American Gods opening titles are here!
One month away from it’s premiere, Starz has released the opening titles for the highly anticipated original series American Gods, produced by FremantleMedia North America. The titles were created by Elastic. Fans can get a first look at the opening sequence for the series which pairs Old and New God relics in a totem of gigantic proportions.
Read what Co-Showrunners and Executive Producers Bryan Fuller and Michael Green said about the opening titles:
“Is it strange to want action figures from a main title sequence? Crucified astronauts, neon cowboys and S&M centaurs, we bow to Elastic and their spectacular vision. A totem of godly visions we didn’t know we needed to worship until they showed us the light with this clarion call to the ‘American Gods’.”
In case you are on the dark about this new promising series, read the series’ synopsis below and check out Five Reasons We Can’t Wait for Starz’ “American Gods” to get even more prepared for the big premiere.
“American Gods” posits a different kind of war brewing—one between Old Gods and New. The traditional Old Gods, with mythological roots from around the world, fear irrelevance as their believers die off or are seduced by the money, technology, and celebrity offered by the New Gods. Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) is an ex-con who, left adrift by the recent death of his wife, becomes bodyguard and traveling partner to conman Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane). But in truth, Mr. Wednesday is a powerful old deity, on a cross-country mission to build an army and reclaim his lost glory.
Adapted from the award-winning novel by Neil Gaiman, “American Gods” stars Ricky Whittle as Shadow Moon; Ian McShane as Mr. Wednesday; Emily Browning as Laura Moon, Pablo Schreiber as Mad Sweeney, Yetide Badaki as Bilquis, Bruce Langley as Technical Boy, Crispin Glover as Mr. World and Orlando Jones as Mr. Nancy.
