Chennai, July 20: Haricane Studios, a
popular Indian VFX and animation company,
will collaborate with a leading international
production house to co-produce the animated
adaptation of “The Town Musicians of Bremen”.
The joint venture will reportedly cost about
$45 million. Currently, the film is in its pre-
production phase.
“We have been looking to associate with a
project that can appeal to a global audience.
Films like ‘Ice Age ‘, ‘Tangled’ and ‘Happy Feet’
have appealed to people of all age groups and
have an interesting story to convey. This will
be one such tale, which can connect with
people all across,” Prabhakaran Hari Haran,
managing director, Haricane Studios, said in a
statement.
However, Hari, the great grandson of late
popular Tamil actor M.R. Radha, didn’t reveal
the name of the Hollywood studio he is
collaborating with. As for his dreams, he
always wanted to go global and this film is his
first step in the direction.
“Our meetings in Hollywood have provided us
with the required insights necessary to come
up with international standards. We are
mentored by some of the influential names
from the top studios, in relation to the
project,” he said. ”And what I feel is the magic
element of this project is the music, which we
have an amazing scope to work on. We plan to
rope in an Indian music director , to give that
soulful touch to the background score,” he
added. http://www.india.com/showbiz/indian-studio-to-co-produce-hollywood-animated-film-99266/
