Do you know what HIGH IN THE CLOUDS is? No, we don’t either but it’s Paul McCartney’s children’s book, which is now being developed into an animated movie with former New Line toppers Michael Lynne and Bob Shaye. The film will be released in 3D in 2015.
The book focuses on a squirrel’s quest to find a legendary animal sanctuary called Animalia and is written by McCartney, Geoff Dunbar and Philip Ardagh. Mr McCartney will write original songs for the film, which will be directed by Tony Bancroft, whose credits include MULAN.
McCartney had this to say about his work:
’High in the Clouds’ is a passion project for me. I am thrilled to be working in partnership with Randa Ayoubi and David Corbett at RGH, and David Michael Lynne and Bob Shaye of Unique Features. Working with the highly creative talent at these companies together with Josh Klausner and Tony Bancroft, we will be able to create a warm, funny and moving animated film that will resonate with worldwide audiences.’
