What would someone with such a lack of boundaries do in the world of animation? We might find out — Boyle tells Coming Soon that he wants to tackle Terry Pratchett’s childrens book TRUCKERS as a feature ‘toon. The approach is part of what appeals to him: “You’re more like a ringmaster, kind of organizing this huge army of illustrators who can change the movie. It’s really weird.“
Boyle hopes to reunite with MILLIONS writer Frank Cottrell Boyce and do the project with Dreamworks, but there’s nothing set in stone (or cel, or hard drive) just yet. Pratchett’s tale is the first in the “Bromeliad trilogy” about an isolated group of tiny people who travel and discover a much larger community of their kind.
