NP A Scanner Darkly animated film alert

Hey folks, Harry here... When I saw that image from
Premiere Magazine show up online, I was sort of let
down. Not by the image, but that the first image was a
pixel-y low res shot - when I knew good and well that
the artists working here in Austin on Linklater's
production of Phillip K Dick's A SCANNER DARKLY...
well, it just wasn't going to do the film any justice.
So I contacted Linklater and the producer of the film,
Tommy Pallotta and asked if we could have a higher
resolution image of the Premiere image. Instead, they
wanted to give me 3!
These 3 images are grabs from the trailer which looks
like WARNER INDEPENDENT is attaching to WB's
CONSTANTINE in February! More reason to see that film,
eh? Like you needed any.
Anyway, just got off the horn with Tommy and as is
revealed from the images... he told me that they're
going for a far more realistic look for the animation,
than they did on A WAKING LIFE. The reason is obvious.
On that film, the movie was episodic and lent itself
to a variety of freeform styles that the artists had a
freedom to explore. Here, he says there's far more
thought and effort going into designing the scenes and
frankly, they're designing much of the film in
animation. Also, most of the animators for this
project are coming out of the world of illustration
and are graphic novel artists - so what we'll
eventually get when it is done will be the closest
thing we're likely to get to a living graphic novel
telling of A SCANNER DARKLY... and that... that's way
cool.

enjoy [...]
