1906

One of my directors of choice, Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Ratatouille), is going to be directing the first live action film for Pixar (and Warner Brothers) based on the horrific earthquake that took place in San Francisco in 1906. The city was completely destroyed by this accident. Brad Bird has an uncanny ability to engage people in a story, so I am very interested to see how this film will turn out. Pixar is known for making great films, so the fact that they are making their first live action movie is very exciting.

Here is a link giving some interesting information about the 1906 earthquake.

Also, take a second to click on the photograph at the top of this page, and you will be able to zoom into the picture. Take a second to look up close at the cataclysmic destruction of this beautiful city. It is dumbfounding.
