Eric Brevig, a renowned film director and visual effects supervisor, was born in 1957. He is known for his impressive work in various major theatrical films and television shows. As Visual Effects Supervisor and Second Unit Director on the 2001 action drama Pearl Harbor, directed by Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay, Brevig showcased his exceptional skills in visual effects.
During his film school days at UCLA, Brevig became fascinated with the potential of 3D for live-action movie production. He dedicated himself to learning everything he could about it and gained extensive knowledge. In 1986, he played a crucial role in supervising the technical aspects of 3D photography for the Disney theme park's Captain EO short film.
Throughout his career, Brevig has worked on several special effects-heavy films, including Men in Black and Pearl Harbor, where his previous 3D experience and expertise proved to be a significant factor in landing his first full-fledged director's job. He was offered the chance to direct the 2008 film Journey to the Center of the Earth 3-D, the first narrative feature shot entirely in digital 3-D, for New Line Cinema.
Brevig's next project was Yogi Bear, a 3-D movie, for Warner Bros. He is also attached to direct a 3-D Korean War drama, 17 Days of Winter, about the 1950 Battle of Chosin Reservoir. Expected to cost $80-100 million, the film is scheduled to shoot in Korea and New Zealand during the 2010-2011 winter season, with a planned release in 2012.
