Around the World in 50 Years (nWave's Brussels produced)
StudioCanal and Universal Music Group (UMG) announced today a partnership for the upcoming 3D animated feature, Around the World in 50 Years. As part of this agreement, UMG will handle all North American theatrical, DVD, television and non-theatrical rights to the movie. Moreover, UMG will also handle the soundtrack album on a global basis. The film, "a buddy movie with turtles for the 21st century," is directed by Ben Stassen (Fly Me to the Moon) and is being produced at nWave's Brussels studio. The announcement of the deal follows straight after the film's presentation to an exclusive, invitation-only audience at Cannes, as part of the international sales rollout. The presentation - which included almost 15 minutes of spectacular "immersion" 3D footage - was crafted and presented by former Dreamworks marketing executive, Peter Dunne who has signed on as an animation consultant for Studio Canal. Olivier Courson, CEO of StudioCanal, said, "I am delighted about this partnership. We first approached our sister company Universal Music Group about the soundtrack which is so critical for an animated film, but Doug Morris (Chairman & CEO) was so enthusiastic that he decided not only to come on board for the music but also to become our partner for US distribution. We never even took the film to the market. This movie is another important step in our international production: 3D animation. We are happy to have partners within the Vivendi group who can bring together such a strong and diverse team of creative and marketing talent which this project deserves." Doug Morris commented, "When Jolene Cherry (Senior Vice President of A&R, Universal Records) first brought the film to my attention, I realized what a true gem it is. It combines the most innovative technology available today with great story-telling to convey an important environmental message. We are thrilled to be working with Olivier and his team on this important project." The soundtrack album to the movie will be created by Ms. Cherry and Vincent Herbert. Rodolphe Buet, EVP International Distribution for StudioCanal, stated, "We are thrilled to have secured such a great home for 'Around the World in 50 Years.' We have long recognized that international success in family entertainment relies on a great US release, and this deal allows us to begin work right away with our partners in putting together a first-class marketing, licensing and promotional campaign for the film." Harold Van Lier, StudioCanal's EVP, International Sales added, "With such a strong commitment from our US partner, and our own distribution in the major part of Europe, our sales campaign has got off to a really strong start, and I'm confident that we will secure our other distribution partners very quickly." Around the World in 50 Years will be released in North America and internationally in Q4 2010. ![]() ![]() thanks to giagia |

Monster Safari (Jim Henson Co. produced)
Writers go on Safari for Henson Sunday, June 07, 2009 By: Thomas J. Mclean The Jim Henson Co. has hired Craig Zobel and Matt Chapman to write the script for Monster Safari, a stop-motion animation film. A trio of directors — Mark Caballero, Chris Finnegan and Seamus Walsh — also have been signed on for the project, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The story is about monsters who come out of hiding and have to be saved from game hunters by bumbling crypto-zoologists. The project began as a short film from Screen Novelties that attracted the attention of execs at Henson. Zobel and Chapman similarly earned the gig based on a spec script the pair was shoppiong around.

Il progetto DreamWorks che prima era noto come "Super Secret Ghost Project" ora ha un nome e si chiama "Boo U."
Ecco un abbozzo di trama. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/conten...313aec569f21a55 DreamWorks attending 'Boo U.' Untitled ghost project aimed at a 2012 release By Jay A. Fernandez and Borys Kit June 18, 2009, 11:00 PM ET DreamWorks Animation must be spooked. The studio is pushing forward with a new untitled ghost project that is competing for a fourth-quarter 2012 release slot. The project, referred to internally as "Boo U.," recently picked up writer Jon Vitti ("The Simpsons Movie"), who will pen the screenplay. The story line centers on a ghost who is bad at his job and must return to ghost school. The project will be directed by Tony Leondis ("Igor") and executive produced by Gil Netter and Courtney Pledger. Another ghost-centric film, referred to as "Freakers," was being written by Joe Syracuse & Lisa Addario ("Surf's Up") and centers on a ghost story told from the ghosts' point of view, in their world. That project is no longer active. A third ghost-related story idea is in the pitch stage. In late May, DWA CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, whose contract recently was extended to 2013, said a "supersecret ghost project" was on the books for a potential late-2012 slot. "Boo U." is that project. "Puss in Boots" (March 30) and a third "Madagascar" movie (May) also are slated for release in 2012. The ghost picture would hit theaters Nov. 12, unless the caveman comedy "The Croods" or the Terry Pratchett adaptation "Truckers" makes the cut instead. Katzenberg has mandated that all future projects will be made in the 3D format. The studio's most recent 3D release, "Monsters vs. Aliens," has grossed $362 million worldwide. Vitti has been a writer and producer on "Saturday Night Live," "The Larry Sanders Show," "The Simpsons" and "King of the Hill." He also worked as a story consultant and writer on "Ice Age," "Robots," "Ice Age: The Meltdown," "Alvin and the Chipmunks," "Horton Hears a Who!" and "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel," which hits theaters Christmas Day. Leondis, repped by WME and Anonymous Content, has worked on the animated films "The Prince of Egypt," "The Road to El Dorado" and "Home on the Range."

Ripesco questo articolo di un pò di tempo fa che annunciava i prossimi progetti della Laika (la società dietro Coraline).
Molti di questi progetti sono in fase di stallo per via di mancati finanziamenti. Tuttavia il buon successo commerciale e di critica di Coraline fa ben sperare: http://www.variety.com/article/VR111798796...yid=13&cs=1 Laika unveils development slate Phil Knight's animation studio readies 'Coraline' By DAVID S. COHEN, PETER DEBRUGE Jun. 23, 2008 Laika's first toon, 'Coraline,' centers on a girl who happens upon a dark alternative world. 'Here Be Monsters!' book Phil Knight, whose Nike empire gives him an estimated worth of $7.9 billion, is bringing his muscle to showbiz, with ambitious plans for his Portland, Ore., animation studio to partner with a Hollywood major in a slate of toons. Laika, which does both CG and stop-motion features, was created when Knight stepped in to buy the former Will Vinton Studios, famous for the California Raisins, after the company had fallen on hard times. This fall the company is wrapping production on its first feature, the stop-motion "Coraline," helmed by Laika supervising director Henry Selick ("The Nightmare Before Christmas"). Laika is financing the film, based on the book by Neil Gaiman, with Focus Features to distribute. It is skedded for wide release beginning Feb. 6, 2009. Lead animator on "Coraline" and head of animation for Laika is Travis Knight, son of the Nike founder. Travis Knight was already working as an animator at Vinton when his father bought the company and rebranded it. Now, Laika is taking out three pitches, any one of which could be its next project. Ultimately, it may produce all three: * "Here Be Monsters!" from the books by Alan Snow, is a steampunk-flavored story set in a fantasy version of 1850s London. The hero is a 12-year-old who's grown up in an underground world beneath the city that is full of monsters but must find his way in the world when he moves to the surface to live like a normal boy. British writer Irena Brignell is penning the script; Antony Stacchi ("Open Season") would direct. Stacchi calls the project "Dickensian" and "Python-esque." It could be either CG or stop-motion. * "Jack and Ben," an original for CG animation, revolves around brother bluebirds who get into a dangerous road-rally-style race to Florida along the north-south migration route. Barry Cook ("Mulan") would direct, David Skelly is writing and Ric Sluiter ("Lilo & Stitch") is art director. "What 'Finding Nemo' did under the water, we want to do in the air," said Fiona Kenshole, VP of development acquisitions for Laika. Cook said the project features quirky characters inspired by the real-life Gumball Rally road race. * "Paranorman," an original idea by "Coraline" story chief Chris Butler, concerns a small town under a secret curse. Only a 13-year-old boy can keep the town from being overrun by zombies, but no one will listen to him. Pic could be stop-motion or CG. Butler is writer and co-director. The project is being developed under Selick's close supervision. For "Coraline," Laika put up the entire production budget of $50 million-$70 million. For all three pitches, however, the company is seeking 50-50 partnerships. Kenshole said Laika is looking for a niche that is edgier than that of most of its competish, while still being commercial. "We're to the left of Pixar and to the right of 'Nightmare Before Christmas,' " Kenshole told Daily Variety. More than one option "There's a lot of people moving into animation, and what they do is copycat. The world isn't waiting for another Pixar and another DreamWorks. We want a slate that's uniquely ours, that hits the four quadrants and is commercial, but is really, really strong, based on good storytelling." Laika is also well into development on three more projects to be pitched in future months: * "The Wall and the Wing," adapted by "Lost" co-creator Jeffrey Lieber from the novel by Laura Ruby. Story is about a parallel contemporary Manhattan where everyone can fly except one girl -- but she can make herself invisible. * An untitled comedy-adventure story based on a young-adult trilogy. Dick Clement and Ian La Franais ("The Commitments," "Flushed Away") are penning the script. Courtney Pledger and Sarah Radclyffe are attached as producers. * An original story about the origins of Halloween by Selick and John Carls. Carls ("Open Season") is producing. Phil Knight is "in this for the long run," said Nike vet and Laika CEO Dale Wahl. "One thing that points to his commitment is the fact that he went out and bought some land for a Laika campus." The company expects to break ground later this year on that 30-acre campus in Tualitin, Ore. Designed by the same architects as the Nike campus, it will bring the CG and stop-motion operations together, though the company's commercials division, House, will likely remain closer to downtown Portland. Laika now employs approximately 550 people, with some 100 in the House division. Messaggio modificato da Scissorhands il 4/7/2009, 11:40 ![]() ![]() thanks to giagia |
