Handmade Films Intl. has teamed up with Madrid-based Ilion Animationhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/inline_icons/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=19124#) Studios to finance and co-produce Planet One, a $50 million CGI moviehttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/inline_icons/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=19124#) written by Shrek, King of the Hill, and Beavis and Buttheadscreenwriterhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/inline_icons/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=19124#) Joe Stillman, reports Variety.
The film will be directed by Jorge Blanco, the lead artist on videogame (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=19124#) series "Commandos."
Production is set to start in May, with the theatrical release targeted for Christmas 2008 or Easter 2009.
The film (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=19124#) is an alien invasion story about the inhabitants of Planet One, and who have two antennae and eight fingers, live in a world strangely akin to American suburbia of the 1950s, with drive-in movies, picket fences and a persistent fear of alien invasion -- which is fulfilled when a human astronaut lands in their midst.
Ilion is the theatrical production offshoot of Spain's Pyro Studios, creators of the "Commandos" videogame series. Pyro is simultaneously developing a game (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=19124#) of Planet One.
