Spicy Horse follows up news of the cancellation of their OZombie Kickstarter with a new Kickstarter for "Alice: Otherlands by American McGee," an effort to secure the film rights to American McGee's Alice and create a series of animated shorts with the ultimate goal of producing a feature film based on the property. Here's word on their plans for the $200K they seek: "If this campaign is successful you will receive, at a minimum, an animated adventure into Otherlands. Beyond that, the success of this campaign will bring us one step closer to seeing Alice on the big screen." They also address the obvious concerns about a film project from a game developer in their "Risks and challenges" caption:

Because Spicy Horse is a game studio and not an animation or film production house, the biggest risk in acquiring these rights and working with them will come in how we choose and collaborate with external partners. That being said, we do have experience working with external 3D animation houses (see animations for Alice: Madness Returns marketing). For feature film (either live action or animation) we're already being approached by well-known producers, writers and directors - and would strive to work only with the best possible partners in order to reduce risk and achieve the highest quality.
