The BBC has announced today that supreme character actor Michael Sheen is to play Andy Serkis in a new film about the life and career of Michael Sheen.
Serkis was unavailable to play himself in the film as he's to use his vast motion capture experience to play a computer generated replica of Michael Sheen. Using the latest in digital animation technology, Serkis' every move will be cleverly digitised and used to drive a CGI overlay of Sheen, who was unavailable for the part himself due to other commitments.
