‘Force of the Trojans’ Will Combine CG Effects with Ray Harryhausen-Style Stop-Motion
Posted on Friday, October 26th, 2018 by Ben Pearson
Influential visual effects artist Ray Harryhausen died in 2013, but his legacy lives on in a whole generation of filmmakers who he inspired with his jaw-dropping stop-motion effects. His work also lives on in the Harryhausen Foundation, which is responsible for protecting his collection of movie-related artifacts. Now the Foundation is teaming up with a company called Morningside Productions to produce a new Harryhausen-style adventure film in the vein of 1981’s Clash of the Titans that is tentatively titled Force of the Trojans.
The original movie is based on production art and sculptures conceived by Harryhausen himself, and it will “bring together stop-motion animation with the photo-real world of CGI, marking the first time that a monster battle will mix both techniques on screen in a major motion picture.” Learn more about the upcoming film below.
