You did not misread that folks. I literally just said that.
As the scripting process for “Journey of the Spark” starts to become more and more complete, the team and I behind the film have been estimating the possible runtime that the finished product might end up having. It would appear as though the film will run just a little over 2 hrs.
My original goal with the film was to have the runtime be no longer than 1hr 50min. But it would seem as though that’s not going to happen. The story we initially wanna tell is far too big in scope to have at that length and as nervous as I am that the story will end up being this long, I’m still hoping to deliver on something truly extraordinary.
Please note however that this is only an estimate for what the final runtime might look like and is NOT final. How long will the film eventually run? Who knows for sure. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
Oh boy, when I said we were making some huge progress in terms of casting, I really meant it. Probably our biggest announcement is that we finally acquired a voice actress for Rainbow Dash!
Straight from the fan-favorite comedy series “Friendship is Witchcraft”, say hello to Jenny Nicholson! Beyond FiW, Jenny has been seen showing off her diverse voice and singing talents in various other Brony-related projects including “The Massive Smile Project” and countless others.
We are extremely excited to have her on board for the project and we hope you guys are excited as well! This announcement is just the tip of the iceberg as more announcements are sure to follow!
