Eva Longoria ⁣and⁣ Nicholas‌ Galitzine lead “Wings of ​Freedom” cast

An animated adventure set in‌ the heart of Mexico

Eva Longoria (Only Murders in the Building, ​ Land of Women) ‍and Nicholas Galitzine (The Idea of ​You) are⁤ set to​ star in Wings of ​Freedom, an‍ exciting ‍new animated film. With its rich ⁢storytelling and unique setting in‍ Mexico, this ​movie‍ promises ⁣to ​deliver‌ heartwarming action and ‌comedy.

A⁤ visionary project by Laurent Zeitoun

Wings of Freedom is⁤ directed and co-written by Laurent Zeitoun, ‌a⁣ renowned French screenwriter and producer whose filmography includes some of Europe’s⁤ biggest hits. Zeitoun’s successful ventures span from the comedy ⁣ Intouchables to animated features such as​ Ballerina (titled Leap! in the U.S.)⁢ and Fireheart. His expertise ensures⁢ that Wings of Freedom will be a visual⁤ and narrative delight.

The fearless storylines

In Wings of Freedom, Eva Longoria voices Salana, ‍a home-loving Eagle who inhabits the safe confines ⁢of her hidden bird colony. Nicholas Galitzine voices Lieutenant Pirro, a brave Swift and member⁣ of the Animal Air ⁢Force. The two characters find themselves on ​an⁢ unexpected journey when they must battle against‍ Eternity, a malevolent ‍artificial intelligence ​aiming to dominate ​the‌ world.

Market debut and international collaboration

Studiocanal is set to preview Wings of Freedom at the American Film Market in Las Vegas. Besides spearheading the​ distribution of ‍this ⁤animated⁣ feature,⁢ Studiocanal collaborates⁣ with Good Hero, a Paris-based‍ company helmed ‌by Gregory ​Ouanhon and Laurent Zeitoun. This joint production will find its way to audiences in territories including France, the U.K., Germany, Austria, Benelux, Poland, ‌Australia, and New Zealand.

The birth ⁣of ​Good Hero

Good Hero, ⁢a banner launched in 2020, marks​ its first major undertaking​ with Wings of Freedom.⁣ The⁣ collaborative spirit between⁣ Zeitoun and Ouanhon drives this dynamic duo, leading to the creation of innovative animated content. Ouanhon ⁢brings an extensive international experience, having held senior positions at Shanghai-based Fundamental Films and serving on the board of directors⁤ at⁤ EuropaCorp.

Writing a‌ narrative that‍ resonates

Laurent Zeitoun co-wrote the‍ script with Nick Luddington (contributor to ​Netflix’s ⁢ Arcane) and Toby Davies (The Adventures of Paddington). They ⁤conceptualized a world where humans, in their fight ⁢against global warming, turn‍ to AI. The plot takes a⁢ dark twist as these AI drones identify humanity as ‌the planet’s ⁢primary ‌threat, resulting in an almost extinct⁤ human​ race by the year 2340. Against this dystopian backdrop, a resilient Animal‌ Air Force emerges as a new hope.

Building⁤ new fictional universes

Good‍ Hero’s mantra emphasizes⁣ creating fresh intellectual properties (IPs) in-house, ⁣collaborating extensively with experts from various fields. This‍ innovative approach has led to ​the development of Wings of​ Freedom, a universe⁤ at the intersection ⁣of global warming and artificial​ intelligence​ concerns. Their analytical efforts with universities, philosophers, ‌and anthropologists​ drive their​ aim to anticipate trends before they become mainstream.

Aiming for family⁣ entertainment

Ouanhon and Zeitoun ⁢express a nostalgic inspiration from 1990s adventure films, drawing particular influence from Steven Spielberg’s filmmaking style. They aim to produce films that offer imperfect⁢ yet ⁣inspiring heroes and captivating ⁤stories suitable ​for​ the⁣ whole family.

Charismatic voice ​talents

Zeitoun emphasized ⁣choosing Eva ​Longoria⁤ for ⁣her charisma, warmth,​ and strength. He remarked on her humor and ‍strong⁢ screen presence. Galitzine, on the other⁣ hand, was selected‍ for his panache, elegance, ‌and comedic timing, making him an ideal fit for the role of Lieutenant Pirro.

Blending live-action‌ expertise with‍ animation

What sets ‌Good Hero apart is its founders’ background ​in⁢ live-action cinema and their script-focused approach. This unique blend of skills⁢ enriches ⁣the character-driven​ storytelling and high-quality ‍animation of Wings of⁣ Freedom. Their commitment to creating engaging narratives is evident in ‍Zeitoun’s extensive track record, including‌ many successful remakes.

A modest ​yet ambitious production

While⁢ pursuing a character-driven narrative with ‌top-notch animation, Wings of Freedom is produced on⁢ a budget‌ lower than blockbuster films like Despicable Me. Yet Zeitoun’s ambition aims to⁤ showcase France’s exceptional talent pool and animation capabilities, aspiring ⁤to prime Wings of Freedom as a hallmark ‍of high-profile, mainstream ⁤animated entertainment.

Wings of Freedom aims to soar into⁤ theaters by 2026, ⁣ready to captivate and inspire⁤ audiences worldwide. ​For updates and more immersive ⁢stories, don’t forget to share and⁤ follow us on [social media].
