Probably just a glitch. And they might be starting filming now, we just don't get notified of it since it could be a closed set or whatever. But i forgot where I found it, but there was another article a few weeks ago and somewhere in the bottom it said that filming was to start on the 30th?

I wish I had an ounce of artistic talent. That's an impressive picture, especially using only spray cans. I'd pay the guy to paint it on a wall in my house. But the eyes would need to be her pale blue
, I'm guessing the artist chose green to honor Ireland. -

A different angle, with the freckles a bit more highlighted:

The guy painted the magazine cover photo. A bit disappointed it wasn't spontaneous. -

I saw this article posted on

:

In the article, they state "The project will likely be finished in October and is slated for release sometime next Spring." They also state "Though the film has not yet secured a distributor, its already harnessed in big names such as Saoirse Ronan and Jerome Flynn to voice characters."
I feel they misstated that as to my knowledge, she's not just voicing the characters, but she's acting out the scenes and then the scenes are being drawn by artists as thousands of real paintings. That got me thinking since this is the first time a movie has been made this way, do you think this type of movie could still garner acting nominations?
I'd like to think the Academy and other awards organizations would consider the performances behind the paintings, even though the performances have been translated to paint.
Edit: Probably just wishful thinking on my part. Still, I'm interested to hear what others think.
