While Outfit7 will remain at the creative forefront of the film’s development, the company has enlisted the expertise of Jean Julien Baronnet, producer of the “Rabbids Invasion” hit television series and “Assassin’s Creed” movie, former CEO of both EuropaCorp and Ubisoft Motion Pictures, and founder of Marla Studios, which specializes in adapting video games to movies, to ensure Tom’s essence is successfully translated to film.

“The Talking Tom movie will be a high-content, hybrid family film, featuring both digital characters and real-life actors, and it will touch on all of the important themes that have become synonymous with the Talking Tom brand: tolerance, adventure, humor and, of course, friendship,” says Baronnet.

As Talking Tom eagerly awaits his big screen debut, Outfit7 is currently finalizing other talent for the film. Stay tuned.
