200% Bonus Casinos - Animation Veteran Max Howard to Executive Produce

Exodus Film Group has tapped seasoned animation executive Max Howard to serve as Executive Producer on its upcoming CGI-animated film, "Igor," an irreverent comedy with a new twist on the classic mad scientist/monster genre. Written by Chris McKenna, "Igor" tells the story of a mad scientist's hunchbacked lab assistant who has big dreams of becoming a mad scientist in his own right and winning the coveted first place award at the annual Evil Science Fair. "Max has worked on some of the most successful animated films of all time," said Exodus' president John D. Eraklis. "We are excited to have him on board. He joins a terrific roster of producers who bring their unique talents and expertise to our entire slate of films." "'Igor' is a wonderful twist on the classic mad scientist story," said Howard. "I am also thrilled about working with a self contained mini-studio such as Exodus, which is not only independently financing the film, but also producing the CGI animation with its talented and award-winning team, ElectroAge." Howard was formerly president of Warner Bros. Feature Animation and Senior Vice President of Disney Feature Animation. During his twelve years at Disney, Howard was one of the senior architects of that company's animation renaissance. He has collaborated on such animation successes as "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," "The Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin," "Pocahontas" and "The Lion King." At Warner Bros., Howard oversaw the award-winning animated feature "The Iron Giant" and the international hit "Space Jam." Most recently he was an Executive Producer on "Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron" for DreamWorks. He is currently producing the animated film "The Spirit Bear," a story about Canada's near-extinct white kermode bear. ABOUT EXODUS FILM GROUP Exodus Film Group, Inc. was founded in 2001 in an effort to create a one-stop entertainment company capable of producing content equal in quality to the studios and networks on a realistic budget. Exodus acquires and develops intellectual properties, taking them from inception to distribution. A division of Exodus, ElectroAge, LLC's team of digital artists has won numerous awards for their work, including an Emmy and several Emmy nominations. Noted projects include: "The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest" (Hanna Barbera), "Roughnecks Starship Troopers Chronicles" (Sony Television), "Star Trek Voyager" (Paramount) "Mystic Knights" (Saban), "The Visitor" (20th Century Fox/Centropolis Television) and "Deep Rising" (Hollywood Pictures). In addition to "Igor," Exodus' current slate of films includes: "Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox," "55 Holly Star," and "My Life With 3 Women." "Igor," along with "55 Holly Star" and "My Life With 3 Women," is being financed by a film fund launched by Exodus earlier this year. Set in modern times, "Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox" is a live-action family adventure film adaptation of the legend of Paul Bunyan, featuring the voice of Eddie Griffin ("DysFunktional Family," "Scary Movie 3," "Pinocchio," "Undercover Brother") as the CGI-animated "Babe." "Paul Bunyan" tells the story of an oversized lumberjack isolated from civilization in the forests of North America. Along the way he forms a lifelong relationship with a troubled young boy and together they learn to reconcile their personal differences and disappointments. The team includes Executive Producer Tarquin Gotch ("Home Alone," "Dutch," "Curly Sue") and award-winning Composer Basil Poledouris ("Blue Lagoon," "Les Miserables," "The Jungle Book," "Free Willy 1 & 2"). "55 Holly Star" is a Capra-esque tale of a young down-on-his-luck salesman whose life changes dramatically after a Near Death Experience. Written and directed by Michael A. Nickles ("This Is Not A Film"), the film is a whimsical, comedic adventure of one man's desperate attempts to uncover a forgotten childhood memory that contains clues to buried treasure. Chris Weitz ("American Pie" films, "About a Boy," "Down to Earth") will executive produce. An adventure/comedy based on a true story, "My Life With Three Women", follows a Santa Barbara, California man whose midlife crisis leads him to set sail on the open seas in search of a life change. An advertisement for one crewman inadvertently results in his ending up with three crew-women onboard. The team includes Executive Producer Peter Faiman ("FernGully: The Last Rainforest," "Dutch," "Crocodile Dundee") and Producer Tarquin Gotch ("Home Alone," "Dutch," "Curly Sue").
