Wonderfilm Sets Muralikrishna Thalluri Film for Production

The Wonderfilm Media Corporation (TSXV:WNDR) (OTC PINK:WDRFF) (FRA:25Y), (“Wonderfilm” or the “Company”) announced today that it has green lit the Muralikrishna Thalluri feature film “Run”, which carries an anticipated production budget of $20 million CAD, to begin principal photography early in the third quarter of 2019. Wonderfilm is on pace to meet its expected target of 17 produced films in the 2019 calendar year. Currently, 9 films are in production, with another 16 movies green lit for production in the near term.

“Run” was written and is to be directed by Murali Thalluri, who is the youngest director of a feature ever to be accepted as an official selection in the Cannes Film Festival. Mr. Thalluri said of Run, “It amazes me how children manage to find magic, wonder and mystery amidst the most tragic and hopeless of circumstances. Stories like ‘Life Is Beautiful’, ‘The Jungle Book’, ‘Peter Pan’, and so on, have inspired me to use the vast and mysterious landscape of India as our canvas to the story of Grace and Kishore, an American girl and Indian boy both sold into slavery and forced to run for the their lives as we follow their adrenaline filled, magical, heartbreaking yet uplifting story of hope and innocence in the midst of a much darker world. Run is a modern-day fable about two children from opposite worlds bonded by heartache and a journey that will not only change their lives but millions more like them forever.”

Kirk Shaw, CEO, commented, “Run is a remarkable project and we are honored to be producing this film with Murali. We have seen the power of Run with the response from ‘A-list’ talent and are finalizing talks for our leads.”

Wonderfilm will be producing along with Mr. Thalluri and Kent Smith. Lance Gewer (Academy Award winning Tsotsi, Kite) has come aboard as Director of Photography.
