According to "The Futon Critic", Fox has picked up a 30 minute animated special of Red Dead Redemption. The special will air at midnight on May 15.

Meanwhile, the network has booked "Red Dead Redemption," a half-hour animated film, for Saturday, May 15 at midnight/11:00c. John Hillcoat ("The Road") helmed the special, which is based on the video game of the same name due to be released on May 18. Here's how developer Rockstar Games describes the release: "America, early 1900's. The era of the cowboy is coming to an end. When federal agents threaten his family, former outlaw John Marston is sent across the American frontier to help bring the rule of law. Experience intense gun battles, dramatic train robberies, bounty hunting and duels during a time of violent change. Red Dead Redemption is an epic battle for survival in a beautiful open world as John Marston struggles to bury his blood-stained past, one man at a time." It replaces a repeat of "Brothers," which assumed the Saturday, midnight/11:00c slot this past weekend.
