Why is he on a podium in those robes? Why are all those cameras around him like that? Oh no.

No no no no no that's probably a setup for recording a Jedi Spirit. I hope I'm wrong and it's just for a holo-recording, though.

Dude, it's 2015. There's going to be CGI. Deal.

There was even lots of CGI in the "practical effects" darling, Mad Max Fury Road.

I'm just extra disillusioned today because I learned that GOT spoiler

Cersei's walk of shame was done via CGI and body double.

Does appear to be a bunch of DSLRs though. But then, those seem to be used more and more in production film lately.

You guys say dead. I say holo-projection ala R2-D2 or whatever is more likely.
You guys keep saying it's gonna make him transparent, I keep thinking they're just gonna digitize him so they can still CGI him doing cool force shit n stuff.

I mean, you don't need more than 1 camera to do a transparent overlay.
 
Well, I wasn't the only one who was fooled. All the fansites and media were going ape about
how "brave" Lena Headey was for doing that scene, etc."
That's weird, i mean her face and the doubles face where of different lengths/heights... it jumped out at me like a cheap japanese sex bot right out of the uncanny valley...
 
I thought it might be just the sticks, but at least embedded here on the forum they appeared to have some glow to them. I thought it was maybe the early animation to track the saber movements before going in later to add the real effects.
Yeah, it seems they do... i like how Vader's saber loses the glow after it hits the pipe (you can see it if you pause).
 
Nathan Fillion wants to play Booster Gold.

Of course, the character would never fit with the dark and gritty universe of the movies (plus they'd have to find someone to play his BFF Blue Beetle), but man he would be perfect.
Okay, 'shoppers! Nathan as a blonde. Get to it! :)[DOUBLEPOST=1440316132,1440316071][/DOUBLEPOST]

It gets better. Same interview, he also wants to be Ambush Bug. :D :D
 
It's unfortunate that the current mindset of the folks running the DCU wouldn't mesh with any character he'd be great for. It's sad because he really seems to love DC Comics, but the way things are running he'll never get past voice work (I did enjoy his Hal, though).
 
Rumor mill says there's a Mega Man entering development.

The bad news? It would be live-action.

The other bad news? Developed by Fox.

Don't know how legit this is yet, but sites are carrying it. Then again, the Zelda/Netflix deal seemed legit and wasn't, so who knows.
