PAUL´S NEW PROJECT: SEVEN OR EIGHT NEW SONGS FOR "HIGH IN THE CLOUDS" ANIMATED FILM

Paul  has penned seven or eight new songs for an upcoming animated feature he's producing titled High in the Clouds, based on the children's book Paul co-authored in 2005. 

RGH Entertainment, which only a few months ago was having trouble meeting its payroll, is back on its feet. It’s paid all of its current and former employees the wages they were owed, reinstated its health plan, and is promising to pay bonuses for the payroll delays. The company, which is producing Paul’s animated feature High In The Clouds, is also at the forefront in of a breakthrough in the way 3D entertainment will be experienced in the future.

The company RGH Entertainment that's been tasked with creating a "sizzle reel" for High in the Clouds, which will also feature Paul providing the voice for one of the film's characters.

One of the songs featured in High in the Clouds is a collaboration between Paul and Lady Gaga. In February, Gaga hinted that she was working in the studio with McCartney on an unspecified project.

"Had a beautiful session with Sir Paul McCartney and friends. Working on one of his many secret projects! Killer musicians, vibe, and lots of laughs," Gaga wrote on Instagram. "Always a good time with my buddy. I'll never forget when he called me last year to work and I hung up the phone cuz I thought it was a prank!" Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready happened to be one of the "killer musicians" who also took part in the sessions.

The film is based on a children’s book of the same name that McCartney penned. Cody Cameron, who directed Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2, is directing from a script by Josh Klausner, who wrote Date Night and co-wrote Shrek Forever After. RGH, in partnership with Unique Features, plans to show the sizzle reel at AFM in November.

Themed entertainment is the other major component of RGH’s business, and it’s created a 360-degree, domed 3D experience that makes today’s 3D movies look to me like they’re being shown on old-time View Masters. Its patented 3D technology immerses the viewer inside scenes played out on a wrap-around screen, or in a planetarium-like dome. They are developing the technology to be used in film, theme park rides, museums and corporate presentations.

High in the Clouds will be helmed by Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 director Cody Cameron and penned by Date Night screenwriter Josh Klausner. No release date for the animated film or its soundtrack has been announced yet, but RGH plans on premiering their sizzle reel in November at the American Film Market in Santa Monica, California.

The High in the Clouds 3D feature film was formally announced in September 2013 (although it was in the works as far back as 2009) with a planned 2015 release date, Variety wrote. But things have shuffled a bit since it was greenlit, most notably the departure of Mulan director Tony Bancroft. Paul also planned on providing a score for the film – his first time composing a complete film score since 1967's The Family Way – but it's unclear whether that is still the case.

"High in the Clouds is a passion project for me,” Paul said in a statement at the time. "I am thrilled to be working in partnership with Randa Ayoubi and David Corbett at RGH, and David Michael Lynne and Bob Shaye of Unique Features. Working with the highly creative talent at these companies together with Josh Klausner and Tony Bancroft, we will be able to create a warm, funny and moving animated film that will resonate with worldwide audiences."
