Warsaw Rising, sci-fi style?

15.07.2009

Hardkor 44 is the name of the new movie project by 2003 Oscar nominee Tomasz Bagiński, which mixes historical fact with computer generated scenery.

 

The movie is based on the real life story of the Warsaw Rising in 1944 but told in science fiction style.

 

The movie, to be co-produced by the Warsaw Rising Museum, will feature live actors in a digitally generated surrounding world. According to Bagiński, it will represent a new approach to story telling.

 

Hardkor 44 should be in movie theatres in 2012.
