Brian May's animated film 'One Night In Hell' to première on Halloween

Queen guitarist Brian May teamd-up with animation/production company Unanico Group to create an animated film called One Night In Hell, which will première - in the UK - on Halloween night. The film is based upon May's personal collection of Diableries: we're talking about a set of stereoscopic cards published in France from the early 1860s which feature visions of the underworld.
May already published a book (written with historians Paula Fleming and Denis Pellerin) titled "Diableries: Stereoscopic Adventures in Hell in 2013" and the animated film is an attempt to give life to the devils, skeletons and demons depicted in the set of cards.

"Diableries have been part of my life for nearly 50 years, since I first found one on a Portobello Road market stall, and I've continued to seek them out wherever I go in the world", the guitarist explained. And he gave little overview of the film's plot: "It's basically a day in the life of Satan in Hell. It's very tongue-in-cheek, because that's what the Diableries were – they started as a rather stern depiction of the religious teachings of the time, but evolved into a parody of those teachings, and into quite a hard and vicious satire on the regime of the day: it's amazing that they got away with it. In the film we've mainly concentrated on the personalities of the characters in the cards, and the thread through the film is this one little guy who arrives in Hell with a strange little suitcase under his arm, and it's about his journey through various rooms in Hell".
