Below the Line: It may be a two-fer year for Joe Letteri: his work on the summer reboot of Fox’s Planet of the Apes franchise has generated considerable buzz about how poignant digits can be in the form of Andy Serkis’ mo-capped performance as Caesar – the chimp leader of the ape uprising against mankind.
But Letteri is also one of Weta’s credited supervisors for the upcoming Steven Spielberg-directed The Adventures of Tintin, which itself is generating considerable buzz (after already opening outside the U.S., and due to run as a Yuletide offering on these shores). The latter film is entirely mo-capped, a la Polar Express, though represents – according to those who have seen it – another “great leap forward” in the technology’s use.
