Oakley’s new animated fiction film: ‘Future Genesis: Chapter One’

Oakley has released “Future Genesis: Chapter One,” an animated fiction film and an adaptation in the form of an ashcan preview comic by Dark Horse. Set in the aftermath of the original 1992 Max Fearlight film and preceding the teaser films released in 2023, this next chapter heralds a new era, channeling Oakley’s disruptive DNA into an evolutionary path of unleashed possibility.

Future Genesis is the journey to a protopian future, a world that is better today than yesterday. Oakley fuses its almost 50-year legacy with the momentum of a new generation, embracing a vision of hope and acceptance while remaining true to its DNA. This universe-building continues to reinvent the brand at every pillar —including storytelling, retail, and upcoming products.

“Chapter One follows Max Fearlight, symbolizing Oakley’s legacy, as he undergoes an evolution parallel to the brand,” shared Brian Takumi, VP of Creative & Soul at Oakley. “This is more than a story and a campaign; it is a framework with a brand vision translated towards a limitless future and into the real world. From the renovation of our Foothill Ranch Lobby and global stores to product design and innovation, it is the beginning of reimagining everything for Oakley.” 

Carving a new multimedia path ahead, Oakley progresses its storytelling in a new form by partnering with Dark Horse, one of the largest comic publishers in the US, to unveil a preview comic depicting the Future Genesis storyline and made available in late May.

“Partnering with Oakley for Future Genesis: Chapter One is an exciting opportunity for Dark Horse, and we are thrilled to bring the world of Future Genesis to life through this unique preview comic book,” said Cara O’Neil, Vice President of Marketing at Dark Horse Comics.
