Cirrina Studios has announced that they are producing an animated adaptation of Veronica Cossanteli’s young adult novel The Extincts. The film is being adapted by David Lipman, president of production at Cirrina, and will be directed by William Joyce.
Pre-production on the film will begin this June, and the studio is eyeing a 2019 release, so I wouldn’t spend time holding your breath!
David Lipman will also produce the film with Michael Siegel (executive producer of The BFG, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Rise of the Guardians). Jane Startz and Barry Cunningham will executive produce alongside Jim Pesoli and Karine Martin of Cirrina Studios.
Synopsis:
The Extincts follows the madcap adventures of George Drake, a boy who goes to work on a farm hidden deep in the woods, where he discovers a hidden cache of extinct and mythological creatures, one of which escapes and terrorizes the town in which he lives.
