Lorne Lanning is set to make his directional debut on the Oddworld-set CG animated sci-fi action thriller
Citizen Siege, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The story is set in a video game Oddworld universe where current global conditions are extrapolated into a frightening near future where democracy has all but disintegrated under the rule of global corporatism.
Sherry McKenna will produce the project. "Sherry and I have always dreamed of bringing audiences powerful and inspiring stories that push the CG animated feature film into some exciting new territory," said Lanning. " The time for tools and technology is right, the partnership is right, and the audience is ready, so this is the opportunity we've been waiting for to prove if we've got what it takes."
