Aardman Features, the UK makers of “Wallace & Gromit” and “Chicken Run” films, is finalizing a deal with Sony Pictures that gets it back into the U.S. market three months after its partnership with the Dreamworks studio ended.
Sony Pictures Entertainment said on Monday it was in final negotiations for a three-year, first-look deal with Aardman Features, the feature film division of Aardman Animations Ltd.
Sony Pictures is a unit of Japanese electronics maker Sony Corp.. The Sony film studio’s hits include the James Bond blockbuster “Casino Royale,” the “Spider-Man” movies and “The Da Vinci Code.”

Hopefully Aardman gets what they need to make their films, and are left to their own creative devices. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
