Bad Bunny and Will Ferrell Film ‘Dropz’ Among Five New Projects in Development at Paramount Animation, Says Chief Ramsey Naito (EXCLUSIVE)
Paramount Animation's Ramsey Naito has revealed development on a string of original films, including the Bad Bunny and Will Ferrell-produced "Dropz".
The studio is also developing “Swan Lake,” a modern retelling of the classic fairy tale of the same name, which will be written by Kourtney Kang (“How I Met Your Mother”) and produced by Temple Hill. Finally, Naito revealed development of “Yoke Samba,” which she called “our ‘The Last Starfighter’ and a destination movie to Brazil.” On board to direct is Leo Matsuda, a Disney Animation alum whose credits as a story artist include “Wreck-It Ralph” and who helmed the 2016 short “Inner Workings.” Mitch Watson (“Big Nate”) is writing and Stacey Lubliner will produce. This evening at Annecy, Paramount Animation will preview a work in progress of its upcoming “Transformers One,” which Naito says is a stylized origin story set on Cybertron about how Optimus Prime (voiced by Chris Hemsworth) and Megatron (Brian Tyree Henry) went from friends to enemies.
