Hurricane Entertainment has announced that four time Academy Award winner for sound design/editing Ben Burtt has been attached to direct the live action feature film adaptation of their flagship comic book property "Chassis".

Working alongside George Lucas since 1975, Burtt has been nominated ten times for his sound design work and sound editing on the "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" films. He has also directed the "Young Indiana Jones" movie, "Attack of the Hawkmen" and IMAx's "Blue Planet".

Chassis is set in the world of rocket car racing in a retro-futuristic 1949. "It's the story of a young woman who longs to be a rocket racer but her father won't allow it. Partly due to the dangers involved in the high speed race, but mostly because of the dangerous and nefarious men who run the sport," said Chassis creator William O'Neill.

For the San Diego Comic Con, Hurricane and Ben Burtt have created a four minute live action short to show off the world of Chassis to the public.

Thanks to 'Roger'.
