Having just sold the Hank Williams drama I SAW THE LIGHT, starring Tom Hiddleston, to Sony Pictures Classics and now into production on the Ricky Gervais picture SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS with Netflix, Bron Studios is going big on its first animated feature film HENCHMEN. A who’s who of today’s top talent, including James Marsden (The D-Train, Anchorman 2, HBO’s upcoming “Westworld”), Thomas Middleditch (TV’s “Silicon Valley,” The Wolf of Wall Street), Rosario Dawson (TV’s “Daredevil”, Top Five), Alfred Molina (Love is Strange, Spider-Man 2), Nathan Fillion (TV’s “Castle”), Jane Krakowski (TV’s “30 Rock,” “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”), Rob Riggle (Dumb and Dumber To, 21 & 22 Jump Street), Craig Robinson (This is The End, Hot Tub Time Machine) and Will Sasso (The Three Stooges) have been cast to give voice to Bron’s original upcoming animated film HENCHMEN, currently in production at the company’s studios in Burnaby and Duncan, British Columbia.
“We are absolutely thrilled to have such exceptional actors bring life to the characters in our film,” said Bron Studios’ Managing Director Aaron L. Gilbert. “It’s the next step in making the unique world of Henchmen, our first animated feature film, truly spectacular.”
A Bron Studios production in association with CW Media Finance, HENCHMEN is written and directed by Adam Wood (Escape from Planet Earth, Space Chimps), produced by Bron Studios’ Aaron L. Gilbert and Luke Carroll; and executive produced by Jason Cloth of CW Media Finance and Bron’s Brenda Gilbert. WME Global is handling sales of the film outside Canada.
