Xilam Initiates Production of 'The Wolf', an Animated Feature for Adults
Xilam Films has greenlit the production of an adult animated feature titled 'The Wolf', an adaptation of the graphic novel by Jean-Marc Rochette. The film, co-produced with Bidibul Productions and supported by Crunchyroll, is scheduled for completion in April 2027; Goodfellas will handle international marketing and ARP will distribute it in theaters in France.
An Adaptation Directed by the Creators of 'I Lost My Body'
The project is co-written and directed by Benjamin Massoubre and Fursy Tessier, who previously collaborated on the feature film 'I Lost My Body', nominated for the Academy Awards in 2020. Sabine Dabadie joins the creative team as a co-writer. The film blends 3D animation techniques with traditional drawings to create a cinematic effect with a pictorial aesthetic.

A Prestigious Cast for Voice-Over
