Bedrock Studios have launched their first project, the CGI family orientated ‘Turkeys’, announcing that Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson are set to star.Turkeys will mark the first venture for the newly established Bedrock Studio’s. The studio formed through a union of Cary Granat’s Granat Entertainment and Reel FX, run by former ILM executive Ed Jones. They have set themselves a challenging mandate: To develop and produce franchise films in the range of $35 million and under.
The film revolves around Wilson and Harrelson as two poultries in motion through time. With the feathered time-travelling duo attempting to influence their future fate; plucked, stuffed and on the Thanksgiving table.
Oscar nominated animator Ash Brannon, once of Pixar, and credited as co-director on Toy Story 2, is charged with bringing the project to the big screen. Brannon certainly has good pedigree, after leaving Pixar to join Sony; he helmed the enjoyable penguin documentary comedy, Surf’s Up.
It will be written and produced by John J Strauss (There’s Something About Mary) and David I. Shern (Open Season 2). For now we will concentrate on the former, rather than the latter as a source of potential for this project.
