Abrams\u2019 Bad Robot Productions.<\/p>\n<p>NoneMore will work with the author and additional partners to develop his stories for film, television and other formats. NoneMore\u2019s first project will be an animated short film adaptation of Mackesy\u2019s book being co-produced with Bad Robot. Abrams and Bad Robot\u2019s president of motion pictures, Hannah Minghella, will serve as producers on the project alongside Speller and NoneMore\u2019s Matthew Freud.<\/p>\n<p>The half-hour short will feature hand-drawn animation capturing the look and spirit of the book and will see a team of artists work alongside Mackesy to bring the project to the big screen.<\/p>\n<p>Mackesy said: \u201cI\u2019m continually surprised by everything, and I\u2019m excited by this film. It\u2019s a new adventure for me, and it\u2019s another way for people to experience the journey of the four unlikely friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Minghella said: \u201cCharlie has created an instant classic. From the beauty of his illustrations to the deeply moving and profound questions these characters contemplate, <em>The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse<\/em> is a balm for the soul. As we continue our own journey into animation at Bad Robot, J.J. and I are thrilled to be partnering with Charlie, Cara and Matthew to bring these beloved characters to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speller said: \u201cFrom the first moment of seeing Charlie\u2019s soulful characters, I wanted to know more about them and how they interact with each other beyond the moments in the book. The opportunity to bring them even further to life with the magic that animation promises, and to introduce them to an even wider audience, is an incredibly exciting prospect that we can\u2019t wait to explore.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charlie Mackesy, author of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, has teamed up with producer Cara Speller to form NoneMore Productions, which has struck up a partnership with J.J.
