New CGI-A-THON Titled THE DINOSAUR PROJECT Coming Soon
So… you say that you’re sick of the hand held documentary style of film making ala THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and CLOVERFIELD? Tough! I’ve got another one for ya….with dinosaurs! That’s right you filthy little Biditeosaurs, JURASSIC PARK meets BLAIR WITCH in the style of DISTRICT 9 is how StudioCanal is touting their new CGI project THE DINOSAUR PROJECT!..
Follow up:
Of course that’s a “working title”…I’m sure all it’s lacking is a fancy “3D” slapped on there…
DINOSAUR will mark the feature directorial debut of special FX specialists Sid Bennett and Tom Pridham. As for the story, Fangoria reports that, “The story follows a father-son expedition in the Congo being followed by a TV documentary crew. When both parties go missing, the crew’s footage is found—and it shows images of beasts thought to be extinct for 65 million years.”
Okay, so the story itself is about as original as a McDonald’s hamburger, but who cares if the effects are phenomenal and the film itself holds its own, right? Producer Nick Hill seems to be saying just that. In an interview with ScreenDaily, Hill said, “It’s not grainy, grainy hand-held, it will look beautiful and crisp and clear. It’s a real thrill ride. [The creatures will be] a mix of dinosaurs we know and love and some we’ve never seen before.”
With the casting process in full swing and shooting set to begin in May, THE DINOSAUR PROJECT could very well be “roaring” into theaters by years end.
