Heart of Darkness animated feature lands three lead voice actors
----------------------------------------------------------------
Joseph Conrad's 1899 novella famously served as the blueprint
for Francis Ford Copolla's 1979 Vietnam movie Apocalypse Now,
and now it's getting an animated adaptation all its own.
According to The Hollywood Reporter actors Michael Sheen
(Apostle, Masters of Sex), Matthew Rhys (The Americans) and
Andrew Scott (Spectre, Sherlock) have all signed on to lend
their voices to the project.
The story focuses on a character named Marlow, an idealistic
captain piloting a steamboat up the Congo river in search of a
man named Kurtz, who's gone mad and made himself into a
god-king to the natives living in the jungle. Scott will be
voicing the Russian sailor who goes by Harlequin, Rhys will be
Marlow's relative he meets along the journey, and Sheen will
voice the madman Kurtz. The role of Marlow is still being cast
at this time.
Director Gerald Conn is helming the project, and will be using
his unique animation technique that involves the use of sand.
Production is taking place across Wales, Ireland and Belgium,
and will be presented at the European Film Market in Berlin
next month. Conn will also produce the feature, from a script
by Mark Jenkins and Mary Kate O'Flanagan. In addition to
voicing Kurtz, Sheen will also executive produce.
