Finally I'm getting the opportunity to do it right this time. The term 'family freindly' should not be missunderstood. Please understand that this vision of the movie will be DARK, and edgy with a sweeping scope reminescent of Lord of the Rings. NOT CAMPY."
One of the main things we wanted to know about was the FX, which he explains "
will be over-the-top and outrageous." And in response to come of the blogs he's read he writes, "
Many are conscerned that the effects will be the thin CGI/video game style. This will not be the case," he explains, "
While we will emply the latest in CGI, we will also utilize a great many live-action effects."
