Stereo Vision Entertainment, Inc. (OTCBB: SVSN), a film production company focused exclusively on developing high quality, low cost, polarized 3D feature films, announced today that Jim Byrkit has signed on as Director for Stereo Vision's family fun pirate's movie "Booty 3D."
Stereo Vision's Chief Executive Officer Jack Honour stated, "Jim Byrkit's love of filmmaking is well known throughout the Industry. For the last ten years he's been working on film projects, side by side, with Gore Verbinski. He was the first person hired all the way back at the beginning of Pirates of the Caribbean 1, and went with Verbinski on the very first location scout to the Caribbean in 2002. That's when they started forming the visual style of the movie, including the famous intro scene of Jack Sparrow arriving on the sinking ship.
As Conceptual Consultant for the next two Pirates of the Caribbean films, Jim had an expanded role that included storyboarding thousands of hand drawn frames for key action scenes, designing crucial elements including Shipwreck Island, Davy Jones Organ Room, and the amazing Sao Feng Chinese Allegory Map, that features prominently in Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Working with Gore and writers Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio, Jim was a key member of the creative team that brought the two sequel films from a three-page outline to their final finished form.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski personally selected Jim Byrkit to write and direct the new Pirates of the Caribbean short movie that is a 'bonus feature' on the Pirates of the Caribbean World's End DVD. Jim also directed the trailer for Booty. With Jim having final script, cast, and budget approval, he'll be as hands on with Booty 3D as he was with all three of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy."
Stereo Vision's Chairman and Chief Production Officer, Baywatch creator Doug Schwartz added, "Booty 3D is a frolicking family fun film about eight women who get kidnapped by a band of cutthroat pirates. Upon arriving at the pirates' island hideout, they turn the tables when they snatch the pirates' ship filled with all their booty. A chase across the high seas ensues that rivals 'Thelma and Louise' as the desperate band of pirates attempts, by hook or by crook, to track down their treasure laden galleon, and the crafty wenches that tricked them out of it. This is a movie about female empowerment, good versus evil, a true David and Goliath tale with a twist. Booty 3D is to be filmed on the South Seas paradise island of Fiji, in state-of-the-art digital 3D. It will be filled with blue skies, spectacular South Pacific scenery, beautiful women, and despicable pirates. Booty 3D is the kind of movie that will be fun for the whole family."
