All Hollywood has
been abuzz with rumors of a new technology which shows blood in 3D in
a much better way. “This is what we have been waiting for”,
said an anonymous studio executive, “what we have been begging
scientists for all these years”.
The technology,
created by a team at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais in
Brasil, is said to be able to solve problems in visualizing blood.
And not just any blood, blood in 3D in particular.
“Don't expect me
to be able to understand scientific mumbo jumbo”, said one
executive who was part of a studio bidding team, “I don't know and
I don't want to know. What I know is that the audience wants blood
and more of it”.
“For
years we have been waiting for computer animation to come up with
something better than Technicolor Blood #1 and #2, but they have let
us down”, said the executive. “Now we don't need to wait for
those four-eyed geeks any more, we have the blood we have always
wanted and they can go back to their workstations and rot for all we
care.”
Is a remake of Fantastic Voyage in 3D in development?
Rumors
of the new technology leaked out Monday via the various creative
agencies who reported a strong, new interest from the studios for
properties that can exploit the new technology. According to
Creative Artists, they are seeking all spec scripts with “blood”
in the title. “Bloody Monday, Bordello of Blood, Blood in Her
Eyes, Oceans of Blood, Tsunami of Blood.... all of these are possible, anything is
possible today. We are talking 6 and 7 figure deals as long as
people can act fast and write bloody”.
Global
Wahrman was able to reach lead author of the paper, Dr. Paula Rosas,
in Brasil and asked her what she thought about the excitement that
her paper had created. “We have no idea what these Yanqui
morons are talking about,” she said, “but if they want to give us
a bunch of US Dollars, we are happy to take them. These people seem
to be totally crazy!” she laughed.
