Universal and ILM's FRANKENSTEIN
Folks, here's the latest on ILM and Universal's FRANKENSTEIN animated flick, which I'm dying to hear as much as can be heard from behind the scenes... Keep listening and watching folks... it could be cool...
Hiya Harry. I noted on your list o' upcoming flicks that you haven't yet
heard anything about the animated Frankenstein in the works. The latest
Star Wars Insider has a blurb on it. Sounds cool, being largely done by
ILM. I'll cite the key points in the article:
ILM is teaming up with Universal Pictures to create a computer-generated
feature film comeback of the studio's classic Frankenstein movies,
scheduled for release Halloween, 2000. The as-yet-untitled film, for which
ILM is expected to generate roughly 1,5000 computer-generated effects
shots, will be directed by ILM visual effects supervisor Dave Carson and
Brent Maddock, from a screenplay by Maddock and S.S. Wilson (the pair also
wrote the great Tremors and the upcoming Wild, Wild West). . . . Early
reports indicate the movie will stay close to the visual style and feel of
director James Whale's 1931 original (which starred Boris Karloff) and will
also feature the characters Dr. Pretorious (introduced in 1935's Bride of
Frankenstein) and another legendary monster, the Wolfman.
Hope this is useful info!
