And Now Bryan Singer Announces He Will Shoot With The RED EPIC for JACK THE GIANT KILLER!!
As my friend Mark (an avid RedUser reader) said to me - "Someday an EPIC may shoot a 2D movie!" LOL!!
Very true. But for now, yet another high profile director and project is turning to the RED EPIC.
Director Bryan Singer said this personally on the RedUser Forums:
"I'm very much looking forward to using the EPIC Red for my next movie "Jack the Giant Killer" which will be shot in, what else, 3D. The camera's incredibly compact size and extraordinary resolution are ideal for the 3D format. But more importantly "Jack the Giant Killer" is my first movie set in a time before electricity. The EPIC's extraordinary exposure latitude will allow me to more effectively explore the use of natural light."
Really looking forward to this project too! Singer has been developing it for awhile. The storyline will probably be close to this: The wizard Pendragon kidnaps Princess Elaine to expand his reach and power. Jack, travels to find and rescue her from the giant that Pendragon had kidnap her - and succeeds in killing it. Seeing the strength in Jack, the King asks him to protect her on a journey, but someone she is taken once again. In the end, Pendragon himself transforms into a giant to have at Jack.
Should be a blast. Congratulations to the RED team! More when I get it!!
