Steve
Stephens Novel The Greatest Escape Being Made Into A Traditional
Animation Movie
LOS
ANGELES, CA—The published Steve Stephens novel, The Greatest
Escape – It Could Have Happened This Way (Axiom Press) is
being made into a traditional animation movie.
The
novel represents a retelling of the age-old story of the birth
of Jesus Christ and his family's escape from the evil King Herod.
The fictional book, and film, address the question of how the
family might have actually managed to escape Herod's troops.
Produced
by Mike Alvarez's NRTEG, based in Los Angeles, the film is a co-effort
between Shreveport Louisiana studio 4HG Entertainment and South
Korea's SunMin
Image Picture Co., Ltd . Directed
by Kevin Altieri ( Pearl Jam's Do The Evolution
animation music video, the award winning Batman
– The Animated Series, Warner Bros., Hasbro's GI
Joe) and starring Caitlin Wachs (Commander
In Chief, My Dog Skip, Inspector Gadget 2 , etc.), Part One
of the two-part, 45 minute animation film is expected to
be released by Christmas 2011.
Shreveport's
4HG Entertainment is comprised of NRTEG, author Mr. Stephens and
Shreveport businessman Steve Brown. 4HG has built a catalogue
of screenplays based on the catalogue of Steve Stephens'
published novels including Anybody Love (with
acclaimed director Julie Dash attached to direct)
and The Formula (based on the Stephens' novel God
In Our Schools, with Kevin Altieri attached to direct).
NRTEG
is looking to develop more animation titles. And, regarding live
action films, the company plans to produce the feature films Anybody
Love and The Formula, in Louisiana, when a funding
and distribution strategy is in place. Alvarez believes that the
success of The Greatest Escape will lead to continued film production
of Steve Stephens' stories.
