Andy Serkis
While waiting for United 93 to start, they showed a still from King Kong.
That got me to wondering what Andy Serkis was up to these days. He was the motion capture actor for Golum in LOTR, he also played Kong (as well as the ships cook Lump).
Turns out that Andy is busy!
He is doing a character voice on the animation: "
Flushed Away", doing a television drama: "
Longford", a biography of Eadweard Muybridge called "
Freezing Time" (Muybridge invented motion pictures and is a fascinating character), an action/adventure based on the Alex Rider novels by Anthony Horowitz: "
Stormbreaker" and finally, this film which I cannot wait to see: "
The Prestige"
From the entry for The Prestige:
Bale and Jackman will play rival magicians in turn-of-the-century London who battle each other for trade secrets. The rivalry is so intense that it turns them into murderers.
They have David Bowie playing Nicolas Tesla. It's in post so it should come out relatively soon (this year)
Cool!
