If Valve<\/a> haven’t already proven that they can do it all, the talented company are now going to assist in building a new animated movie project.<\/p>\n

The game company is teaming up with Shane Acker, who directed the 2009 animated movie, 9, which featured the voice work of Elijah Wood and Jennifer Connelly.<\/p>\n

Brown Bag Films (now in association with Valve) are cooperatively developing a new film called Deep.<\/p>\n

Deep will be set in post-World War III apocalyptic environment – it is an underwater adventure film and will use Valve’s Source engine to help out with animation duties.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Acker's '9' was a critical and commercial success.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Source engine will allow real-time rendering, editing and simplified character animation to be implemented within the project, with the engine also allowing for the movie to be easily adapted to a video game (if that’s what the plan is).<\/p>\n

Brown Bag is also said to be interested in distributing the movie on Steam’s digital platform.<\/p>\n

The project is currently in pre-production, although should hit full swing within the very near future.<\/p>\n
