Spermageddon is a 2024 Norwegian adult computer-animated musical comedy film directed by Tommy Wirkola and Rasmus A. Sivertsen. The film consists of two plot lines, one focusing on a teenage couple having sex for the first time, and the other on Simon the Semen and his friends in quest for the Egg.[2][3]
The film has been reported to be "in the veins of Sausage Party" and described by Wirkola as "both a road movie and an epic adventure ... much like Lord of the Rings".[2] Producer Kjetil Omberg likened it to South Park and Checkered Ninja, saying it targets "elder kids and adults".[1]
Production
In June 2021, the production was reported to begin "in the fall".[1] It was in production as of May 2022.[4] In March 2024, Wirkola said the film was in post-production.[5]
Release
Spermageddon was being sold for local distributors at the Marché du Film of the 2022 Cannes Film Festival by the international sales agent Charades.[4][6] It screened for prospective buyers at the 2024 edition.[7]
The film premiered at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on 10 June 2024, under its Midnight Specials section.[8][9] It is set for release in the Nordics on 10 January 2025 by Nordisk Film and SF Studios,[10][11] and has been sold for Adriatics, Austria, Baltics, Bulgaria, CIS, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Thailand.[11]
