If Angel Studios were to acquire David Soren's canceled animated film Spooky Jack, mirroring Ketchup Entertainment's move with Coyote vs. Acme, they would need to secure the intellectual property rights from the original creators (DreamWorks Animation and Blumhouse Productions) and manage its completion and marketing. Actions a Distributor Could Take Before Release Before releasing a previously canceled or shelved film, a distributor like Angel Studios would typically take several steps: Acquire Rights: The primary step would be to negotiate and acquire the full distribution rights and intellectual property (IP) from the original production companies, DreamWorks Animation and Blumhouse Productions. The original deal was between DWA and Blumhouse, under the Universal umbrella, and the rights are likely still held within those entities unless they reverted to the original writer. Assess the Project Status: Spooky Jack was canceled relatively early in development (pre-production), unlike the completed Coyote vs. Acme. Angel Studios would need to assess the existing script, any concept art, voice recordings, and animation progress to determine the scope of work needed to complete the film. Secure Financing: The studio would need to finance the remaining production costs. Angel Studios is known for its equity crowdfunding model, which it could use to raise the necessary funds for completion. Recast or Rehire if Needed: Since no cast was announced for Spooky Jack before cancellation, Angel Studios would need to cast voice actors. If they wanted to "keep the cast involved" as in the Coyote vs. Acme scenario, they would need to work with the existing script and potentially re-engage the original director, David Soren, depending on his current contractual obligations and willingness to participate. Finalize Production/Post-Production: This is the most significant step. They would have to commission an animation studio to complete the actual animation, editing, sound mixing, and visual effects needed to create a final cut. Develop a Marketing Strategy: Angel Studios excels at grassroots, faith-based, and family-oriented marketing. They would tailor the marketing to their target audience, potentially emphasizing the family-friendly scare aspects and the themes of overcoming fears. Set a Release Date: Once the film is complete and a marketing plan is in place, they would schedule a theatrical release, much like they did for Animal Farm and David. Potential Animation Studio Handler If Angel Studios acquired the rights, they would need a new animation studio to handle the work, as the original production was linked to DreamWorks Animation, which is now tied to Universal. Independent Animation Studios: Angel Studios typically works with independent production and animation companies rather than major Hollywood studios. For example, their film David was made by the independent studio Slingshot USA. MOFAC: The animation studio that created The King of Kings (which Angel Studios distributed in non-South Korea markets) is an example of a potential partner. New Partnership: Angel Studios could partner with a new independent animation studio that aligns with their production model and budget to bring Spooky Jack to fruition.
