"Yankee Irving", a computer-animated feature film that Christopher Reeve had been directing at the time of his death last weekend, will remain in production said producer Morris Berger to The Associated Press yesterday.
"Yankee Irving" is about a father and his baseball playing son who overcomes personal obstacles to realize his dreams. Reeve had been overseeing the film's production from his home office through a videoconferencing system, regularly sending electronic files of character designs and animatics filled with notes to the company's animation production offices.
Berger said they have not yet decided who will take over as director. "We've just been addressing personal issues and the great loss and reassuring our staff that the production will go on. Tomorrow we'll think those things through." Voice casting and theatrical distribution has yet to be announced.
Thanks to 'Mericano'.
