I have not been able to talk about it, but I&#8217;ve been working on it for almost three years now and it is going to be fantastic. All I can tell you is that it is all about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scfilmsinternational.com\/wish-3d.html\">secret world of wishing wells.<\/a> What happens when we throw a coin down a well? Christmas has Santa, Dreams have the Sandman, and after this film,\u00a0WISHING\u00a0will have\u00a0its own\u00a0rich and detailed mythology. You&#8217;ll just have to find out the WHO and the WHY of this world when the movie comes out! I hope to have some casting announcements soon as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"frame-outer  aligncenter size-full wp-image-1240\"><span><span><span><span><a href=\"http:\/\/coryedwards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/supermassive-black-hole-110216.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1240\" src=\"http:\/\/coryedwards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/supermassive-black-hole-110216.jpg\" alt=\"supermassive-black-hole-110216\" width=\"415\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"http:\/\/coryedwards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/supermassive-black-hole-110216.jpg 558w, http:\/\/coryedwards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/supermassive-black-hole-110216-300x139.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 558px) 100vw, 558px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>NEXT MOVIE:<\/strong> I am already in preproduction and writing on my next film. There is no firm title yet but what I can tell you is that it is an animated action comedy for producer\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/variety.com\/2014\/film\/news\/shrek-producer-john-williams-launching-animated-production-company-exclusive-1201308805\/\">John H. Williams.<\/a>\u00a0It involves space, superpowers and the hard choices we make when it&#8217;s time to grow up. Obscure enough for you? One more big component to the project is that I am going to be living in <strong>Montreal<\/strong> to work on it. A huge studio called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinesite.com\/feature-animation\/\">CINESITE<\/a>\u00a0stationed there will be creating all aspects of\u00a0the production. So I am moving my entire family to Canada almost immediately. It is a big leap for all of us, but we have chosen to embrace the adventure. Hey, in this business you have to go where the work is. And no, I speak no French.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/coryedwards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/OldTime_Radio_Mic1.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><span class=\"frame-outer  small aligncenter size-full wp-image-1244\"><span><span><span><span><a href=\"http:\/\/coryedwards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/monkey_king_hero_is_back.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1244\" src=\"http:\/\/coryedwards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/monkey_king_hero_is_back.jpg\" alt=\"monkey_king_hero_is_back\" width=\"415\" height=\"109\" srcset=\"http:\/\/coryedwards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/monkey_king_hero_is_back.jpg 1080w, http:\/\/coryedwards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/monkey_king_hero_is_back-300x79.jpg 300w, http:\/\/coryedwards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/monkey_king_hero_is_back-1024x269.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt4644382\/\">MONKEY KING<\/a>:<\/strong> Here&#8217;s something cool&#8230; I did some writing on the English version of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=v33o9deALkA\">&#8220;Monkey King: Hero Is Back.&#8221;<\/a>\u00a0The original Chinese version\u00a0was the biggest box office for an animated film in China, ever.

If you just love to hear the sound of my voice, or want to hear more about my work, you can check these out.<\/p>\n<p>The first is the PETE AND PENELOPE PODCAST, launched by my friend Adam Bush as he develops his new kids show. We get deep into discussing the creative process and where good characters come from. You can also hear me share my all-time top favorites in film, TV and stories.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/writer-director-cory-edwards\/id1065964287?i=1000371375037&amp;mt=2\">LISTEN HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The second is the MOBPOD PODCAST, hosted by my sister and cousin, Katie Hooten and Tye Edwards. They are hilarious. We discuss NOTHING serious for about an hour, but the topic is BLOCKBUSTERS. Come listen and reminisce about big summer movies from long ago, as well as discuss the big ones coming out now. We also\u00a0drink coffee and coin the new phrase #HumpTheShark. <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/episode-11-blockbusters!-w\/id998816800?i=1000371667752&amp;mt=2\">LISTEN HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all I have for you good people.
