John Gaeta Directed Anime Will Screen First Overseas
Date: 10/24/2005
Tokyo based Neoplex and 21 City have annonced they are coming together to develop 2 unique movie projects that will be executed in Japan and then screened initially in Europe, America and South Korea via the internet. After raising notability in this venue, a theaterical opening and net delivery will occur in Japan. The aim is a new business model where the costly fees of theatrical advertisement and promotion will be bypassed for the realtively cheap net distribution where buzz is generated by word of mouth. The first is a CG science fiction animation tentatively titled BRIDGE that will be directed by Academy Award winning John Gaeta, known for his mindbending SFX work on the Wachowski Brothers' MATRIX trilogy. Actor Takao Osawa (Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World) An unnamed famous Japanese creator will collaborate in the areas of scenario and music. Executive Producers David Albert & Rick Jacobs will elaborate on the project on October 29th and 30th.
