MJ Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 According to 'Thorsten', who posted 8 development sketches by Milton Knight at Animation HQ, Day Of the Dead was being developed as a feature by Warner Bros Feature Animation in 1995 but never got the greenlight. Though I cannot confirm this, it turns out that this project is now an animated short film nearing completion after a year delay: DMfx commented in August 2001 that Day Of the Dead would be done via CGI, and follow the humorous day-to-day adventures of dead souls as they struggle to get through the Afterlife. You can keep an eye on the movie's progression via its official site. So how's that for weird news, eh? I can tell you this now, it would kind of stuff up any originality in the Tierra story if it did come out! But it's caught me by surprise, it's the first I've heard of it.

LiMP RABBiT Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Wierd. But, remember Tierra was originally a spoof sort of thing of Grimfandango, and it was never really that linked. Anyhoo, we all know that this was first version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallus Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Actually, the film's called "Day Off the Dead". Looks to have a different premise altogether . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Eggplant Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 since lucasarts did not invent mexican folklore or aztec, mayan, art deco, or film noir; and since you were parodying the game we all love to play, I don't think it matters. I think calaveras are cool; and can't wait to see this flick. I will download the trailers later tonight when I also listen to part 9 of Lost Cause. On the contrary i thank you for posting news of this film as I had no idea such a project was even under production. I think it's cool that someone is making such a film, because it will give all those fundamentalist right wing christian groups something new and 'satanic' to point their pointy heads at.

LiMP RABBiT Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 And there can be no doubt that Tierra will be much better than this production of pure, unspeakable evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiMP RABBiT Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 8, Im having some trouble getting onto your site. It keeps showing this dodgy "forbidden" page. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanspoof Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 I've heard of this film and saw the trailer on the Animation Master website - http://www.hash.com - and I thought it looked wierd. I knew about this beacuse even though I am only 11 ( :D ) I have a real animation software (Animation Master) that cost me £200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
