Harry here... Ok dammit... when do we get a trailer for this puppy? I'm DYING TO SEE FOOTAGE! The script is amazing, and the comparison that it has the 30's look down as well as DOWN WITH LOVE had the 60's movie style look... is just so mouth-wateringly enticing that I'm in fits. MUST SEE DECO SCI-FI MASTERPIECE with GIANT ROBOTS!!!
Harry -
I don't think I've ever written you before, but I'm a frequent visitor to your site and I caught a few unfinished minutes of a movie called 'World of Tomorrow" here in New York and I thought it might interest you. I was surprised because I haven't heard much about this movie, but apparently it was shot entirely against blue screen on digital video by a first time director. It stars Jude Law, Gwenyth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, and Giovanni Ribisi.
And, even in rough form, it looks fantastic.
Like "Down With Love" was a 60s-style movie shot like a 60s movie, World looks almost exactly like a 1930s sci-fi flick. The fact that the backgrounds and other elements look hand-drawn actually adds rather than detracts from the appeal. This could be the first example of a movie in which the stiff and artificial look that the blue screen creates actually improves the overall effect. It reminded me of an Alan Moore comic come to life (Giant robots walking down the streets of Art Deco Manhattan? Awesome)
Anyway...I hadn't seen much talk of this movie online, so I thought I'd throw in my two-cents. Definitely one to keep your eye on. It's due out in June.
