A few years ago the South Park guys, Trey Parker and Matt Stone unleashed ‘Team America: World Police’ onto the world and we loved it. Now the British are about to unleash their own puppet film, ‘Jackboots on Whitehall’. It is a World War II spectacular with the voice talents of Ewan McGregor, Timothy Spall, Dominic West, Rosamund Pike and Tom Wilkinson. The film is the brainchild of writer/directors Edward and Rory McHenry.
Here is their official synopsis:
From the McHenry Brothers comes a satirical version of World War II in which the Scottish defeat the German invasion of England. Chris (Ewan McGregor) dreams of the chance to join the army and fight in exciting new lands rather than be stuck in the slow paced village life he has grown up in. His chance comes when the three top Nazis hatch a plan to invade England by drilling under the English Channel and into the heart of London. With the entire British army stuck in Dunkirk and no military suppoter to defend the country, Churchill issues a final radio broadcast from his bunker in Downing Street – a cry for help. But can the nation unite in time to make one last stand against the Nazi forces? JACKBOOTS ON WHITEHALL boasts pioneering techniques in animation, fusing innovative puppeteering animatronics developed by Rory McHenry and VFX by MFX London.
This looks awesome and I can’t wait to see it.
