Aardman Are 'Flushed Away' By British Rat
[Tuesday, June 11th, 2002]DreamWorks Pictures and Aardman are giving it another go after failed project "Tortoise and the Hare," they are now going to make the claymation comedy "Flushed Away," reports The Hollywood Reporter.
The studio has just closed a high-six-figure deal with writing pair Dick Clement and Ian LaFrenais to pen the "Flushed Away" screenplay, which will center on a pampered British rat who accidentally gets flushed from his posh penthouse flat into the slimy London sewers. As he searches for a way home, he falls in love with the sewer and its inhabitants.
Sam Fell will direct the project, with Aardman topper Peter Lord handling producing duties. No voice talent has yet been signed for roles in the project.
