Not much is known about how director Danny Boyle's three-hour Opening Ceremony will look, but CNN says the extravaganza has cost more than $42 million and will feature "10,000 adult volunteers and 900 children ... 12 horses, 10 chickens, nine geese, three cows and a flock of sheep, complete with sheepdogs."

The ceremony airs on NBC starting at 7:30 p.m. ET.
