Summary
- Green Gold Animation partners with Red Kite Animation for adult feature.
- The film 'The Assassin' uses bold 21st-century visuals.
- This marks Green Gold's expansion into adult animation.
Indian animation powerhouse Green Gold Animation is collaborating with U.K.-based Red Kite Animation on "The Assassin," an adult-oriented animated feature. This project represents a notable India-U.K. co-production venture, unveiled at the WAVES Film Bazaar in Goa. Rajiv Chilaka, founder of Green Gold, and Ken Anderson of Red Kite announced the partnership, highlighting their shared ambition.
The film is written and directed by Martyn Pick, known for "Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie." It is set in a near-future metropolis and follows an ordinary man's quest for justice against corporate power. Pick described "The Assassin" as an ultra-cinematic action film utilizing "bold 21c century visuals" for a visceral experience, blending animation and live-action techniques.
This partnership marks a significant creative departure for Green Gold Animation, traditionally known for family-friendly content like "Chhota Bheem." The film aims to qualify under the India-U.K. Co-Production Treaty, with production slated for Hyderabad and the U.K., utilizing financing from the U.K.'s Independent Film Tax Credit. Both studios are equitable partners in development, production, and distribution.
