![]() He would say let's do this and that, which is great. Pete Berg thinks straight off the top of his head as different ideas would pop up. there weren't any storyboards for this film and it was all done as animatics. It wasn't a crazy amount of stuff but just a few choice sequences that had some cool moments visually. It's funny because when I first read the script it wasn't a visual effects gore-fest. Hahn recalls how they worked to bring Peter Berg's vision of an atypical hero story to life: "I remember from the very beginning you could tell it's not the typical, classic superhero film, where he's got a really nice outfit or he battles a true super-villain. Working under the designs of the legendary John Dykstra, Imageworks took on the bulk of the vfx creation for this film which looks at what happens when the good guy has a lot of "issues" to work through. How do you make a larger-than-life superhero come across as less than super on the big screen? It sounds easy unless you have the ever charming, international phenom Will Smith starring as the troubled "hero." And how do you make the biggest box office draw in the world look like the kind of hero no one wants to be saved by? That was the challenge for Digital Effects Supervisor Ken Hahn and Visual Effects Supervisor Carey Villegas of Sony Pictures Imageworks on director Peter Berg's new action-comedy. (vfx by Sony Pictures Imageworks), HANCOCK is available on Blu-ray Unrated Special Edition, 2-Disc Unrated Special Edition DVD, 1-Disc Unrated DVD, 1-Disc Theatrical Edition DVD and 1-Disc Unrated for PSP. Now on DVD/Blu-ray from Sony Pictures Home Ent. When Hancock grudgingly agrees to an extreme makeover from idealistic publicist Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman, JUNO), his life and reputation rise from the ashes and all seems right again - until he meets a woman (2003 Academy Award winner Charlize Theron, Best Actress, MONSTER) with similar powers to his and the key to his secret past. HANCOCK On DVD And Blu-rayĪcademy Award nominee Will Smith (Best Actor, THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS, 2006) stars in this action-packed comedy as Hancock, a sarcastic, hard-living and misunderstood superhero who has fallen out of favor with the public. ![]() Jeymes Samuel's 'The Book of Clarence' Lands September Release Date Space Chimps is a 3D action platformer based on the CG animated movie that tanked at the box office.HANCOCK, MEET DAVE and SPACE CHIMPS arrive on DVD/Blu-ray, plus THE KINGDOM and SUPERMAN: DOOMSDAY make their Blu-ray debut. The story by director Kirk De Micco and Rob Moreland imagines that an urgent space mission, far too dangerous for humans, is turned over to chimpanzees, as were the earliest U.S. ![]() The Space Agency recruits Ham III, grandson of the first chimp in space. Only Ham (voiced by Andy Samberg) is a circus performer, more interested in antic tricks and acrobatics than space exploration, much to the distress of his space companions, lovely Luna (Cheryl Hines) and the ship’s stiff commander Titan (Patrick Warburton). 'Space Chimps' is many things, but the one advantage it lacks is a sizable budget. Slipping through an intergalactic wormhole to retrieve a missing space probe, the crew falls into an alternative world of brightly colored creatures ruled by an authoritarian grump, Zartog (Jeff Daniels) - think Shrek without wit or wits - who dreams of creating a Vegas-like palace around a huge volcano. If youre a respectable production that wants to be taken seriously and cant even scrounge up the coin to license Yellos 1985 hit 'Oh Yeah,' instead electing to use a tinny sound-alike.that should be the first clue that something is seriously awry with the movie. This space odyssey sets the table for any number of amusing action sequences and odd creatures, like Kilowatt (Kristin Chenoweth), who looks like a tiny walking light bulb that illuminates whenever she gets frightened. With Andy Samberg, Cheryl Hines, Jeff Daniels, Patrick Warburton. ![]() The adventures are inventive enough but do lack the genuine sense of jeopardy and humor that made Fox’s “Ice Age” movies boxoffice champs. The chimp humor might go a tad overboard with a communication gizmo called a BananaBerry and Titan’s endless puns using the word “chimp.” Meanwhile, a few jokes aim very much over young heads straight for adult guardians. “Space Chimps” is a bright, entertaining package. It simply is too gimmicky and old school to go up against the best of Pixar and DreamWorks Animation. ![]()
