 **//Aquarica//** received development support from [[http://www.sodec.gouv.qc.ca/fr/home|SODEC]] in [[en:dictionary:2013|2013]] and [[en:dictionary:2015|2015]], and from The Harold Greenberg Fund in [[en:dictionary:2016|2016]]. The latest plan was to finance the film in [[en:dictionary:2019|2019]], and to produce it in [[en:dictionary:2020|2020]]. But these plans were postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. [[en:dictionary:sokal-benoit|Benoît Sokal]]'s death in [[en:dictionary:2021|2021]] further delayed the project, with Villeneuve then shifting his focus on his second feature film, //**The 12 Tasks of Imelda**//, which he completed in [[en:dictionary:2022|2022]], and on his animated series //**Red Ketchup**//, released in [[en:dictionary:2023|2023]].((See: https://www.bubbleblabber.com/2024/01/exclusive-interview-martin-villeneuve-on-finding-the-right-ingredients-for-red-ketchups-gonzo-recipe/))

-Among other projects, I’m currently immersed in the adaptation of //Aquarica//, based on the graphic novels by European masters François Schuiten and Benoît Sokal, two other childhood heroes of mine. This project has been in the works for over ten years, originating from my collaboration with Schuiten after my feature film debut, //Mars & April//, on which he served as Production Designer. Aquarica unfolds the tale of a young woman embarking on a quest to rescue her ailing home world from the perils of climate change. As a fantasy animated feature film, I’ll be directing, with Schuiten once again acting as Production Designer. Despite the setback caused by Sokal’s unfortunate passing a few years ago, his legacy lives on within the project. Rue de Sèvres has released //Aquarica// in two volumes to stellar reviews, and the movie is currently in development at ON Animation studio. Given my intense focus on //Red Ketchup// in recent years, another writer is currently crafting a new draft, and we’re optimistic about bringing the movie to life in the upcoming years.

-À l’origine, mais c’était vraiment succinct, j’avais un début de piste dont j’ai parlé à François. Peu à peu, cela s’est insinué dans son esprit. Mais on n’a rien forcé, on a juste commencé avec cette idée d’une baleine tellement grande qu’on pouvait croire qu’il s’agissait d’une île sur laquelle des naufragés auraient pu s’échouer et vivre une vie de Robinson. Voilà, c’était juste ça l’idée de départ ((See: http://lecourrierplus.fr/bulles-picardes/32373/)).
+Originally, but it was really succinct, I had a starting point that I talked about with François. Gradually, it insinuated itself into his mind. But we didn't force anything, we just started with this idea of a whale so big that it could be mistaken for an island where shipwrecked people could have landed and lived a Robinson Crusoe-like life. That's it, that was just the starting idea. ((See: http://lecourrierplus.fr/bulles-picardes/32373/)).
