Cynopsis: Kids! Good morning. It’s Wednesday, March 24, 2010, and this is your first early morning Kids briefing. And a reminder, coming out this morning is the first installment of the Cynopsis Media Presents Upfront series – this one concentrating on the Kids Upfront 2010. That should show up in your inbox around 930 ET this morning, as well as on our website. Moonscoop will debuts its first live-action kid series, Super Sportlets (26×11) at MIPTV next month. A co-production with Kids Workout Factory (Holland) and Telegael (Ireland), the series is targeted to K9-5 and features live-action characters against a CGI animated background. The sports-centric series revolves around a group of four teenage aliens as they chase after a bad guy that wants to make all kids into couch potatoes. The series will feature special guest appearances by various popular athletes. The series is set to be available later this year. Moonscoop will handle worldwide distribution for the series, with the exception of the Benelux where Kids Workout Factory will oversee distribution. Summit Entertainment has another Twilight sized bite over the weekend with the Friday night release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon on DVD, selling 4 million units over the course of the weekend, per Entertainment Weekly. The studio’s DVD release of Twilight, the first movie, in 2009 raked in 3.8 million in its first weekend and a total of 9.2 million, making the best selling DVD of last year. To support the New Moon DVD midnight release there were parties at numerous retailers, including Walmart offering an exclusive Ultimate Fan Edition of the DVD, screening parties and of course the studio also dispatched members of the Twilight cast to various locations. The third movie in the series, Eclipse, will open on Wednesday, June 30, 2010, just ahead of the July 4 holiday weekend. NEW PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT Sardine Productions, a animation/production company, enters into a development deal with Societe Radio Canada (French CBC) to develop a new animated series MIA (52×11) from interactive software company Kutoka Interactive, also based in Montreal. The series revolves around the adventures of Mia the mouse as sets out on explorations in the old Victorian house where she and her grandmother live. Angryfilms (Real Steel, all three Transformers movies) picks up the movie option to the young adult novel Little Brother (2008) by author/blogger Cory Doctorow, per THR. The book revolves around Marcus, a high school senior, in the aftermath of a terrorist attack on San Francisco during which he and his friends are caught up in world of the Department of Homeland Security. After being interrogated and tortured, Marcus heads back into the city that is now under complete surveillance, a la George Orwell’s Big Brother, and he begins a revolution online to save the city. Angryfilms’ Don Murphy and partner Susan Montford will serve as producers on the movie and are currently looking for a director and writers. Doctorow, who supports the easing of copyright laws, launched the book by offering it for free ( www.craphound.com ), though you can also buy the book. A paperback version of Little Brother will be published next month by Tor Teen, which is an imprint of Tom Doherty Associates. Chris Evans (Human Torch/Johnny Storm in Fox’s Fantastic Four movies) will take on the role of Captain America/Steve Rogers in at least three Captain America movies from Marvel Studios, per Heat Vision. There is still no confirmation from Marvel on this news. The first movie on the movies is The First Avenger: Captain America, directed by Joe Johnston from a script by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely and set for release on July 22, 2011. The movie will also feature Hugo Weaving as the evildoer Red Skull. Evans will also play Captain America in The Avengers, which will also star Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Edward Norton as the Incredible Hulk, which is slated for a May 4, 2012 release. Popeye is getting a 3D CGI animated feature film makeover by Sony, per Variety. Avi Arad, who previously partnered with Sony on the Spider-Man movies, is producing the movie. Negotiations are underway with writer Mike Jones to pen the script. A Sony Pictures Animation movie, the CG will be handled by Sony Pictures ImageWorks. While the storyline is being kept quiet, the movie will include Olive Oyl, Bluto and Swee’Pea. Created by E.C. Segar, Popeye made his first appearance in the popular comic strip Thimble Theater in 1929. King Features Syndicated, a unit of Heart Entertainment and Syndication, now controls the property.
