Brad Pitt is set to narrate the upcoming IMAX Documentary film Voyage of Time from director Terrence Malick.
The LA Times spoke to the producer, and among other things he confirmed that Brad Pitt will indeed narrate Voyage of Time as rumored two years ago. He explained that the film was back-burnered as they didn’t want to ‘cannibalize’ The Tree of Life, but that, as mentioned yesterday, Terrence Malick still very much wants to do the film.
Additionally, the LAT got hold of documentation for the film that is illustrated with “images of jellyfish, crocodile embryo, nebular clouds, a slot canyon in Utah and Jupiter’s moon Ganymede” and which says the film will cover “the whole of time, from the birth of the universe to its final collapse.” As we’ve suspected since seeing The Tree of Life, the film sounds like a great expansion of the ‘cosmic’ sequences in that movie. The document for the film also promises subject matter including “the first signs of life, bacteria, cellular pioneers, first love, consciousness, the ascent of humanity, life and death and the end of the universe.”
Not too surprising since they just finished working together on The Tree of Life. Pitt definitely has a great voice for narration, very soothing. I haven’t seen The Tree of Life yet, but obviously Malick is on a roll here with the whole life, death and existence thing. Whenever movies like this come along I get a little stand-offish. I’m hoping neither of them are preachy, that’s not a trait I like in movies.
