Tom Felton quizzed Andy Serkis about performance capture
Harry Potter bad boy Tom Felton has revealed how he quizzed Andy Serkis about performance capture for his upcoming film Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
Speaking to Total Film, the versatile young actor said “I bored Andy for hours about how he got into it and how he came to be the godfather of it all, he talked me through a lot of it, and it’s something I’d like to look into.
There’s so many scripts that you could have read 20 years ago and you’d have said ‘You can’t physically make that’ but now it’s an option - you can do things that weren’t really achievable.
In this film you’re going to see such advances in the CGI that you’re going to look back at the old apes costumes and really think ‘that’s history’.”
Directed by Rupert Wyatt, Rise of the Planet of the Apes comes to cinemas on August 12 and stars felon as Dodge alongside James Franco, John Lithgow, Brian Cox, Freida Pinto and Stargate: Atlantis alum David Hewlett.
