Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...
This just leapfrogged waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up to the top of my list of films I want to see. Robert Zemeckis, no matter what, remains one of the foremost craftsmen of his generation. Like Cameron, he’s one of those guys who loves to butt heads with the state of the art, just to see what he can pull off. Looks like he’s done it again here, and based on the little bits and pieces I’ve heard about how this was “shot,” I’m dying to see the whole film. All I know right now is that CGI Tom Hanks is one of the freakiest things I’ve seen in a long time, and it fascinates me.
It really does look like the book brought to life. Van Allsburg fans have got to be intrigued when they see this. It’s certain more respectful than Universal’s SHITTY KITTY... er, I mean CAT IN THE HAT seems to be to its source material.
