Jon Favreau is still hard at work on "Iron Man," but the director told MTV News that he's already keen on starting his next project, an animated film called "Neanderthals."
"We've been discussing this for almost four years now and it's finally coming to fruition. It's written and ready to go," he enthused of the motion capture film. "[I'm hoping] we could do the mo-cap before the potential actors strike [June 2008]. I would then theoretically work on the animated part of it over the next couple of years."
Favreau insists that "Neanderthals" will be something else entirely – different from even other motion capture animated films like "Beowulf" or "Polar Express."
"Mo-cap is a misleading term because the animation won't resemble the animation of 'Polar Express' or 'Monster House.' That was very lifelike," he asserted. "This will be comedic and stylized. The animation will appear more like a traditional animated film. The mo-cap will be used simply as a basis for animation and to allow the performers to all be in one space together. Hopefully, it will inherit some of their spontaneity."
