Shane Acker To Direct ‘Beasts Of Burden’

Beasts Of BurdenSince adapting his short, 9, into a feature length film, Shane Acker has mostly kept things on the quiet working as a previsualization supervisor/artist for The Third Floor. Well he’s now attached to helm a project once again with an adaptation of the comic book BEASTS OF BURDEN. In the book, a gang of 5 dogs and 1 cat, join together to fight supernatural forces in the town of Burden. Andrew Adamson, the director of SHREK and CHRONICLES OF NARNIA, is set to produce.

I really liked 9, especially its incredibly dark tone and original visuals. Hopefully Acker will capture the darkness ofthe comics as well as creating a sense of real camaraderie between the animals. Darren Lemke is writing the script based on material by Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson.

His love of film extends to all aspects of his life, with trips abroad being planned around film locations and only buying products featured in Will Smith movies. His favourite films include SEVEN SAMURAI, PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC, IN BRUGES, LONE STAR, GODZILLA, and a thousand others.
