarious High On Life to series, it feels like it was inevitable! They invited me to join them in the video game universe, and now I’m helping them enter the world of TV!
“This is a case of a game recognizing a game! High on Life is wild, weird, and wonderful, and the series is going to be that and more! Get ready to laugh your ass off in space with some unforgettable characters like me! We’re pumped and ready to go!”
Executive producer Russell Binder added: “This is a hilarious video game that offers the perfect balance of action and story to keep players engaged and coming back for more.
“Celebrating the fact that JB Smoove is a narrator and a fan of the game, we thought we would look no further than to partner with Alternate Side Productions to adapt this title.
“With DLC, merchandise, and a publishing schedule, High On Life is tailor-made for multimedia storytelling and fan engagement.”
Last year, Smoove launched his own production company Alternate Side Productions and is currently developing the project with Squanch Games and Striker Entertainment.
