" Mother Goose: Journey To Utopia " Synopsis, Information Page
Tentative Principle Photography: Begin by April 30, 2016.
Studios: Hannover House (Theatrical), 20th Century Fox (Home Video)
Tentative Cast: Shirley MacLaine, Samuel Jackson
Synopsis: Family-Appeal "Fantasy" Adventures films rank among the highest grossing movies of all time. Bridging the commercial markets for both kids and adults, fantasy adventures have an evergreen value and a worldwide appeal, "Mother Goose: Journey To Utopia" builds on the awareness and characters from the infamous "Mother Goose" fables, and combines it with the audience-friendly element of "transportation to a magical world." The result is a pleasing and commercial adventure that is ideally positioned to become an entertaining and popular movie experience. With major star casting - including Academy Award Winner SHIRLEY MACLAINE as "Mother Goose" and SAMUEL JACKSON as "Valkerna" - this film could achieve the stature of other, comparably themed films, including "Chronicles of Narnia", "Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland" and the recently released "Oz: The Great and Powerful."
"Mother Goose: Journey To Utopia" tells the story of young Jack and Gillian, two pre-teen kids from modern-day America. In researching a homework assignment, they stumble upon a mysterious and dusty old book of Mother Goose rhymes. Upon opening the book, they are pulled from their world and thrust in to the magical - and fantastical - land of Utopia and Mother Goose. Here they are faced with the challenge of saving Mother Goose from an evil villain, Valkerna, who believes that children no longer have any imagination. As Jack and Gillian proceed on their journey, they run into a variety of amusing and enchanted characters who provide various forms of advice and assistance to help them save Mother Goose. In the end, though, it is the imaginations of Jack and Gillian to save the day, and return them to their own world.

March 10, 2016 b). Financing Agreement for "Mother Goose: Journey To Utopia" - Hannover House was offered the opportunity to move immediately on the funding of this major "event-level" project, but only if we were able to commence principal photography on or before April 30, 2016. The structure of the Mother Goose funding extends beyond the production costs, and includes a mechanism for $10-mm in P&A to support a theatrical release launch onto approximately 1,785 screens. This is such a significant, material level development for the Company that it requires an immediate refocus of management resources and support staffing. Principal photography will occur primarily in the State of Georgia, with certain scenes shot in Ireland (castles / epic sequences), under a EU Certified Co-Production venture. HHSE plans to comply with the April 30 launch date requirement, and expects to have a major announcement (and "promo reel"
on display at the Company's booth at the Cannes Film Festival / Marche Du Filme in May.
