Planet One - Release Q1 2008 (US/UK)

By wendy on Tuesday 24 July, 2007

Planet One is the most expensive Spanish movie ever made … and it’s a CGI animated feature! Joe Stillman (Shrek 1 & 2) cooperates with Ilion Animation and Handmade Films on this alien project.

The inhabitants of Planet One are green, have 8 fingers and live in a society with great fear for extraterrestrial invaders. Lem, an ordinary greenling, still lives in his parents’ basement in a quiet suburban house. Suddenly, everything changes in his ordinary life when an ‘alien’ astronaut called Russ Baker lands in his backyard. With his strange NASA space ship broken, the American hero needs to find a way home. Luckily he gets a helping hand from Lem to avoid the extremely vigilant government agents.

A promising story and nice graphics: this might be an important step in the European animation industry. I’m curious how this will evolve. The movie will be released in the first quarter of 2008. Click ‘read more’ for some more impressions.

There are five billion stars in the universe.
Seven hundred and ninety certified planets. And yet,
so far, we haven’t got a single, unequivocal proof of life.
For centuries we have been looking at the stars.
Waiting for a sign. With no luck.
Well, this is all about to change.
