Den dubbelt oscarsbelönade regissören Brad Bird (Incredibles, Ratatouille) pratade med The Hollywood Reporter om sin kommande film 1906. Det blir Brads första live-action film och kommer att handla om jordbävningen i San Francisco 1906.
?At the time, Chinatown was coexisting with the Barbary Coast, which was like the Wild Wild West, and at the same time Nob Hill had the upper class. It was a time between two centuries. You had horses and cars existing simultaneously. It?s just a volatile mix of things and then you throw in an earthquake. I mean, come on, if that doesn?t buy popcorn ????
Enligt detta YouTube-klipp så gör Brad filmen med Pixar och då kommer de antagligen att stå för allt som skapas i datorn. Det blir spännande att se va Pixar kan göra när det kommer till realism och hur Brad sköter regin bakom en riktig kamera.

Every disaster has a backstory, none more thrilling than this one. Set during the great San Francisco earthquake and fire, this page-turning tale of political corruption, vendettas, romance, rescue?and murder?is based on recently uncovered facts that forever change our understanding of what really happened. Told by a feisty young reporter, Annalisa Passarelli, the novel paints a vivid picture of the Victorian-era city, from the mansions of Nob Hill to the underbelly of the Barbary Coast to the arrival of tenor Enrico Caruso and the Metropolitan Opera. Central to the story is the ongoing battle?fought even as the city burns?that pits incompetent and unscrupulous politicians against a coalition of honest police officers, newspaper editors, citizens, and a lone federal prosecutor.
