Of course, as soon as Jack starts raving about flying and millennial monks, he’s dispatched to a mental institution. There he is quite happy to experiment with wing designs, determined to fly. But Jack isn’t left alone to pursue his quest for flight, and soon he’s crashing from cliffs, racing through burning buildings, plummeting from sky-scrapers and encountering deep passion.
Featuring early work from Weta Workshop, this is a rollicking adventure film that mixes fantasy, reality, whimsy and romance.
A monk spending eternity in hell? Is there a movie that explains how that happened?
ReplyDeleteLove the Weta workshop.
Some guy named Peter Jackson co-wrote this, huh?
ReplyDeleteI decided that if I learned from all my writing mistakes (not even the rest of my life mistakes, only writing), I'd be a genius by now. Alas, I'm not. So I guess I don't.
Sounds like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a collection of quirky ideas! Sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteHa, that sounds funny! I almost can't believe Peter Jackson was involved.
