Academy Award-nominated director Tim Reckart (Head Over Heels) will make his feature directorial debut with faith-based feature The Lamb, Sony Pictures Animation revealed today in a late-Easter Weekend announcement.
First announced in September 2014, The Lamb will be a fully CG-animated pic based on the Christian nativity story, telling the “inspirational story of a young lamb who will change the world” with an all-animal cast.
The film is based on an original pitch by Tom Sheridan (who has also been connected to a Chilly Willy movie at Universal), and will be produced by Sony Pictures Animation in partnership with Franklin Entertainment, owned by DeVon Franklin, the Seventh-day Adventist preacher and former Columbia Pictures executive who oversaw films like Heaven is for Real, The Karate Kid, and The Pursuit Of Happyness.
