Coming Attractions: Giant Screen Films' T. Rex

Image
Yes, that's Mark Witton's art I'M NOT DEAD YET! Anyway, here's an update on an upcoming palaeo-work, its trailer uploded earlier this month. T. Rex is an upcoming documentary released by Giant Screen Pictures and directed by David Clark about what is pretty much the default dinosaur and its biology, following both the lives of one and a palaeontological dig from last year. Funnily rnough, this is the second T. rex-centric doc he's made: the Waking the T. Rex: The Story of Sue  from 2010 was the first.

Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia review

Also, I thought from how the trailer was edited the humans were gonna interact with the dinosaurs by travelling back in time to study the dinosaurs, Nigel Marven-style. That would have been amazing... Anyway, this creation of Quebecois creative Marc Fafard documents the Cenomanian dinosaurs of South America...
