‘We Did Not Make ‘Animal Farm’ for Any Algorithm’: Director Andy Serkis on Animating Orwell
Andy Serkis emphasizes artistic integrity in adapting Orwell's 'Animal Farm,' focusing on storytelling over catering to algorithms or trends.
The film features a star-studded cast led by Seth Rogen (voicing a rowdy/eerie version of Napoleon), Gaten Matarazzo (Lucky), Woody Harrelson (Boxer) and Laverne Cox (Snowball), along with talents such as Iman Vellani, Kieran Culkin, Glenn Close and Serkis himself. Back for the second year at an event that he, according to artistic director Marcel Jean, “immediately fell in love with,” Serkis spoke with Variety about the film, decades in the making. We spoke to Seth Rogen about 12 years ago, when it was still going to be a performance-capture live-action film, same for Jim Parsons and Glenn Close as well, and they remained loyal to the project even though it took such a long time to complete.
