Oscar Award-winning visual effects artist Phil Tippett (Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Starship Troopers) unleashed his decades-in-the-making stop-motion epic Mad God back in 2022, and Variety brings us the exciting news today that Tippett is brewing up another feature!
The website brings us a first look at Phil Tippett’s Sentinel, a brand new stop-motion animated feature film that will be pitched to potential partners in Cannes later this month.
Tippett explains to the site that he’s currently working on the script for Sentinel, which will be a mixture of “the whole history of VFX, from stop-motion to digital and now AI.”
“I can mix and match all these techniques,” he tells Variety.
From the plot details the website shared, we gather that Sentinel will begin “like a [traditional] World War One film.” From there, Variety writes in their own words, “the film’s main narrative expands wildly in the moments before a soldier’s death.”
Tippett explains, “I’ll still be writing while I’m making the thing, but it’s in a very good place right now. Like a lot of artists, I don’t want to show it off because I don’t think it’s finished, but there comes a time when you need to have it taken out of your hands in order to move ahead.”
