Featuring state-of-the-art special effects never seen before, "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" represents a trailblazing moment in cinematic history. With more than 2000 effects shots, this unprecedented feature uses live action filmed against blue screen and fills in every frame detail digitally, after the completion of principal photography.
More than six years in the making, this groundbreaking achievement in film is the brainchild of first-time writer/director Kerry Conran, in collaboration with producer Jon Avnet. As Conran says: “This film exists because of Jon Avnet’s maverick spirit, his belief in me and his love for this project.”
Although "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" has virtually no sets and no locations, Conran uses the latest in digital technology to immerse audiences in a breathtakingly detailed and lush, long-lost sci-fi world, where pulp fiction fantasies come to life.
Flying high above New York City, the film opens with the Hindenburg III, a behemoth airship, docking atop the Empire State Building, the world's tallest port-of-call. Storm clouds rumble as snow blankets the city and startling news fills the screen: Famous scientists around the world are mysteriously disappearing.
