At the bottom of this story about Aardman’s decision to split with DreamWorks, there’s this little preview of things to come:
Crood Awakening, co-written by John Cleese, which had been scheduled to be the fourth joint film by the two companies, will now be solely a Dreamworks project.
The film, about a prehistoric genius who invents fire, is not expected to be released until 2010.
Interesting. Of course, the IMDB lists his co-writer as Kirk DeMicco, whose biggest credit to date looks to be 2005’s barnyard comedy Racing Stripes, which may not bode well.
