No, not by today's standards, pr. the recent, poor attempts in ROGUE ONE. I'd rather they continue the timeline after no. 4 already! Unless, of course, they do it tastefully by having her face in the shadow, obscured or otherwise not glaringly 'uncanny valley'. LOGAN solved it reasonably well.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Really? I hadnt noticed. Good job! They also quite successfully de-aged Michael Douglas. It's probably easier to do when using the original actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,517 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 48 minutes ago, BloodBoal said: They had Jackman wear a green mask covering his entire face (including his eyes) to make a CG face of his younger self. Plus, he pretty much moved around in the shadows at night at the farm. In the daylight 'confrontation' scenes towards the end there were fewer close-ups. Plus, he only did about 15 years of de-aging, as opposed to Weaver, who will need...what....40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I still can't get excited for Alien: Covenant. Still, they're doing a limited re-release of the original Alien to promote the upcoming new movie, so I'm excited to see that on the big screen soon. Hurray!

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Doubtful it will be a 35mm print.

Not a chance it'll be 35mm. I don't think that cinema even has 35mm projectors. It'll probably be a DCP, but it'll do. I'm going to see it on a big screen in a darkened room with an audience, so it's good enough. I also don't know if it'll be the original cut or the special edition. Either one is fine by me.

A 2K DCP isn't even that far off in resolution. The difference with simply projecting a Bluray of course is the color space and the larger dynamic range that DCP offers. Also, projecting the Bluray might present some problems for subtitle placement on a cinema screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,371 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Yes, I assume most digital projections are 2K or 4K masters the studio has ready to go (that we the source of the blu rays / 4K Blu Rays) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
