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!
