Xilam Retools ‘Lucy Lost’ as Feature, Adapting ‘War Horse’ Author Michael Morpurgo, Shares First Look (EXCLUSIVE)
Xilam's Marc du Pontavice describes his Anime influence and his desire to pursue more features.
“Klaus” alum Olivier Clert has boarded as co-writer and director, joining BAFTA-winning screenwriter Helen Blankman for a seaside family tale adapted from “War Horse” author Michael Morpurgo’s 2014 novel “Listen to the Moon.” While Xilam continues work on TV commissions like “The Doomies” and “Chip ‘N’ Dale: Park Life” for Disney+ and Zack Snyder’s “Twilight of the Gods” for Netflix, the ongoing contractions in the streaming marketplace – particularly on the family front — have rekindled the French studio’s interest in features and adult animation. On the adult front, Xilam has tapped ““I Lost My Body” alums Benjamin Massoubre and Fursy Teyssier for “The Wolf,” a dark wilderness thriller based on a graphic novel from “Snowpiercer” creator Jean Marc Rochette; the studio is now lining up additional talent for subsequent features in earlier stages of development.
