So, ya wanna know whats coming up 6 months from now on the movie scene.
(Al Bundy style sigh and couch shift and hand implant....)
Just so happens that me and my ah....Hollywood insiders have allowed me to view a movie due out in 2005. You know, help them with development, plot flaws, etc.
Actually I got invited to a pre screening.
"Racing Stripes" is combining live shots with animal computer aided (Kind of like Babe) along with two flies that are full on animated. I dont know how Hollywood makes the animals mouths seem real but they do. WoW if you can find out if the animals are real or not, they must be sans the mouth....
Stripes is a baby zebra who gets accidently abandoned by the travelling circus. Farmer Joe comes along in the middle of the night and sees Stripes in the road. He takes Stripes home and lets him live with the other barn animals. Joes teenage daughter is stricken with Stripes. The farm is located right next to a horseracing track. Stripes longs to race. Of course the thouroughbreds diss him and tell him to get lost. One female horse, a jumper who is a blonde likes Stripes.
Of course you know how its going to end, they Hollywood it up as much as Jomal, Randy and dabods stretch the '92 Dream Team but still it has some surprise twists. The casting is excellent with one of the animated flies being voiced by David Spade. If you saw The Emporer Got His Groove On you know Spade can be a hoot on voices. He is on this one too.
Very clean. Should be a good show.
