MUMBAI: Rob Cohen, director and producer of films like The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, XXX and The Fast and the Furious, will be a keynote speaker at the 2009 NAB Show in Las Vegas.
In a morning session on 21 April, Cohen will look at the role of action in motion pictures, how it represents the heart of the medium, encourages technical innovation, and deserves critical recognition that matches its audience appeal.
Cohen says, “From Battleship Potemkin to The Wild Bunch the way action is realised on the screen is what separates motion pictures from other forms of visual storytelling. I’m excited to participate in the Nab Show, to share my thoughts about cinematic language and about what makes creating and watching films freeing and fun”
Nab executive VP conventions and business operations Chris Brown says, “We are pleased to bring Rob and his unique industry perspective to this year’s show. His accomplishments and expertise will provide our audience with an in-depth look at the imaginative and technical talent necessary to develop groundbreaking action films.”
