ImageMovers finds a new home.
Universal has closed a two-year first-look producing deal with Robert Zemeckis and his ImageMovers shingle. ImageMovers will stay in its current headquarters and will not be based on the Universal lot. There doesn't appear to be a specific movie that Zemeckis will make that triggered the deal; rather, studio brass just wanted to be in business with them. ...
I'll hazard a guess here: Universal wants to be in business with Mr. Zemeckis for his live-action movies, not his mo-cap ones.
Chris Meledandri and his Illumination Entertainment seem to be handling the animation part of U's movie equation.

a "good" Director?
Zemeckis has made the most unwatchable pieces of CRAP animation has ever seen.
His Mo-Cap pieces of garbage are shown to prisoners in Florida penetentaries. And they are claiming that his movies are "Cruel and Unusual"
And thats just being nice.

Read the entire article asshole, some whiny killer is complaining that they are forced to watch the same movies over and over - not just Bob Z's films but Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan as well. Jeezuz, some ppl...
So much love in this room...
Yeah he never directed a good film. Back to the Future, Forest Gump, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Romancing the Stone all crap!
roger rabbit is pure crap top to bottom. Back to the Future is fun. Forrest Gump is over rated.
Give me Used Cars or I Wanna Hold Your Hand any day.
I like many of Zemeckis's films.
Sue me.
Without exception... ALL of Robert Zemeckis Mo-capped "animated" movies are SHIT.
Read the first sentence of my post you shitbird at 4:18. I was referring to THOSE movies.
Beowulf and Monster House were OK. The Polar Express, A Christmas Carol, and Mars Needs Moms were awful.
I miss the 80's Zemeckis. Forrest wasnt all that bad. But his incurtion into the animated world, pardon me, mo-crapped world has to end. You can list "Monster House","A Christmas Carol" and "Polar Express" as cures for imsomnia!...rubbish I tell ya!
And yes, Steve, I will sue you!
just kiddin'
Rufus.
I know that I'm going to get crucified for saying this, but besides some outdated facial and body capture, what exactly is "rubbish" about Polar Express? Or, what sets it apart (on the bad factor) from Transformers or the latest Pirates? I kinda thought PE was enchanting, had nice music, and was told from an interesting perspective. At least I think it was more original than those gross-out, pop-culture-referencing talking animal cartoon movies coming out by the gazillions in the first half of the 2000s.
I'm glad Imagemovers is back in business.
Piss poor storytelling, lack of character of any kind, and it is UGLY.
It's certainly more watchable than roger rabbit.
Prepare for crucifiction.
OMG... Are you serious? Polar Express "Enchanting"??
Granted, Transformers and Pirates aren't Citizen Kane, but at least their actors faces MOVE. Polar Express looked like they just came out of a Botox clinic. The creepiest Uncanny Valley lifeless zombies ever put on film. Maybe if they periodically ate some brains on the way to go see Zombie Santa they'd have a movie that was believable.
Polar Express is some ungodly ugly crap. If you cant see that, you obviously work in studio management.
Most have taken to calling it Bi-Polar express. It's one of the better Zombie films for kids.
