Hyde Park Entertainment and Image Nation Abu Dhabi are set to finance and co-produce Arctic family adventure feature "Midnight Sun" which begins shooting in Canadian Arctic and Manitoba in November.
Set amongst the ice fields of Northern Canada, the story follows a young boy who defies the dangerous elements of nature to reunite an abandoned polar bear cub with its mother.
At first he's aided by a half Inuit/half Canadian who knows the terrain, but they are soon separated on the floating ice of the high Arctic with the boy and cub braving bear attacks, giant icebergs, and vicious windstorms.
Hugh Hudson ("Chariots of Fire", "Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan") helms from a script he co-wrote with Bart Gavigan. Jake Eberts, Brando Quilici and Ashok Amritraj will produce.

A top documentarian has solved the 3,000-year-old mystery of what killed Egyptian king Tutankhamen with the help of high-tech science.
Brando Quilici worked with top researchers, using DNA tests and Ct scans, to determine King Tut's cause of death - and came to the conclusion the legendary pharoah died of complications of a broken leg and malaria.
The life and death of King Tut has puzzled scholars the world over ever since his tomb was discovered in 1922.
Quilici's King Tut Unwrapped film will also unearth other medical findings about the ancient Egyptian - like the fact he suffered from a cleft palate and had a club foot.
The filmmaker created cigarette-sized cameras to capture the precise work of the researchers as they tested the DNA on a royal Egyptian mummy for the first time.
Quilici says, "King Tut is such a famous name but so little is known about him; we just knew when he was born and when he died. So now, thanks to the DNA, (leading Egyptologist) Dr. Zahi Hawass was able to identify the father... who is an extremely well-known pharoah, called Akhenaten. It's very important because he's the first Egyptian pharoah... who started to believe in one single god."
The study featured in the documentary also unearths the fact that Tutankhamen's parents were siblings and that his stepmother was fabled queen Nefertiti.
