Enjoy Benjamin P.'s interview with Alex Zamm, Director, Under Wraps
Enjoy Benjamin P.'s interview with Alex Zamm, Director, Under Wraps. Alex Zamm is an American director and screenwriter with a focus on creating family entertainment that is often visual effects heavy and frequently incorporates animals and kids. Zamm recently directed, co-wrote and co-produced the hybrid CGI-live action film, Woody Woodpecker, based on the classic Walter Lantz character. The successful theatrical and streaming release of the film led to Zamm being asked by Universal to expand the Woody brand by producing, directing, and co-writing ten original 2-D animated shorts for YouTube, , which have received 100 million views worldwide.
Zamm has directed two of the highest grossing live action direct to SVOD/DVD titles of all time, Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 and Inspector Gadget 2 for Disney. And his Wonderful World Of Disney film, My Date With The President's Daughter garnered he and his writing partner a Writer's Guild Of American nomination for Best Children's Programming.
Under Wraps follows three 12-year-old friends, Marshall, Gilbert and Amy, as they happen upon and awaken a mummy, which they affectionately name Harold, and must rush to return him to his resting place before midnight on Halloween. Along the way, the team narrowly escapes a nefarious group of criminals who are intent on selling the mummy to the highest bidder. When Harold is inevitably captured, Marshall, Gilbert and Amy must band together to stand up to the criminals, face their fears and rescue their new—but rather "ancient"—friend. Starring are Malachi Barton ("Marshall"); Christian J. Simon ("Gilbert"); Sophia Hammons ("Amy"); Phil Wright ("Harold"); Melanie Brook ("Buzzy"); Brent Stait ("Kubot"); Jordana Largy ("Diane") and, Jaime M. Callica ("Ted") and Karin Konoval ("Ravensworth").
Produced by MarVista Entertainment, "Under Wraps" is directed by Alex Zamm (R.L. Stine's "The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It," "Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2") with Todd Y. Murata ("Sightless," "Best. Worst. Weekend. Ever.") and Fernando Szew ("Back of the Net," "16 Wishes") as Executive Producers for MarVista Entertainment. Based on the original movie written by Don Rhymer, the writing team of the remake is Zamm and William Robertson ("Inspector Gadget 2," "Woody Woodpecker").
