Planet 51; See the man. KMG-3D5.
Ok so the post title dates me back to watching Emergency! but what the hell. Squad 51. Start an IV with Ringer's Lactate. KMG-365... Written by Joe Stillman ("Shrek"), the story is set on a planet whose inhabitants live in fear of an alien invasion. Their paranoia is realized when astronaut Capt. Charles "Chuck" Baker arrives from Earth. Befriended by a young resident, the astronaut has to avoid capture in order to recover his spaceship and return home.
New Line is getting into the 3D world and none too soon! Hollywood Reporter well... reports, that New Line has bought the Ilion Animation Studios', well... animation Planet 51, for $60 million from Handmade Films International.
Completion is due in March of 2009 for a subsequent release later that year, co-branded with a video game from Pyro Studios.
With "The Hobbit" anticipation boiling up into a frenzy (along with some taters, mmm), perhaps this is the led up to the big announcement from Bob Shaye that they are indeed placing Peter Jackson back on the helm for the flick and pulling the trigger on back to back 3D epics! Make The Hobbit in 3D Bob... Just think of having to duck with all those box office returns coming at 'ya!
