New Line is venturing into the animation business for the first time in its 40-year history by acquiring Ilion Animation Studios' $60 million feature "Planet 51" from Handmade Films International. Written by Joe Stillman the story is set on a planet whose inhabitants live in fear of an alien invasion. Their paranoia is realized when astronaut Capt. Charles "Chuck" Baker arrives from Earth. Befriended by a young resident, the astronaut has to avoid capture in order to recover his spaceship and return home. The film is directed by Jorge Blanco and co-directed by Javier Abad and Marcos Martinez, who worked with Blanco on the worldwide best-selling video game "Commandos." "Planet 51" is scheduled for completion in March 2009. New Line plans to release the movie in 2009, backed up with a merchandising push that will involve a video game from Pyro Studios.

Side Effects has announced that the Houdini Apprentice version will sell to non commercial users for $99. The new version does not contain a watermark and allows renders up to 1920x1080. The new price and removal of the watermark gives independent filmmakers the opportunity to use Houdini for a very low entry fee. “Learning and trial versions of 3D Animation software have always come with lots of limits such as annoying watermarks that blemish the artist’s work,” says Kim Davidson, President and co-founder Side Effects Software. “With Houdini Apprentice HD we have taken away the watermark and put our focus on giving artists, enthusiasts and students the perfect tool for developing personal art and animation on a shoestring budget.”
