MR. X, INC. ANNOUNCES "CUBE ZERO!"
Digital Effects Studio Co-Produces the Newest Feature Installment of the Popular Sci-Fi 'Cube' Film Franchise
Toronto, Ontario December 1, 2003 Toronto-based digital effects company Mr. X, Inc. announces an exciting new milestone, with a Co-Producer credit on the new feature film Cube Zero. This sci-fi feature-length project is financed and distributed by Lions Gate Entertainment, produced by Suzanne Colvin-Goulding and Jon Goulding of Mad Circus Films, and co-produced by Dennis Berardi and Eric Robertson of Mr. X. Cube Zero is the third installment in the celebrated Sci-Fi Cube franchise. This film marks a new achievement for Mr. X, as the studios first official foray into producing on a feature film.
The team at Mr. X is known for its collaborative skills in helping filmmakers to realize the full potential of their vision through digital artistry. The move to co-produce at the feature level was therefore a natural one. Cube Zero represents a vital step for Mr. X, comments Co-Producer Dennis Berardi. Weve provided invaluable production support for years on a variety of high-profile features. Now were at last moving into producing, and we are incredibly excited about the new opportunities this kind of involvement will bring to our studio. Mr. X will also be providing all visual effects for Cube Zero, with Mr. Xs Aaron Weintraub serving as Visual Effects Supervisor.
The Cube series is tailor-made for Mr. X, as it offers a worldwide cult following as well as significant critical praise, and allows the studio to harness its own superb skills in effects as part of the producing package. Comments Cube Zeros Director and Writer, Ernie Barbarash: Despite its modest budget, Cube Zero has very intricate technical and production needs, so we were looking for partners in the process not just a visual effects company. He adds, We chose Mr. X for the project simply because they are the best. Theyve always delivered beautiful work on time, and on budget. Dennis, Eric, Aaron, and the rest of the team are incredibly creative, and go above and beyond the call of duty. Mr. X is the ideal collaborator there was never even a question of going to anyone else. Mr. X plans to pursue other projects as Co-Producers with a view to producing their own projects in the future.
Cube Zero, being the third film in the series that began with Cube in 1997, followed by Cube 2: Hypercube in 2002, will continue the tradition of the series with some truly ingenious traps and scares. Barbarashs primary goal was to create a believable prequel that would mesh seamlessly with the cube mythology created by Vincenzo Natali in 1997. I hope that we raise at least as many questions as we answer, comments Barbarash. After all, that was one of the most successful elements of Vincenzos original film its philosophical questioning was really the heart of the film.
In creating the look and feel of Cube Zero, the filmmakers purposely turned away from the hyper-clean look and feel of Hypercube, choosing to go in a grittier direction for the series, with Production Designer Jon Goulding and Director Ernie Barbarash finding inspiration among such raw, dark and critically acclaimed films as The City of Lost Children, Brazil, and Dark City. Even the traps are much more physical and raw than those we had in Hypercube, Barbarash adds.
