Airman flying at Disney
Posted by Patrick Sauriol on Monday, October 19, 2009
The Airman cometh for Walt Disney Pictures.
The studio has partnered with Robert Zemeckis' ImageMovers to make a movie out of Airman, a fantasy adventure with a young boy protagonist as its central character. Written by Eoin Colfer (who also created the Artemis Fowl series and also penned And Another Thing, the just published novel in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series), Airman is set in a slightly steampunk-ish 19th century Ireland and is about a young teenage boy named Conor who is accused of killing the king. Sentenced and locked in a remote prison, Conor devises an idea to escape and clear his name by building a fantastical flying machine.
Gil Kenan (Monster House) is set to direct and film the movie using motion capture animation. The studio is budgeting $150 million dollars for the film and has hired Ann Peacock (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) to adapt the novel.
