Absolutely, totally jazzed. Can’t we write about our heroes with a sense of humor?

"Sounds like Malick's ponderous and navel gazing tendencies will finally get their own movie."

Oh, come on, you know you're jazzed. A teeny weeny bit?

Here’s the full interview with VFX artist Mike Fink:
“We’re just starting work on a project for Terrence Malick, which is actually 3 films. There’s going to be a 35mm release, a shorter IMAX version, and then they’re talking about another shorter 35mm version which isn’t quite the Imax version but not the feature length one either. We’re animating dinosaurs, but it’s not Jurassic Park. The attempt is to treat it as if somehow a camera wound up in the middle of these periods when dinosaurs roamed the earth and creatures first started to emerge from the sea onto the land. The first mammals appearing. We’re doing a number of creatures all seriously scientifically based. I think when it’s finished it’ll be something that’s referred to for years.”

Gotta love AICN. "Guess what everyone? Douglas Trumball is somehow involved in the SFX of Tree of Life!"
