Sylvain chome, director of the belleville triplets, has switched to a live-action film.

First it was Brad Bird. Now Sylvain Chomet, the director of The Triplets of Belleville and The Illusionist, has switched over to live-action filmmaking. Chomet's feature debut, Attila Marcel, will premiere tonight at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film is described as follows:

Chomet, who had earlier dabbled in live-action with a segment in Paris, je t'aime, explained the switch to live-action in an interview with the LA Times:

There's still some hope for those who appreciate Chomet's animation films. The Times said that Chomet currently has two features in development-one live-action and one animated-and he plans to make the film that gets funding first.
