Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

skycaptain_1.jpgI just LOVE the look of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Geek Roar pretty much summed up perfectly everything I was going to say about it, so I’ll just quote him here:

I just got my first glimpse at the upcoming movie Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow (2004) from the trailer and am rather taken by the distinctive look of the piece. The movie is set in 1939 with Sky Captain (played by Jude Law) saving America from giant robots created by a mad scientist bent on world domination. The film also stars Gwyneth Paltrow as the intrepid reporter, Angelina Jolie as Captain Franky Cook and Ling Bai as The Mysterious Woman. Sky Captain is the movie that made some waves around FX circles when it was announced as the first project that would exercise first time writer / director Kerry Conrans unique CGI program that allows the movie be shot almost entirely against blue screen with sets added in post production.

I think this looks like it could be a pretty fun film. Do yourself a favor and check out the trailer here.

  1. If the rest of the film is as consistently stylized as the trailer this is gonna be one great film. It is the movie studios would have made in the late ’30s if they had a way to do it.

    Now that they can, I’m glad they did. Bring it on!

  2. When I first watched the trailer, I actually wasn’t overly impressed with it. However, after reading the quote and realizing what technology was used to create the film, I’m looking forward to seeing it.
