Robert Zemeckis is having a love affair and he is making us watch. His mistress? Motion Capture animation and Christmas.
Polar Express was just one try, now A Christmas Carol. But he isn’t done there! The classic Christmas tale The Nutcracker is next on his list.
Zemeckis wants to use motion capture to retell the Christmas classic The Nutcracker. The movie would be based on the E.T.A. Hoffmann novel, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, and set in 19th century Russia. And yes, of course it will use his patented performance capture technology, and will likely be released in 3-D.
I didn’t care at all for that horror film called the Polar Express. Even Tom Hanks loveable charm wasn’t enough to get me past those eyes. Those creepy haunting eyes!!!
Well it looks like the eyes are a little less creepy in A Christmas Carol so maybe its a step in the right direction.
