Cloverfield and LOST producer J.J. Abrams and I'll be working on a movie that would revolutionize movies and special visual effects and will release it on November 16, 2012. It is called...
DINOSAURS: AN EPIC PREHISTORIC TALE (2012)!!!
And Although the Dinosaurs will talk, and although many of the species of animals depicted in my movie do not exist at the same time and place, It's gotta be the biggest, greatest, coolest, most awesome, most spectacular, most ambitious, most groundbreaking, most totally epic, and most ultimate dinosaur movie since Jurassic Park (1993)!
It will be shot and exhibited completely on Digital HD Video and in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 but with plates shot in the brand new VistaVision Digital format to make the dinosaurs more grander and give them more height. (The VistaVision plates will be blown up to fit the 2.35:1 ratio.) It will be have a total budgetary production cost of $330 million. It will have a theatrical running time of 3 hours and 20 minutes (that is 200 minutes). And It will be an animated feature or so that will blend CGI and Animatronic Dinosaur characters and Innovative and Groundbreaking VFX wizardry (including Weta Digital's MASSIVE software to create AI-Driven Dinosaur agents) with a Blend of Digitally Enhanced Live Action Photography, Miniature model sets (including what Weta Workshop called "bigatures) and digital CG environments and digital matte paintings, to groundbreaking effect.
It will be about 11 dinosaurs (which are Adam, David and Eve the Iguanodons, Tearak the Troodon, Adam's best friend, Kirk the Triceratops, Samson The Stegosaurus, Maia the Maiasaura, Courtney the Corythosaurus, Frank the Lambeosaurus, George the Parasaurolophus and Anthony the Brachiosaurus) traveling through unknown and uncharted Prehistoric Lands, 65 million years ago, to find a legendary land far, far away called the Valley of the Sun. Along the way, They encountered a variety of dinosaurs and overcome obstacles and predators such as The chief villains, Three Tyrannosaurus Rex brothers named Akiro, Khan and Lucifer, their friends, Durok and Kala the Utahraptors and their army of 300 Raptors, and among others, a ruthless and massive Spinosaurus named Crocjaw.
It will be directed by Me and Cloverfield and LOST producer J.J. Abrams and I will produce it and it'll be released on 5,298 D-Cinema, Digital 3D (Real D) and IMAX 3D theatre screens on November 16, 2012. It will have a gigantically massive publicity, promotional, advertising and marketing campaign. It will have bigger marketing and an even wider theatrical release than any other movie on Dinosaurs. It will have a theatrical run that will last 338 days from November 16, 2012 to October 20, 2013.
After that, It will be released on DVD and Blu Ray Disc or HD DVD from Tim Box Home Entertainment on October 22, 2013. It will arrive in a 12-disc jam-packed, super uber, ultra-deluxe, ultimate collector's edition box set for each format. Discs One, Two, and Three will feature a 330 minute unrated Final Cut of Dinosaurs: An Epic Prehistoric Tale (titled Dinosaurs UNRATED: The Final Cut) with 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen direct to digital transfer, two Dolby Digital EX 5.1 and DTS ES 6.1 Enhanced Home Theater Mixes, commentaries and more.
Discs Four and Five will feature the 200-minute theatrical cut with 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen direct to digital transfer, two Dolby Digital EX 5.1 and DTS ES 6.1 enhanced home theater mixes, commentaries and more, while Discs Six, Seven and Eight will feature a 398-minute documentary called 65 Million Years BC: The Making of Dinosaurs: An Epic Prehistoric Tale. (split into three discs just like the unrated cut of Dinosaurs.) and Lastly, Discs Nine, Ten, Eleven and Twelve will feature tons and tons and tons and tons of bonus features.
The packaging will be awesome with 6 digipak trays containing the 12 discs for the box set.
Dinosaurs: An Epic Prehistoric Tale will be mixed in Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS ES, and SDDS 8-Channel Sound at Skywalker Sound and Park Road Post. Skywalker Sound and Park Road Post and Sound Designers Randy Thom, Christopher Boyes, Ethan Van Der Ryn, David Farmer, Tom Myers and Star Wars Prequels sound editor Matthew Wood, and Will Files, in creating the most believable dinosaur vocalizations ever heard in a movie since Jurassic Park (1993), will employ the same technique that Sound Designer Gary Rydstrom had employed for Jurassic Park 15 years ago--to start with nature by recording a whole lotta living animals and piece them together in interesting ways...totally interesting ways, indeed.
The original music score for my dinosaur movie will be by Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard, Mark Mancina and/or James Horner, and it will sound like the music of The Lion King (1994) and those of Disney's Dinosaur (2000), Disney's Tarzan (1999), Disney's Mighty Joe Young (1998), Waterworld (1995), The Power of One (1992) (with its african-style music), The Jurassic Park Movies (1993-2001), and Jerry Goldsmith's music for Congo (1995). The Soundtrack Album will be the complete music score and will be called Dinosaurs: An Epic Prehistoric Tale: The Complete Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
The Characters, Creatures, Miniatures, Visual Effects and Animation will be by Industrial Light and Magic, Weta Workshop, Weta Digital, Tatopoulos Studios, Kerner Optical, Ninth Ray Studios, Tippett Studio, and The Orphanage. And among the VFX and Animation supervisors for my Dinosaur Movie will be John Knoll, Scott Fararr, Rob Coleman, Joe Letteri, Richard Taylor, Christain Rivers, Eric Leighton, Ralph Zondag (both of which directed Disney's Dinosaur (2000)), Patrick Tatopoulos, Michael Lantieri, Phil Tippett, Randy Dutra, Randall Cook, Genndy Tartakovsky (of Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack fame) and his Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack production team.
Artists such as Mark Hallett, Ricardo Delgado, David Krentz, Todd Marshall, William Stout, Gregory S. Paul, Luis V. Rey, Doug Henderson, and many, many, many others, and the designers at Weta Workshop, Tatopoulos Studios, Kerner Optical, Ninth Ray Studios, etc., will provide hundreds and hundreds and thousands and thousands of conceptual artwork and scluptures for my movie.
I wanted to create a movie in which no humans appeared, only modern, scientifically-accurate yet talking dinosaurs animated with hi tech computers and hi tech animatronic robotics. (the Dinosaurs will have to talk just like the lip syncing talking animals in Babe (1995) and in Stuart Little (1999)) Pre Production will begin on February 2009, although the script will be done first, Production will begin on June 2010 and will end in March 2012. and Post Production will begin on March 2012. So Developing and making Dinosaurs: An Epic Prehistoric Tale will be an totally epic, three-year journey or vacation.
It will be a film partially inspired by Land Before Time (1988), Jurassic Park (1993), Disney's Dinosaur, Lord of the Rings, etc. And it will be totally awesome, guys. This is gonna be the biggest, greatest, and most expensive movie ever made. On November 2012, See the next biggest, greatest, coolest, most awesome, most spectacular, most ambitious, most groundbreaking, most totally epic, and most ultimate dinosaur movie since Jurassic Park...Dinosaurs: An Epic Prehistoric Tale (2012)!!!!
