and— is expanding with the launch of an animation unit that will produce original feature and streaming content. Majority owners Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh plan to plan a key role in the unit, including writing, producing and directing several not yet disclosed animated projects.
In his new role, Akkaraju — who will split his time between L.A. and New Zealand — will work closely with Weta’s senior creative team, including three-time Oscar winning senior VFX supervisor Joe Letteri and executive VFX producer David Conley. Said Jackson, "We are huge fans of animated storytelling in all of its forms, but it can be along, protracted, and often costly way to make movies. That's, in part, why we have created this company--to change the model and open the doors to filmmakers and storytellers who might not otherwise be given the chance to show what they can do."
