New Line Cinema announced today that it will be distribute Planet 51 , Europe ’s biggest CGI photographic film ever , in 2009 . The $ 60 million clam film features astronaut Captain Chuck Baker bring down on a satellite filled with 1950s - era aliens who live in sodding fear of aliens , namely Chuck himself .

This picture show mark the first metre that New Line will be venturing into the water dominated by Disney / Pixar and Dreamworks Animation , and interestingly enough it was write by Joe Stillman , who save both Shrek and Shrek 2 for Dreamworks . The film will be directed by Jorge Blanco , who created the Commandos TV games for the PlayStation 2 back in 1998 .
New Line will on the face of it be activating their marketing juggernaut for the film . Ilion CEO Ignacio Perez Dolset said , “ The deal has been made with the object on everybody ’s part of rifle out on no few than 3,000 screens . ”
That means New Line will be spending an amount of money equal to the budget or more in an endeavour to put multitude in the backside and sell a ton of Planet 51 product and TV games . Let ’s hope they fare better than Fox did when they released Titan A.E. That sci fi animated film tanked in 2000 , and single - handedly shut down Fox Animation Studios . Still , New Line wo n’t be selling their shirts for this one , since they ’re only buying the U.S. dispersion right .
Based on the scene they ’ve loose , and if they ’re able to confiscate some A - list vocalisation talent , they might give the other players in the CGI kitty a run for their money . If Planet 51 manages to fascinate any of the notion of The Iron Giant , we ’re in .
