South African funny man, actor and movie producer, Leon Schuster (Mr. Bones) has secured a deal with the Walt Disney Company. The Hollywood company has agreed to partly finance his new venture that is still unnamed and was apparently inspired by a Jamie Uys movie.
Disney has indicated, through its publicity company in South Africa, that the support for Schuster is a firm indication of its commitment to the local entertainment industry.
The movie will have the full support of Disney's marketing and distribution infrastructure.
Disney has not guaranteed sales of the movie in overseas markets but has given the assurance that it will work hard to secure various international deals once the movie is completed.
