It's supposed to be a new system where you just put together the movie and then stick the actors in where they are needed. I've seen a trailer for it, and personally I think it just looks like game cutscreens with known actors.

Just heard something on Glenn Beck this morning. Apparently, this guy was creating the movie one frame at a time at his own home in Michigan before some Hollywood producer saw it and bankrolled him. Apparently he had been working on this since the early 90's, and had only 6 minutes of movie done. But it was enough for this producer. He was moved to an off-Hollywood studio. The 6 minute film was shown to some actors, and Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow signed up. Sounds like another Hollywood success story, if only the movie lives up to the hype.
