There was a time when Gore Verbinski ("Pirates of the Caribbean") thought he might be able to make another film while his first animated feature "Rango" was in preproduction – but that, he admits today, seems outright fantastical. In the screening room of his Blind Wink productions at Universal Studios, Hollywood, Verbinski claims newfound respect for the work that goes into animated films. “It’s very much like we’re shooting a movie… We’re very much in production,” he says.
Sitting here seven days a week, Verbinski and his team fastidiously review and tweak daily transmissions of work from Industrial Light and Magic, with trips north to Ilm studios in San Francisco every other week. In spite of what Verbinski may once have thought, directing "Rango" has definitely become a full time job.
"Rango" is “the story of a chameleon with an identity crisis, played by Johnny Depp. And that’s it.
