If you only know Andy Serkis as the voice of Gollum from The Lord of the Rings you're really missing out. The guy can flat out act and he's also a pretty talented director in his own right, shouldering a big amount of the second unit on the upcoming Hobbit films. Apparently others agree as well.
According to "The Hollywood Reporter" Serkis and London based movie studio Imaginarium will link up to produce a motion capture version of George Orwell's beloved novel "Animal Farm." This is awesome. Not only do I feel that "Animal Farm" hasn't ever gotten a memorable treatment through a different medium, but it's also high time for Serkis to get his just due. The man is more than a creature corrupted by the One Ring people!
Serkis sure has a lot on his plate these days. Aside from "Animal Farm" he's got post-production for The Hobbit, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes to star in, a sequel to The Adventures of Tin Tin to work on, and another directorial project called The Bone Season. Don't worry that last one is actually a science fiction/crime thriller not Jenna Jameson's biopic.
