Petrol Head, an excellent drag-racing robot sci-fi adventure by Rob Williams and Pye Parr, has been optioned for film by Lee Brazier of Mr. B Films. The news arrives the very same day the trade paperback of Petrol Head lands in comic shops. The story is primed for a theatrical debut, considering that movies like Mad Max, and Fast and the Furious are huge audience draws.
Petrol Head is a dystopia sci-fi race series mixing climate crisis commentary with the tale of a bruising robot named Petrol Head who has an engine for a head.

Rabbit Hole Studios’ credits include VFX Producers on X-Men: Days of Future Past and Co-Producer/VFX Producers on ATLAS & RED NOTICE.
