But if it's a hoax, it's certainly an extensive one, and there are some good artists involved; the site is filled with art, storyboards, and photos.  The video they used to have of a CGI unicorn seems to have been replaced with a movie of a live horse.  The site explains:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The unicorn will be a trained horse (in fact 6-8 identical horses) altered by CGI extensions, make-up and occasionally full CGI replacement.<\/p>\n<p>The other creatures will be animatronics, CGI creations and prosthetics in combination. The cat will be a trained animal with CGI muscle replacement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I don't see any sign of the script that I think used to be downloadable from that site.  (I know I got it from somewhere on the web; I thought it was that site.)<\/p>\n<p>The locations section says: \"The film will be shot in Hungary, Wales, Ireland, Morocco and South Africa.\"  There are some gorgeous photos of Wales in the photo gallery there.<\/p>\n<p>I hope the movie turns out to be both real and good.  That may be too much to ask for, but I'll keep hoping 'til I find out otherwise.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almost a year ago, I posted about the alleged upcoming live-action movie of The Last Unicorn.
