Innovativ Media to produce and distribute an animated series adapted from H.P. Lovecraft's most revered novella "At the Mountains of Madness."
Los Angeles, CA, August 24, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Innovativ Media Group, Inc. (OTCPK:INMG) (“Company”), a developer, producer and distributor of digital entertainment and multi-media content, announced today that it is in production on a new, animated web series, Mountains of Madness adapted from the revered H.P. Lovecraft Novella At The Mountains of Madness. The Series is being co-written, co-produced and directed by Stephen Sloan and will be produced and animated in Toronto. Casting is underway with principal voice recording scheduled for September. The Pilot and initial episodes will be completed in early 2016 and the Company expects to distribute the series in partnership with an established platform.
“Over the years there have been numerous attempts to adapt and film At the Mountains of Madness but the period, locations, vivid monsters and unique story has presented significant challenges for filmmakers to make a live action adaptation however animation will allow us to produce the material as it was fully imagined by Lovecraft, in a most entertaining fashion, and we feel the web series format will be an excellent way to target audiences and interact with the large Lovecraft fan base” said Tom Coleman the Company CEO.
“Developing Mountains of Madness as an animated project seemed like a natural idea to me,” said Sloan. “The extraordinary settings and vivid Lovecraft creations are well suited to be brought to life through digitally assisted, classical animation.”
