Bleu graduates High School for Rigel movie
LA's Rigel Entertainment is poised to begin principal photography
on an action-filled movie featuring High School Musical star
Corbin Bleu.
Shooting on motocross movie Metal Birding gets underway in
Vancouver next month, telling a tale of "perseverance and
sacrifice set amidst the physically demanding and visually
spectacular world of motocross."
John Laing, CEO of Rigel Entertainment, said: "Metal Birding has
all the elements of box office success: a great story packed with
tension and emotion, a hugely popular star and motocross stunts
that will wow the audience."
Bleu stars in the coming-of-age film as 19-year-old Cale Bryant,
a pre-eminent racer on the local motocross circuit whose dream
of winning the amateur national championships is surpassed only
by his devotion to his down-on-their-luck family.
The film is directed by Jeff Woolnough (Dark Angel, Battlestar
Galactica) and uses an original screenplay written by Jeffrey
Nicholson and Joshua Leibner (Danika). Rigel owns all worldwide
rights to the film, produced in association with Up North
Entertainment.
