We first became aware of the independently produced CG animated feature film Delgo in 2003, but haven’t heard much from the production since the initial casting news. Now The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Freestyle Releasing will open the film in theaters on Dec. 12. The feature was also screened at the Red Sticks festival in Baton Rouge and at the Annecy festival this year.
Delgo is a fantasy adventure film that takes place in a magical land where two civilizations are brought together by an outlawed romance and the heroics of some unlikely friends. The star-studded voice cast includes Freddie Prinze Jr. (Scooby-Doo), Jennifer Love Hewitt (Garfield: The Movie) Anne Bancroft (The Graduate), Val Kilmer (Batman Forever), Chris Kattan (Monkeybone), Kelly Ripa (Fly Me to the Moon), Eric Idle (Monty Python’s Flying Circus), Michael Clarke Duncan (Planet of the Apes), Malcolm McDowell (Star Trek Generations), Burt Reynolds (Boogie Nights) and Lou Gossett Jr. (An Officer and a Gentleman)
Directed by Jason Maurer and Marc F. Adler from a screenplay by Maurer, Scott Biear, Patrick Cowan, Carl Dream and Jennifer A. Jones, Delgo is the first feature film from Atlanta, Georgia-based toon shop Fathom Studios, which is known primarily for commercial work. Work on Delgo began in 1998.
