‘The Tree Of Life’ Will Sate All Your Dinosaur Needs
In this age of constant self-promotion, director Terrence Malick has become a figure of intrigue and mystery by shutting up entirely. He's reclusive, secretive and endlessly fascinating. His next two projects, "The Tree Of Life" and "The Burial," are the center of speculation because no one knows anything about them other than they have stars and that they are set in Oklahoma. Oh, and that "Tree Of Life" has dinosaurs in it.
The dinosaur part had been long speculated, and now it has been confirmed, by visual effects supervisor Dan Glass. Here's what he, and another VFX worker, says:
"I can confirm that there are dinosaurs," Glass said. But how it will
fit in to the film remains to be seen as Malick kept that bit info to
himself. "Terrence Malick is notoriously secretive… I don't know much
about this movie. I don't really know how the work fits in," says Bryan
Hirota, another visual effects supervisor who joined the film in the
midst of its production.
Both those men, for revealing a plot point of a Terrence Malick movie, were then torn apart by velociraptors.
Also: We're not exactly sure they're not referring to Sean Penn.
See? Kinda looks reptilian.
