Dark Myth Pictures Acquires Broadcasting Rights To New Animated Series "Monkey Ears"
Dark Myth Pictures to start development on animated series as soon as December 26th.
Online, December 27, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Dark Myth Pictures (a division of Dark Myth Production Studios) announced today it has entered into a program license agreement for "Monkey Ears" with creator Christopher Bailey. The deal includes the first ten seasons of the franchise, which will premiere on-line as 'webisodes' beginning in 2013, as well as the next two seasons if produced. "Monkey Ears" is a a show that centers on a small group of socially awkward, pot smoking teenage delinquents, Monkey Ears and his crew, who live in the town of Getts, Florida. They have no apparent adult supervision at home, are woefully undereducated and dim-witted, are barely literate, and lack any empathy or moral scruples. "Monkey Ears" premieres its pilot webisode next October.
The development of the teaser, which is outlined to be thirty (30) to forty-five (45) seconds long, is planned to be produced in a private studio in California. Officials say that the teaser will not contain excerpts from the series itself, and is to be done as a segment rather than a teaser trailer.
An independent script for the pilot is currently being developed, as well as a complete production schedule; to be written and directed by David K. Montoya.
"If handled correctly, 'Monkey Ears' could become one of television's most powerful animated franchises, and Dark Myth Pictures is proud to add it into our 2012 project line-up," said said David K. Montoya, Dark Myth Production Studios' Chief Executive Officer and President.
The casting is set to start in January, even though the start date for pre-production is targeted for May, 2012.
