France’s Loco Films has boarded German filmmaker Veit Helmer’s family adventure film Akiko The Flying Monkey.
The film follows its titular talking primate after he escapes from a zoo and forms an unlikely bond with an eagle, a raccoon and a chameleon. They help him to reunite with his family and free all the animals in the city.
The live-action title is produced by writer-director Helmer’s production house Veit Helmer-Filmproduktion and is in post for delivery later this year.
Deputy managing director Olivier Henrard has been appointed interim director.
The untitled biopic is being produced by Hugo Selignac’s Chi-Fou-Mi Productions.
