THR’s Heat Vision blog is reporting today that George Lucas and Lucasfilm has begun pre-production on an animated CG Musical that believe it or not, has nothing to do with light sabers or ancient artifacts. The project is being directed by TMNT director Kevin Munroe and written by Elf writer David Berenbaum. There is no release date yet or beginning production date for that matter. It is also unknown if the story was originally created by Lucas (as most Lucasfilm projects are) or if this is an idea that Lucasfilm bought.This could work. I would probably enjoy this film the most if Lucas remains completely uninvolved except for giving the film funding. I though TMNT was OK and though I was and am still not a fan of Elf, I could see this project working. Only time will tell, check back with The Film Stage for more on this developing project.
What do you think of a Lucasfilm produced CG musical?
