Of course, my brother Billy has a copy of it in school or so, but I came across this outstanding 1939 novel by John Steinback titled The Grapes of Wrath, which follows one family's struggle during the Great Depression. In it, Tom Joad returns to his Oklahoma farm from a stint in prison to find his family packing up and preparing to make the long journey to California, in search of work. And they're representatives of the thousands upon thousands of people who made the very difficult trek, having been forced from their smallholdings by evil moneymen.
It summed up its era in the way that Uncle Tom's Cabin summed up the years of slavery before the Civil War. There's even a 1940 film classic made by John Ford and starring Henry Fonda as Tom Joad himself. One day, during and/or after the making of my Dexter's Odyssey project or so, I'll make another film adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath that will combine digitally enhanced live action photography, visual effects wizardry and advances in digital computer generated animation and motion capture technology to tell the story or so in not only a documentary-style kind of way but also as what will be one of the best adult CGI movies or so since Robert Zemeckis' Beowulf. From start to finish or so, my adaptation of the Grapes of Wrath or so will be a more faithful one of John Steinback's novel than the 1940 John Ford/Henry Fonda/Twentieth Century Fox classic was and I'll give the story its proper respect by staying true and faithful to the tone of the original material or so.
My film adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath or so will combine a world fabricated from live action backgrounds, special effects wizardry and advances in motion capture and computer animation technology (similar to but more advanced than that used to bring Gollum from the Lord of the Rings, the giant gorilla in Peter Jackson's King Kong, the title character for the first hour of the Curious Case of Benjamin Button and characters in James Cameron's upcoming Avatar or so to life) so that animators will use actors or so to capture movements and even facial expressions, etc., and transform them into all-digital counterparts or so like the Joad Family or so. If revolutionary for its blend of computer generated performers and a Depression-Era world fabricated from live action backgrounds or so, my film adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath will blur the lines between animation and nonanimated films, reality and the magic of cinema or so, just like Dexter's Odyssey or so.
