Breaking The Mould

Yesterday ComicBookPros released the first trailer for upcoming documentary “Bill Sienkiewicz: That Polish Guy” during their San Diego Comic-Con panel, giving fans a first look at the new project highlighting one of pop culture’s most unique and impactful artists…

Panelists Bill Sienkiewicz (“The New Mutants”), director Remsy Atassi (“The Legend of Kingdom Come”), and producer Sal Abbinanti (“The Legend of Kingdom Come”) discussed topics including Bill’s one-of-a-kind career and the process of making the documentary, followed by an audience Q&A. Fans in attendance received an exclusive film poster only available in person at San Diego Comic Con 2026.

“I’m incredibly excited about the documentary; it’s both humbling and nerve-wracking to see my life’s work splayed out on-screen accompanied by observations by so many of my creative heroes,” said Bill Sienkiewicz. “But more, I’m excited because the documentary discusses the obsessive need to make art,as part of the unifying human experience, a drive that defies language, place or even medium of choice. That drive is something we all share and I’m proud, in the words of the great Cormac McCarthy, to carry that fire.”

Titled after the nickname Bill received from legendary actor-director Clint Eastwood, “Bill Sienkiewicz: That Polish Guy” explores the life and career of the groundbreaking Polish-American artist. The film demonstrates Bill’s impact through interviews with industry luminaries including Vincent D’Onofrio, Kevin Smith, Peter Ramsey, Jim Lee, Denys Cowan, and many more across comics, film, and television, alongside a behind-the-scenes look at some of the iconic works that defined his career, including “Moon Knight,” “New Mutants,” “Elektra: Assassin,” and beyond.

“Bill has been incredibly influential in the comics, film, music, and beyond, and this trailer is a peek into a film that will let everyone experience the depth of his creativity and his untouchable legacy,” said producer Sal Abbinanti.
