The former headmaster of one of Delaware's most exclusive prep schools was convicted Monday on 25 counts of child pornography. Christopher Wheeler, 54, was arrested last November after cops searched his home, office and private plane following allegations of child sex abuse made by two Pennsylvania brothers, the News Journal reports. The former Tower Hill School headmaster was not charged with abuse, but the search led authorities to find the disturbing images and charge him on 25 counts of child pornography instead. He was convicted on all counts. Defense attorney Tom Foley argued that prosecutors could not prove that Wheeler had viewed the images or even downloaded them.

Hot on the heels of creating the animation for The Lego Movie 3D, which has amassed $US330 million worldwide, Animal Logic has been restructured into three divisions.
The group will now comprise Animal Logic Animation; Animal Logic VFX; and Animal Logic Entertainment, a Los Angeles-based feature film development arm that is nurturing a slate of animation, hybrid animation and live-action and director and VFX-driven films.
Eighteen months after the company bought Fuel VFX, its personnel have been integrated with Animal Logic.s VFX teams and the Fuel VFX brand has been dropped.
.The newly consolidated division will trade as Animal Logic VFX, incorporating the wealth of talent and technology under one roof, further strengthening its ongoing commitment to the Australian and international VFX industry,. Animal Logic CEO Zareh Nalbandian tells If.
.On the back of the success of The Lego Movie it is a logical step to have a clearer structure across the company.

Exclusive: Warner Bros has acquired Nemesis, a spec script by Christopher Wheeler that Animal Logic Entertainment, Safehouse Pictures and Weed Road will jointly produce. I don’t recall ever writing a spec script deal story that includes setting someone to do a rewrite. But the Warner Bros deal includes the hiring of a new writer in Craig Rosenberg, the Australian writer who has the Takashi Shimizu -directed 7500 for CBS Films and The Quiet Ones for Lionsgate. How did this happen? Wheeler, the Australian writer who was known as “The Film Pope,” died four years ago at age 40 of natural causes. His script went dormant until Safehouse’s Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell met with Zareh Nalbandian and Jason Lust of Animal Logic and got it going again. Animal Logic had originally developed it. Weed Road’s Akiva Goldsman will produce with Harold, Tunnell, Nalbandian and Lust.
