Planet One Movie

It's odd how I can stumble around the internet, often seeking stories for this blog, and suddenly find something that I had no idea even existed. A case in point would be the company Ilion Animation Studios, which I had no idea existed until today, and their upcoming theatrical release, "Planet One," which I also had never heard of until about 10 minutes ago.

Here is the blurb on the company from their "About Us" section of the website:

Based in Madrid (Spain), Ilion Animation Studios was founded in 2003 to create state of the art computer animated movies for theatrical release.

Ilion Animation Studios is the theatrical animation company started by the founders of Pyro Studios, best known as the creators of the international hit videogame series Commandos. Both of them are subsidiaries of the Wisdom Entertainment Group of companies, an entertainment conglomerate devoted to the development of hi-tech products related to videogames, animation, interactive and wireless entertainment. With offices in 15 countries Wisdom Entertainment is one of the world leading companies in digital content creation and distribution.

So now you know about the company too. But what about this "Planet One"? Well, take a look at these:









Now... aren't you interested too?

Swing on over to Ilion's Website, click on "Feature Film," and read all about the movie. Here's a quick blurb:

On Planet One, the locals have two antenna, eight fingers and tons of fear about alien invaders. They live in a world like our suburban 1950's, with sci-fi flicks, gory comic books and paranoid army generals barking about monsters from outer space. A young inhabitant, Lem, thinks that space can be wonderful, but he lacks the courage to even move out of his parents' basement. Then one day, out of the sky, an alien ship appears with something funny written on it: NASA. It is piloted by astronaut and ladies man, Captain Russ Baker. Russ had expected to plant the American Flag on a baron planet, only to land at someone's backyard barbecue. Now his new friend, Lem, must keep Russ safe from the authorities and help him find his ship to get back home.
