I think it’s safe to say that many of you were just as excited as I was, with the 1-minute teaser trailer for the upcoming animated feature called Soul Man, which I posted yesterday.
Little info was available at the time of that entry, but, thankfully, a producer of the film (Emilien Dessons) emailed me to fill in the holes.
First, what I knew yesterday… its budget is about 35 Million Euros or ($48.5 million); it’s created by Frenchman Guillaume Ivernel, and his Paris-based production house, Blacklight Movies; about 6 minutes of it was screened at Cartoon Movie, the European Cartoon Symposium, early this month, and the response was good; and it’s being billed as “Blade Runner meets Blaxploitation.”
Today, I confirmed that it is indeed a feature-length film (with that budget I’d certainly expect it to be ), and it’s still very much in development right now, with a 2014 release date planned!
