The actor Andy Serkis, who became known for playing the primate protagonist of «Origin of the Planet of the Apes"And Gollum of" The Lord of the Rings "through motion capture technique, will make his directing debut with a new adaptation of" Farm Rebellion "by George Orwell.
Serkis will use the motion capture for his debut feature and will be produced by The Imaginarium, a studio that Andy Serkis himself and producer Jonathan Cavendish created in 2011.
“I think we've found a pretty cool way of looking at things. We will definitely use motion capture, but we will try to use an amalgam of shooting styles to create the environments. We are in a testing phase of the design and the characters. We do not rule out anything ... Animation, animals, everything is in an experimental phase and it is terribly exciting ", Serkis comments on «Animal Farm«.
This new adaptation of «Rebelion on the farm»It probably won't hit commercial screens until 2015 and Andy Serkis could have one of the leading roles, as long as he is capable of directing and acting, as he himself has claimed.
Andy Serkis had not directed to date, although he was in charge of the second unit of «The Hobbit»And now he is making the leap to directing with a project that seems most interesting.
