Italy, United Kingdom, United States | 2004 | Kerry Conran
The film that radically changed the way movies were made in Hollywood was itself a box office flop. This art deco action-adventure, in which giant flying robots attack 1939 New York City, was created entirely on blue screen, with its big-name stars (Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, Angelina Jolie) inserted later. The result is a retro-futuristic marvel that, at the time, looked like no other movie. (First time director Kerry Conran called it “Raiders of the Lost Ark filtered through Fritz Lang’s Metropolis.”) It also digitally resurrected the late Laurence Olivier. Cleveland Institute of Art alum Zack Petroc, who appears in person with Big Hero 6 on 11/6, was model supervisor on this groundbreaking fantasy—his entrée into the film industry.
35mm. 106 min.
