Now THIS makes a whole lot more sense than what we’ve been hearing so far. That Justice League movie that we’ve heard may be fast tracking over at Warner… well… it is on the move… but NOT A LIVE ACTION FILM. Our friends over at IESB have just got confirmation that it looks like Justice League will be a full motion captured CGI film.
Here’s what IESB had to say:
We have just received an interesting email that indicates the Justice League of America film might be headed to the world of Motion Capture! I wasn’t sure about the validity of the email, so I went in search of some confirmation. I got it. I got confirmation from several sources from ILM to Rhythm and Hues that said the same thing. From what we are hearing, there may be some truth to this, but again, right now it’s a rumor and we will post final confirmation if this is true or not when we have it.
Ok, now follow me here… if this is true, then it’s a BRILLIANT move. It’s a win/win/win.
1) First of all it’s been a while since we had a full motion capture CGI film, and I’d love to see what they can do with the new technology.
2) A film like Justice League would only be limited by the imagination of the director in a full CGI motion capture environment.
3) This wouldn’t interfere with the current Batman or Superman projects
4) It would still help Warner Bros. increase the recognition of their secondary characters like Flash and Wonder Woman for possible live action adaptations.
So yeah, over all… if this is indeed true, I will do a complete 180 and go from calling a Justice League movie a horrible idea, to being an absolutely great one. Let’s hope this is indeed what Warner is aiming for. Thanks to TY for the heads up.
