It’s Hollywood’s blockbuster, Blockbuster season when reality, fantasy, humour, adrenaline-fuel action and Christmas magic create excitement and fill screens. This year, World of Tanks, has combined all of the above and joined in the buzz.
Production company 100% (formerly Halal) and creative agency Matter and Energy (formerly CUBO) have teamed up with VFX and post-production company, Glassworks, to produce an absolute epic – an explosive short film with big stunts, huge set designs, epic effects and action film legend, Jason Statham as Santa’s most unlikely stunt double driving a 30-tonne tank. It’s a film that lives up to, maybe even raises, World of Tanks’ reputation for riveting annual Holiday Ops short films.
The 6-minute short film, directed by Nez Khammal and shot at London’s famous Warner Bros. Studios, explores a meta-film-within-a-film concept, with an explosive opening scene that gives way to behind-the-scenes chaos on a Hollywood movie set.
