Serkis on Beowulf

Andy Serkis spoke with SCI FI Wire about the Robert Zemeckis film "Beowulf," and it's "motion capture technology," saying: "I think that more motion capture is [being] used in film, and it's becoming part of the mainstream and used in a mainstream way. It is . . . especially [true] with video games and the convergence of video games and film. It's actually a really interesting time for actors. Robert Zemeckis has just made Beowulf with Anthony Hopkins and John Malkovich, Ray Winstone and all kinds of high profile and serious actors creating these characters. They are creating the movements. They are creating the personalities, and it's the manifestation of those characters which is being handed over. I do believe that in five or 10 years' time that actors will come out of drama school, and they will do theater, and they'll do film, and they'll do TV, and then they'll be doing video games. I believe that it'll be considered a much, much more dramatic art. Playing characters in video games and [motion-capture] stories will be received through video games more than they are now. I mean, I've never ever drawn a distinction in the process of creating a character in a CG role and in a conventional role. For me there is no difference." "Beowulf" is based on the 12th-century Anglo-Saxon epic poem, and also stars Crispin Glover, Chris Coppola, Brendan Gleeson, Angelina Jolie, Dominic Keating, Sebastian Roché,  Robin Penn Wright and Alison Lohman, with a screenplay by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avery. The film will be released on November 17, 2007

The Time Traveler's Wife Rachel McAdams is in talks to star in the New Line film "The Time Traveler's Wife," based on the Audrey Niffenegger novel. It is the story of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was 6 and Henry was 36. The pair were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. How is that true?  Henry has been diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: his genetic clock resets without warning and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity in his life, past and future. Jeremy Leven penned the screenplay but no director or any other cast has been chosen.

Hellraiser Remake

Clive Barker wrote on his official Web site that The Weinstein Co.  will be remaking his 1987 horror film "Hellraiser," he has agreed to write it but he's not interested in directing it. He said:  "They're going to remake Hellraiser 1 with a lot more money, and they've invited me to write it - - the invitation came from Bob Weinstein - - which I am going to do, on the basis that if I don't do it, it will be done in some way that I probably won't like! It's only that one that I really, really, really care about in terms of its remake value - - and it'll be kind of fun to have the extra money to do the effects and all that cool stuff. So it puts me in the situation of writing both the beginning and the end of Pinhead at the same time - - 'In my end is my beginning.' I'm not in the middle, as it were. I'm leaving out his middle age. I'm just dealing with his beginning and his end. I'm excited about it - - actually it'll be kinda cool to revisit it once and see if there are things we can do to it which will make it significantly better. . . .  I wouldn't wish to direct - - I only want to write and be a part of the producing team. I wouldn't want to revisit something that I did as a director, something that I did all those years ago: That would be too, in a way, painful - - not painful, but weird, difficult, strange. . . .  I am very happy at the idea of having some more money for the cool stuff - - I don't know how much more money, but it's got to be more than the $900,000 that we had the first time!"
