Coming Soon attended a 45-minute presentation for Fox/Blue Sky’s Epic, in which director Chris Wedge showed new scenes and elaborated on making the film. One interesting note from Wedge was that Epic bears little resemblance to its original source material, William Joyce’s illustrated storybook The Leaf Men. The project became something different when Joyce left to work on DreamWorks’ Rise of the Guardians, Wedge said. While audiences may have to wait until May 24th to view the scenes from the presentation, some of the footage can be caught in Epic’s brand-new trailer:
