A New Monty Python Movie

FROM IGN MOVIES:

A Monty Python reunion film is brewing, and not just that but it'll star member Graham Chapman -- who's been dead since 1989. 

The New York Times reports that a 3D animated film of Chapman's "absurdist" memoir A Liar's Autobiography: Volume VI is in the works, with most of the other Python members "performing roles that are cut together with Chapman's voice from a taped reading made shortly before he died." 

The new film has 15 different animation companies working on chapters that will run between three and 12 minutes long, each in a different style of cartooning. Eric Idle is the only Python member who hasn't signed on for the film (yet). 

The picture will get a theatrical release in the U.K. next year and will debut on TV and online here in the U.S. courtesy of Epix (who?).

and you thought you were a perfectionist...

In a recent article, cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki was asked: Does Malick think about editing when he’s filming ?

"We speak about it almost every time. But most of the ideas about the editing we share on the set don’t make the final cut. We maybe have been shot 600.000 metres (around 370 miles) of film. The first cut was 8 hours long. Terry is working on/preparing a 6 hours long version of the movie. What I’ve seen (of this) is absolutely incredible, it’s wonderful. The longer version will have to/will likely, for the most part, relate to the children part. There were outstanding things, we’ve shot many, many things about Jack’s childhood: his friends, his evolution, his changes, his awareness of the loss of his childhood. I don’t know if I’m supposed to say all of this!" -Emmanuel Lubezki

Gansta Kids

Bloodiest live action/cartoon/music video ever? You betcha.
Check out this vid for the band Is Tropical called "The Greeks."

All you need is a $300 camera and some editing software...

Filmmaker Vitùc used a GoPro HD (720p) to shoot this short, which he cut on Final Cut Pro and graded with Magic Bullet Looks.
