SCREENING: NAT GEO “T.Rex Walks Again.”

Preview of the National Geographic Documentary
“T Rex Walks Again” - Feb 24th @ 5:15, Lecture Hall

Message from Prof. Marguerite Holloway,

My friend, Thomas Lucas, will be previewing his new National Geographic documentary on Tuesday, February 24th, here at the journalism school! It is called “T.Rex Walks Again.” Here is a short description: “”How could a tiny Tyrannosaurus rex baby grow into a six-ton super carnivore? Dinosaur builder Hall Train and renowned paleoartist Jason Brougham team up with some top scientists to attempt to bring a new vision of T. rex to life. Will they be able to uncover the truth about this fascinating animal and create the world’s most accurate, fully skinned, mechanical replica of a walking juvenile T. rex?”

Filmmaker Thomas Lucas and two of the film’s subjects—Hall Train of Hall Train Studios in Toronto and Jason Brougham of the American Museum of Natural History—will be available after the film to answer students’ questions about making science documentaries, modeling dinosaurs and other related topics.

The film will start at 5:15 in the Lecture Hall.

Discussion will run from 6:15 until 7:00.

Thanks very much,

Marguerite
