JOURNEY TO UTOPIA to begin production in December with A-List Voice & Music Talent

 

Major launch planned for #Cannes and Summer (2024) Theatrical Release

 


New York, NY, September 15, 2023  - Breaking  AI and Entertainment stock news from Investorideas.com  InteliMation AI, a newly formed division of indie studio Hannover House, Inc. (OTC: HHSE), has secured a private investment commitment to produce the world’s first fully A.I. and CGI generated feature film, the family appeal fantasy film, “Journey to Utopia.” Featuring a voice talent cast of Academy Award winning actors and box office stars, the film’s visuals will be fully generated using cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence visual rendering, based on producer-supplied scene structure input and character designs.

“We have been trying to produce this film for the past ten years,” said Eric Parkinson, C.E.O. of Hannover House. “But the visual demands of creating the land of Utopia made the production costs prohibitive and financially risky. That has changed now with the new A.I. technology and our improved strategy to make the film animated as opposed to live-action,” he concluded.

 

“The Artificial Intelligence CGI technology has reached a point where we can create an animated feature that is visually comparable to a $200-million-dollar studio production, but completed for a fraction of the cost and time,” said Parkinson. “From script to theatrical DCP, we can produce a major studio quality animated feature in less than eight months.”

 

“The technology from InteliMation should herald in a major paradigm shift in entertainment,” said Christian Large, an independent producer and advisor to Hannover House. “High-end animated features will no longer take multiple years and hundreds-of-millions of dollars to produce. This technological breakthrough will enable a broader range of stories to be created and released, which ultimately will help expand the market,” he concluded.

 

The script for “JOURNEY TO UTOPIA” was written by Mike Snyder (“Wildfire”) based on a story by Eric Parkinson.  The production is in negotiations to secure three Academy Award winning actors as voice talent for the film.  Shirley MacLaine is pegged for the role of “Mother Goose;” Forest Whitaker is being pursued to portray the principal antagonist, “Valkerna,” and Kim Basinger is being pursued in the role of “Connie Hammonds,” the mother of one of the kids who becomes trapped in the land of Utopia.

 

Pending receipt of a Screen Actors Guild waiver for the production, recording of voice talent is expected to start in late November.  A promo reel is planned for the Cannes 2024 festival with a USA Theatrical launch targeted for July 2024.

 

The world animation market will generate over $411-billion dollars in 2023, according to Statista Research Department – and is expected to grow to over $580-billion by the year 2030.  The A.I. fueled software technology pioneered by Hannover House and InteliMation will revolutionize how animated features and television programming are made.

 

Hannover House and InteliMation are targeting to complete two animated features in 2024, with three set for 2025 and four features per year beginning in 2026.  Hannover House will handle the sales representation of the films worldwide, and will coordinate North American theatrical and ancillary sales campaigns with exhibitors, partner studios and major video-on-demand platforms.  Hannover House was formed in 1993 and has found success in a variety of indie film distribution arenas, from DVD and VOD distribution to theatrical exhibition.

 

The release plans for “Journey To Utopia” will follow a traditional model of a wide USA theatrical launch, followed by Video-On-Demand and physical goods (DVDs / BluRay units). 

 

About Eric Parkinson and Hannover House

Eric Parkinson is an indie film distribution veteran of over thirty-five years, best known for his long reigns as CEO of both Hannover House, Inc. and Hemdale Communications.  Parkinson has been directly involved with the release of more than 1,500 feature titles, including notable release campaigns for commercial hits including “Terminator,” “Highlander 2” and Best Picture Oscar winners “Platoon” and “The Last Emperor.” Animated features distributed by Parkinson include three #1 Billboard Magazine Top Selling hits, “Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland”, “The Magic Voyage” and “The Princess and the Goblin.”  On the production side, Parkinson has over fifty feature film credits as a Producer or Executive Producer, and just completed his directorial debut with “WILDFIRE: The Legend of the Cherokee Ghost Horse,” starring Anne Heche in her final feature release.  Hannover House was formed in 1993 as a book publisher, but grew into a top ten Walmart DVD supplier by the mid ‘2000’s with dozens of indie releases populating the popular DVD Budget Bins nationwide. The company expanded into theatrical releases, which were a transitional business model to service the growing Video-On-Demand market. Hannover House stopped representing third-party / indie films in 2018 in favor of a business model that focuses resources on the creation of original, high-profile feature productions.

Global AI in FinTech Market to Reach $31.71B in 2027

 

A report published by Research and Markets finds that the global AI in FinTech market is projected to grow from $11.59 billion USD in 2023 to $31.71 billion by 2027, registering a compound annual growth rate of 28.6 percent in the forecast period. The following excerpt from the report’s description outlines some of the key factors influencing the market’s growth:

 

The need for fraud detection in fintech or financial institutions is contributing to the growth of AI in the fintech market. Artificial intelligence or machine learning algorithms can learn new information from the data collected, the more data that AI manipulates, the more AI can be learned, and the banks can gain deeper insights with AI technology. The biggest advantage of AI is that over time the algorithm builds on collecting more data and learning more about how to use it.

Alex Adelman, CEO and Founder of Bitcoin rewards app Lolli, has provided Investorideas.com with commentary regarding global investment firm Franklin Templeton’s (NYSE:BEN) Bitcoin ETF filing yesterday.

 

“Franklin Templeton's move to file for a bitcoin ETF adds new momentum and urgency to the ongoing movement for bitcoin ETF approvals. The filing from the $1.5 trillion asset manager also amplifies Grayscale’s recent victory against the SEC, showing that the decision has only boosted institutional optimism towards bitcoin ETFs. The fact that four of the top ten asset managers, with Franklin Templeton alongside industry giants like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Invesco, have joined this race only further underscores the growing recognition of bitcoin as a desirable mainstream investment with strong global demand.

 

 Bitcoin’s price has rallied on the news of Franklin Templeton’s filing, which shows that the markets are pricing in this development as a powerful show of faith in bitcoin by one of the world’s biggest financial players.”

PayPal (NasdaqGS:PYPL) has announced the introduction of on and off ramps for Web3 payments in an effort to increase access to digital currencies “by simplifying how wallets, dApps, and NFT marketplaces can enable their customers to buy and sell supported crypto in the U.S.” According to the press release, the company had previously launched On Ramps “to enable U.S. consumers to directly buy crypto with PayPal through integrations with Metamask and Ledger, but in adding Off Ramps, “crypto wallet users in the U.S. can convert their crypto to USD directly from their wallets into their PayPal balance so they can shop, send, save, or transfer to their bank or debit card.”

 

Coinbase (NasdaqGS:COIN) is integrating Lightning Network, the layer-2 payment protocol

created to help solve Bitcoin’s (BTC) scalability problem and to compete against newer cryptocurrency projects that promised comparatively faster and cheaper transactions, according to an article from Cointelegraph. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on X:

 

“Bitcoin is the most important asset in crypto and we're excited to do our part to enable faster/cheaper Bitcoin transactions. Will take some time to integrate so please be patient.”

 

Hut 8 Mining Corp. (NasdaqGS:HUT) has posted its production and operations update for the month of August 2023. Highlights include the mining of 103 BTC, and 9,255 BTC in reserve as of August 31. Jaime Leverton, the company’s CEO, said:

 

"Our 9,255 Bitcoin held on the balance sheet continues to provide Hut 8 and our shareholders with a strategic and differentiated advantage that we're bullish on as we head into the halving. Our progress toward completing our transaction with USBTC continues with our shareholder meeting to approve the transaction set for September 12. If all conditions are met and approvals are attained, the new Hut 8 will have highly diversified fiat revenue streams, robust self-mining capacity, and 825 MW of total power under management."
