Son of the MaskPRODUCTION NOTESComplete text from New Line Productions (3 pages) More mischief…more mayhem….more magic. The Mask is back! A decade after the legendary Mask of Loki wreaked havoc on the life of an unsuspecting adult in New Line Cinema’s hit The Mask, the magical mask finds its way into the possession of a young father in the family comedy Son of the Mask. Just as aspiring cartoonist Tim Avery (Jamie Kennedy) gets over his fear of parenthood with the birth of his new son Alvey, he quickly finds himself in over his head as his new baby is born with the Mask’s spectacular powers. Further complicating matters is the family’s jealous dog, who turns the household upside down and sparks a comical kid-versus-canine battle for control of the Mask. But unbeknownst to them all, the mischievous Norse god Loki (Alan Cumming) has come looking for his Mask, and is willing to do whatever it takes to get it back. Directed by Lawrence Guterman (Cats & Dogs), Son of the Mask stars Jamie Kennedy (Malibu’s Most Wanted, The WB’s “The Jamie Kennedy Experiment”), Alan Cumming (Spy Kids; X2: X-Men United), Traylor Howard (Me, Myself and Irene) and Bob Hoskins (Last Orders), and features the eye-popping visual effects work of Industrial Light & Magic and Tippett Studios. Written by Lance Khazei, the film is produced by Erica Huggins and Scott Kroopf, with Beau Marks and Mike Richardson serving as the executive producers. Stephen Jones is co-producer. Son of the Mask (rated “PG” by the M.P.A.A. for “action, crude and suggestive humor, and language”) will be released in theaters nationwide on February 18th, 2005.
