Re: el nuevo KING KONG
<blockquote>
Quote:<hr>To fans of fantasy cinema, special effects master Ray Harryhausen needs no introduction. 7th Voyage of Sinbad, 20 Million Miles to Earth, and Clash of the Titans are just a few of the films where Harryhausen employed his mastery of f/x, and stop-motion animation in particular, to thrill audiences everywhere.
Now the master is being celebrated in a new two-disc DVD called Ray Harryhausen: The Early Years, available from Sparkhill. The filmmaker recently chatted with Now Playing about the current state of moviemaking, including the pros and cons of CGI.
“CGI is a marvelous tool, but it’s been touted as the only means of expression, which I think is a load of hogwash,” says Harryhausen. “After all, the end [goal] is to entertain and you have to choose the right technique for the kind of story you’re telling, but if you forget that there is a story, all that you end up with is a series of special effects. It’s got to be comprehensible. They baffle [viewers] with special effects and loud noises, eight-frame cuts, zoom in and zoom out… that’s an old-fashioned technique, when you don’t have any quality or concept of the story, you have to doctor it up with all of these tricks that have been used since the Silent Age!”
Harryhausen often cites the original King Kong as his inspiration for getting into moviemaking in the first place. He therefore has a very personal interest in Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson’s upcoming remake of the 1933 film.
“I know Peter Jackson and I think he’ll do a good job,” he says. “There will always only be one King Kong, it was such a unique production. Dino De Laurentiis’s [1976] interpretation, he left all the fantasy out. He thought the only thing that made King Kong popular was the girl and the ape, and that’s not true. The original had so much fantasy and the whole thing hinges on fantasy. [But Jackson’s] in love with the subject as much as I am. He’ll do a good job.” <hr></blockquote>
