Atlantis:
The Lost Empire is Disneys first 70 mm film since
1985s The Black Cauldron.
|
|
According
to the writings of Philosopher Plato dating back to 360
B.C., "...in a single day and night of misfortune, the
island of Atlantis disappeared into the depths of the sea."
|
|
The filmmakers
turned to real-life linguistics expert Marc Okrand to create
an original readable, speakable language for the film. Using
a 29-letter alphabet, Okrand made up hundreds of Atlantean
words for the actors to speak.
|
|
|
To prepare
for the production, the filmmakers visited museums to study
World War I-era clothing and machinery and toured old army
installations to look at submarines and tanks. They also traveled
800 feet underground in New Mexicos Carlsbad Caverns
to observe the subterranean trails that would serve as the
model for the approach to Atlantis in the film.
|
|
When
it came to creating the look of the city of Atlantis, the
filmmakers wanted to avoid the common conception of "Greek
columns under the sea somewhere," says art director Dave
Goetz. Instead, they modeled their Atlantis on the architecture
of ancient civilizations in China, South America, and the
Middle East. |
