WB Animated Feature

The trade mags tell us:

Warner Bros. has picked up Bolivar, an upcoming graphic novel from publisher Archaia Entertainment, for Akiva Goldsman and Kerry Foster to producer via their Weed Road banner. Archaia editor-in-chief Stephen Christy will also produce.

Bolivar comes with Irish filmmaker Kealan O’Rourke attached to write and direct the project, which is intended to be an animated feature. ...

The question I have: What production house will do the nuts and bolts animating of Bolivar, assuming that script and storyboards get a green light for full-bore work on the picture. Will it be done in Southern California? Canada? France or India?

At this point, I haven't the foggiest.

If it is anything like their other CG feature in development, we won't know for years to come.

Maybe they could open Warner feature again and bring brad bird back. They should of kept him but were too stupid to. Just don't let max Howard run the place again or any of the other idiots they had there before. It was a fun place to work and had so much potential but they couldn't find their mark. At least they have iron giant as one of their films.

Yeah I know quest was a fail, I worked on it. Iron giant worked because the main lot stayed out of feature animations way. Osmosis jones was plaqued with hordes of producers and the live action was horrible. All that aside it was a fun place to work. If they could of moved forward from giant with the same passion and vision they would of been the place.

max howeird was a disaster, but the likes of frank gladstone worked double time to ruin what little respect the artists had for the place even more. It's no wonder he gets so little respect in the industry-especially from artists. I hear there's discussion at ASIFA about moving him along.

Frank Gladstone, his nickname was "coco the clown". I still remember Max telling us all "I'll go down with the ship", one week later he was working at dreamworks. Good old' Max, such a champion for us lowly artists.
