I do NOT like his movie choices 100% If only Zemeckis could write an original script, he can make it as imaginative and mind-blowing as he wanted, making it perfect for performance capture. Yellow Submarine and Nutcracker, on the other hand, are very poor stories to develop this technology. First, Yellow Submarine was a 2D animated cartoon, and has no business being in realistic CGI. Nutcracker, whose main character is a RAT and a wooden figurine CAN'T be humanly expressive because a rat and a wooden figurine are not humans! ........... Oh well, maybe Airman will be good.

I'm all for new ways of telling stories. But I won't deny that I do feel the stories Zemeckis is choosing to tell, I don't find much interest in. i'd rather the man go and tell original stories then continue to adapt. If this is the format he wants to use then that's fine. The tec will get better. But I didn't need another version of a Christmas Carol, and I don't know how exciting a new Nutcracker would be.
