TORONTO, ONTARIO--
Hall Train Entertainment is pleased to announce a joint association
with Robert Bouvier for development of the weekly 1/2 hour dramatic
series DINOMIGHT. Preproduction has begun with storyboarding and
model-making for the special effects sequences of the pilot.
"Imagine...anywhere...at any time... dinosaurs suddenly appear
to terrorize your world"
Each episode will follow different characters in every day
settings - a school... the subway...an underground parking
lot...
A break in the time/space continuum opens portals... a variety
of terrifying prehistoric creatures materialize and
spontaneously wreak havoc...clandestine government
investigators rush to cover up the chaotic scenes in an effort
to prevent mass hysteria.
R. Hall Train is the world's foremost supplier of dinosaur
animation and visual material. As co-creator of the series, he
will combine his expertise with Robert Bouvier who conceived the
original concept. Bouvier, principle of Ovation Entertainment
Inc., is a producer/director of feature films and TV series. He
currently has two 1/2 hour pilots under consideration at the North
American networks: ICON$, a reality-based, "behind-the-scenes"
expose of celebrity culture; and LEGEND OF LONE WOLF, a high
action, youth oriented drama set in the Wild West.
Using proprietary techniques and advanced animation visuals, Hall
Train Moving Pictures will design and produce the special effects
sequences and supervise the overall "look". R. Hall Train, founder
of the company, emphasized, "We will be able to copyright our
unique dinosaurs to generate revenue from the huge, worldwide
merchandising markets." Lawrence Keller, CEO, also added that this
venture is extremely timely as the worldwide demand for cutting
edge television programming and concepts increases. "A successful
television series could generate substantial revenues in the
syndication market alone. It also extends our ownership
participation with an intellectual property that I believe, with a
successful marketing plan, has the potential to derive solid
residuals from spin-offs and merchandising undertakings in the
ancillary markets."
This strategic alliance is an additional example of the core
strategy to focus primarily on the continued building and expanding
of Hall Train Entertainment Inc. into a diversified entertainment
corporation.
