I actually think this can be a pretty solid film, with this one massive caveat. At the moment, I think that the plans call for a live-action film, and the current state of the MoCap is in its infancy, but it really needs someone of Silver' "largess" to wrangle the powers-that-be and address the problems inherent in the MoCap process (namely, the budgetary need to recreate a large portion of the cast as themselves instead of being able to redevelop and reimagine each character as something entirely different - look at Ray Winstone as Beowulf, you'd never know it was him... but Robin Wright-Penn, Hopkins, Malkovich... easy pickings).

Anyone have any thoughts on this or the potential of MoCap within the film industry? Will it every become a mainstream ideal (big budget, action-adventure, sci-fi, fantasy... drama and comedy need not apply as the process will most likely remain too expensive for these genres to every really use MoCap) or will it always be relegated to the odd production?
