The Dinosaur Project

StudioCanal is releasing The Dinosaur Project into UK Cinemas from August 10, 2012 and then onto Blu-ray and DVD from August 27. The Dinosaur Project features previously unseen footage from the ill-fated, eponymous 2011 expedition to the Congo in search of the Mokele Mbembe.

With the rumours of dinosaurs being alive and well in the Congo, the intrepid reporters from Sky News headed over to Africa to find out exactly what's going on, and to meet the team charged with the duty of finding out once and for all, if dinosaurs live.

Studiocanal are delighted to finally bring this astonishing story of the missing Congo expedition to UK audiences, and the findings of the Cryptozoological Society to audiences around the world. The film features stunning recovered footage of creatures thought to be extinct for 65 million years. As the search for the missing crew continues, questions remain about the source of the missing footage and the manner in which it was discovered.

Producer Nick Hill said in a statement today, "It has been incredible to have the original source material to work with, and we have great respect and admiration for the work of the Cryptozoological Society and are keen to support them in their search. The movie raises important questions about species which conventional science tells us have long since become extinct, and we hope it will help raise awareness of the search to locate the missing persons and the BCZS's on-going work in the Congo.
