Serkis Back in Motion Capture Suit for Jackson

Posted by Dr. Cole Abaius (cole.abaius@filmschoolrejects.com) on December 19, 2007

Andy Serkis will get another chance to strap on motion detectors and have Peter Jackson tell him what to do. According to Hollywood Reporter, the actor who showed his physical range as Golem and King Kong will be suiting up for a role in the forthcoming film adaptations of the popular Tin Tin novels. Tin Tin will be a trilogy produced by Dreamworks. Hollywood Reporter also speculates that Serkis will be playing the role of Capt. Haddock, though Dreamworks would not confirm it. Serkis has been busy playing in everything from 13 Going on 30 to The Prestige, changing his look each time and seems to adapt to his roles seamlessly.

Jackson and Steven Spielberg will each direct a film with a third director still to be announced.

As impressive as Serkis was in LotR, I think his performance in Heavenly Sword was just jaw-dropping. It certainly raised my expectations for future video games.
