A still birth is sad no matter the medium: mammal or film. An initial seed of inspiration sparks a long enduring process of maturation and development where the defining features of the organism begin to develop. Meanwhile, the nurturing creators of this new life do their best to secure the best circumstances to await their child when it arrives. Again, whether it be an animal or a film, when the stillbirth arrives it’s a devastating disappointment. The comparison may seem somewhat coldly analytical in comparing a living, breathing thing to a collection of moving pictures constructed for entertainment – but just look at the similar stakes. Both filmmaking and reproduction require a certain gestation period whether it be production or incubation. The two have similarly high hopes for the future: one for sequels and DVD sales, the other for a bright prosperous future in a career of their choice.
But then the stillbirth.
But then the stillbirth.

The story behind the making of Delgo is heartwarming and inspiring. Fathom Studios, based in Atlanta, Georgia, has been creating commercial computer animation for more than ten years. When they decided to produce their own feature-length narrative film, they did it completely independent of the Hollywood studio system. They labored long and hard with a much smaller budget and a much smaller staff than the animation behemoths. They bravely posted "digital dailes" throughout production, a kind of progressive, online series of "making of" snippets. They recruited a slew of actors with name recognition -- Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt, Val Kilmer, Malcolm McDowell, Louis Gossett Jr., Michael Clarke Duncan, Burt Reynolds, Chris Kattan, and the late Anne Bancroft in her last performance -- to voice the characters.
If only the film as a whole was as dramatic and lively as the behind-the-scenes story. Under the direction of Marc F. Adler and Jason Maurer,...

Twentieth Century Fox's remake of the science fiction classic "The Day the Earth Stood Still" unspools into a big 3,560 venues as the widest opener this weekend. The Scott Derrickson ("The Exorcism of Emily Rose") helmed picture is newly screenwritten by David Scarpa based on the Edmund H. North 1951 version. Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly lead the cast which includes Kathy Bates, Jaden Smith, John Cleese, Jon Hamm, Kyle Chandler and Robert Knepper. Hollywood shows once again it's starvation for good material. (review). Indie distributor Freestyle Releasing sends out its animated "Delgo" offering. It is highly unlikely that the fantasy adveture helmed by Kason Maurer and Marc F. Adler will bring in much from its 2,160 venues. The cast includes Freddie Prinze Jr., Chris Kattan, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Anne Bancroft, Val Kilmer, Malcolm McDowell, Michael Clark Duncan, Louis Gossett Jr., Burt Reynolds and Kelly Ripa.

The second trailer of Freestyle Releasing's animated movie "Delgo" has been released. Though shorter than the previous one, this one gives out more on the truce between the two opposing races, and the friendship between a spunky Nohrin princess and a reckless Lockni teenager when the hostilities between their opposing races escalate.
The trailer opens with a scene of the serene mystical land of Jhamora where two leaders of disputing races, the winged Nohrin and the terrestrial Lockni, forge a peace, thinking that the truce will last forever. It continues to show that when a forgotten enemy returns, all hell break loose.
Amidst the escalating hostilities between the two races, a Lockni teenager Delgo forms an outlawed friendship with Nohrin Princess Kyla. When Kyla is kidnapped by an exiled Empress and he is framed for the crime, Delgo is forced to join forces with a sworn enemy Bogardus to save...
