RODDENBERRY ENTERTAINMENT PARTNERS WITH STORYOSCOPIC FILMS TO DEVELOP "HOLOSCAPE" SERIES FOR INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCES

Los Angeles (July 13, 2016) - In a partnership between two trailblazing companies - one known for properties that traverse space and time, the other for business practices that connect West and East with strong Chinese elements - Roddenberry Entertainment's television series "Holoscape" has been optioned by Storyoscopic Films. The sci-fi/speculative fiction project will be a co-production between the two companies, with Jump! Creative also producing and distribution partners/platforms now under consideration. Executive Producers will be Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth for Roddenberry Entertainment, Marcus Englefield, George Lee and Brent Baum for Storyoscopic Films, and Doug Triconi for Jump! Creative.

Like the original "Star Trek" and its progeny, "Holoscape" is envisioned as a television program with international appeal, driven by strong diversity in its cast, characters and scope. The series is set in the aftermath of World War 3 and the collapse of civilization. Using a mysterious device from the war, a powerful artifact called the Holoscape, a group of young survivors discover that they are part of a conspiracy that has shaped the destiny of humankind, but are given the chance to escape their present and save our future.

"Storyoscopic holds a unique place in the industry due to its strong ties to China and the International Market," said Trevor Roth, Head of Development for Roddenberry Entertainment. "That, along with its sense for strong properties and compelling stories, makes them a perfect collaborator for a global concept like 'Holoscape.'"

Marcus Englefield of Storyoscopic Films added, "From cast and locations, to stories and sensibilities, this property was made for international success. There is no more fitting a name than Roddenberry to create something with such planetary appeal, and there is no more fitting a concept than 'Holoscape' to bring Eastern and Western worlds together in this way."
