The offical site for ILM’s first animated feature Rango (directed by Pirates of the Carribean Gore Verbinski and starring Johnny Depp) has been updated with a slew of tasty new eye candy including hi res images from the film, screensavers, cast and characters introduction, and more. Below are some of the highlights :
Rango will be released on the 4th of March ( 10th in Singapore ), which is just a little more than a month away. All of us at ILM are really stoked to see the completed film on the big screen, finally !
In the mean time, head on down to the official site at rangomovie.com.

Fantastic designs, and what is that? A snake with ammo belts and a nicely designed leather cowboy hat?
Doubly sold.

The pictures looks awesome, the rendering is at such perfection level.
~Mainly this one, the skin looks so real

Mr. Yonghow, how much time did it take so far?
Great work from ILM staff!

This will be the best CG animated film besides LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS & WALL-E (both visionary art masterworks)…

This movie’s art direction is spectacular. It’s photo realistic yet it manages to have such a unique look. And it also seems to have a lot of dark humor (first pic…), not something that’s very common in CG animation.

Otto – Love the design for the rattlesnake as well, very badass indeed.
Rafael – Thanks ! Perhaps I can share a little more when the film is released. :]
FAUNA – I think it’d be quite a visual treat, do catch it on the big screen !
Hina – I would describe the look as “stylized photorealism”. Humor is a little different from the usual animated feature too, like you mentioned. :]
