A new post-apocalyptic drama Web series is set to debut on the Web (no release date seems to be given) with the promise of bringing a quality to the medium we have yet to see.

People behind The Coat, a French creation, promise it will be a feast for the eyes.

Moving Pictures Film & Television is making its foray into the area of new media by teaming with three French filmmakers to create and produce an original web series, The Coat, a post-apocalyptic drama.

…Seven six-minute webisodes have already been shot in France, with a further five either in production or preproduction. The 12-part series is targeted at young males. The Coat revolves around the survivor of a wave on inexplicable global catastrophes. The series was created by France-based artists Mathieu Cailliere, director of a number of short movies; Benoit Lamouche, film director and former ad agency artistic director; and Sebastien Petitjean, comics author, illustrator, graphic artist and short-movie director.

Moving Pictures has teamed up with Will Marks, former VP of business development at Comcast Entertainment Group, who remarked, “The Coat completely raises the bar for a web video series. It has layers of mystery worthy of Lost, the style and terror of Cloverfield, and a mythology as rich as The X-Files.”

Here is the trailer:

Personally, I don’t speak French, but, I have to admit, that trailer looked so visually stunning that I will be checking this series out.
