'The Polar Express'

This is a Robert Zemeckis film, not out until NEXT November, 2004! There's been somewhat similar things like this before. But this one strikes me as what filming Ray Bradbury's short stories could be like using these wonderful dynamics.

It's been said that the 'mechanics' used here may well replace real actors in the future. But I say...they will continue to live side by side...the truly untrue, and the true.

This particular movie trailer of "The Polar Express"...brought immediately to mind what the scene of Cooger and Dark's traveling circus entering Green Town might have looked like, filmed THUSLY:

NOTE:
Once there, try the largest screen your computer can attempt. The Full Screen, even with cable or DSL, may take up to a couple minutes to download....

The trailer looks Superior... My Daughter wished the film came out this year!!

Is this based on the children's book?

Not my intention to start talking about another contemporary author, but...let it slide this time...especially since I started it...
