rather ambitious project budgeted at $100 million.

Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back director, Irvin Kershner, is set to produce. Presently the production will start filming live-action sequences with a release date schedule for 2010 release.
Pitof is known for his f/x credits but Empire is his third directing adventure.
