DreamWorks Animation announces a new animated feature, Home, with two of the starring roles to be voiced by Steve Martin and Jennifer Lopez.
I was invited to the red carpet premiere of MARMADUKE at the annual surf dog beach party held at San Diego’s Imperial Beach on May 22, 2010, and interviewed director Tom Dey and voice talents Owen Wilson (Marmaduke) and George Lopez (Carlos the cat). I give Marmaduke 3.5 starfish. It is packed with humor, romance, and action.
New Line and Warner Bros. are developing a feature film version of SPEEDY GONZALES, according to THE HEAT VISION BLOG.
Managing Director Victor M. Lopez has announced that he is leaving Madrid-based Zinkia Entertainment after six years of "the most wonderful business experience" of his professional life.
In a farewell letter, Lopez stated: "Zinkia represents many things for me, some of my childhood dreams like making TV animated series,' but even more important, giving my daughter her first reason to be proud at school... my father did POCOYÓ!'"
Chilean filmmaker Nicolas Lopez will write and direct an untitled comedy thriller about a young woman who is sent to the past to prevent World War III, under Salma Hayek and partner Jose Tamez's new MGM-based production shingle Ventanazul, reports VARIETY.
Ventanazul is scouting hot young talent from Mexico, Chile and the U.S. for this and its other first few projects.
Mario Lopez hopes to revitalize the motion picture industry in Mexico with an animated film about an ancient Mayan myth, Uxmal, now 16 years in the making, reports CALAVERASENTERPRISE.COM.
Delfino Ent. is teaming with George Lopez to produce EDDIE & THE SQUID, an animated half-hour comedy about two young Latino brothers, VARIETY reports. Lopez will serve as exec producer. Movie- and TV-distribution company Delfino has set up an animation arm to produce the pilot, which is budgeted just under $1 million.
Don Ashley, head of Delfino; Rick Nyholm, exec producer of ABC's THE GEORGE LOPEZ SHOW; and Brett Merhar, who created the characters, developed the show. The voice cast will include Efren Ramirez (NAPOLEON DYNAMITE) and Carlos Alazraqui (RENO 911).
