highly unlikely. this choice was made out of political correctness. for some odd reason, as soon as a director has achieved overwhelming fame and fortune using weapons and violence as their canvas, they suddenly grow a conscience. it's weird. it also happened to Cameron just recently. as for Lucas, ...

if it's the last 3 SW's then it's kind of like saying that "The Apple Dumpling Gang" is being released on Blu ray

So James Cameron's latest really lives up to it's hype!!

I LOVED it!!! Seen it twice, and will go for a third time this weekend!

i told you

saw the film tonight at ILM. there is no visual parallel. the "blue" creatures have believable performances and great joe letteri rendering. i did not like the "general guy" however. he had a look of no past sufferage. the toughest guys i've ever met are silent, not loud. i missed one more classic c...

Gang. A few months ago I predicted (actually a few years ago) that the first use of a synthetic cg actor “aping” for real, would not be announced at the point of release but after the film had it’s run in the form of something atypical of an fx film’s perdictable visual boner. A stupid sex/comedy fi...

There are those who are driven to invent and those who are driven to take the credit for it. Usually they’re not the same person.

sorry pal, i'd love to take that bait, but the answer would be liable.

sorry gang, what i meant to say was

" don’t be to SURPRISED that a lot of mo-cap gets tossed and the acting choice is left to the animator. "

The “digital prosthetics” in the case of Gollum or Davy Jones were great. I keep on thinking what Lasseter said regarding “who will make them act ?”. The principal motion of Gollum and Davy Jones came from an actor and was supplemented by digital. I’m certain much of this motion, especially in the c...

What Lasseter said is correct. However , I think there seems to be a large difference in the “acting” abilities of contemporary actors vs the Monroe era. Audiences are “told” who is a good actor these days. The reason there is an infatuation with older actors is because they had character that trans...

Resurrecting deceased actors, for the reasons you mentioned Ben, will be met with more scrutiny both morally and visually, than creating “Indiana Jones” types data-puppets who only exist synthetically. Neither of which benefit the human race, incidentally . I remember about a 100 millions years ago,...

Cameron’s films always seem to advance the process of film making. As an example, the technology developed for the Abyss, was the only reason the technology on T2 happened. The Trex for Jurassic was built the same way as the T1000 for T2. Cameron is an example of a director who gets it, in the sense...

actually, gang , insulting the Wild vs insulting Cars or anything other Disney picture is an odd duck. when we were doing this film , we had no idea that it was being purposely sabotaged by back room Pixar/Disney meetings. it didn't matter how good or bad the film ended up being. we were screwed fro...

not only does it look like Lego , but so do the stories. you can disassemble and reassemble them in any manner you wish. for example: Yoda is Jabba's father. there, see i already wrote a future Star Wars film.
