2). What films are in pre-production, actual production or post production?
For simplicity in answering this broad question, we will first define what was see each of these three production category terms to mean:
a). PRE-PRODUCTION – Projects for which HHSE – or a Special Purpose Entity for which HHSE has control of distribution rights (or the option to acquire control) – for which the “rights” to proceed as a production have been secured, and for which current activities are occurring in preparation for actual production:
2a-I – MOTHER GOOSE: JOURNEY TO UTOPIA – The Company’s Crown-Jewel, an outstanding live-action, family-fantasy-adventure featuring beloved characters and cast commitments from Shirley MacLaine and Samuel L. Jackson. A prior plan to shoot the film in Louisiana (utilizing tax incentives and a facilities deferral arrangement) grew uncertain over the past few months as cast scheduling began to encroach into 2016, after the tax eligibility expired. HHSE hired a line-producer for the film last week (separate announcement pending), and location exterior scouting trips have now occurred in Germany and Ireland, with the principal photography of interiors and “Utopia” (on a massive soundstage), being researched for Georgia, Arkansas or New York State (to access those tax incentives in lieu of Louisiana). Although HHSE wanted to shoot this film in 2014, obtaining cast approval over a director was an unexpectedly difficult task, only to be followed by the next task of finding a window-of-time that accommodated all key talent. It appears that the magic moment for key cast occurs in mid-February (2016), so we are moving towards that timeframe for all other production issues.
