Durian is Coming: Blender's Third Open Movie Project

[ Thanks to steve hill for this link. ]

"In any case, producer (and Blender founder) Ton Roosendaal described the theme in these words:

"Short 3D animation film, 5-8 minutes.
Epic short story, emotional impact, action scenes
Targeted at adolescents. Ok, we all still are, right! :)
So let's add a female/girl as main character!
Visual and conceptual appearance of a typical "Hollywood" blockbuster or game trailer As with the previous Blender open movies, Elephants Dream and Big Buck Bunny, the Durian film will be only the centerpiece of the release, with the real meal being the artwork, models, rigs, and technical development that come from the production process."
