Sky Captain and the Films of Tomorrow 417
professorfalcon writes "Foxnews.com has an interview with the stars of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. They talk about their experience hugging a green screen for the entire film, and how the movie is 'unlike anything most audiences have seen before. It uses no sets, only computer generated imagery.' So most audiences didn't see Star Wars?"

There are tons of stories about people with conflicting wardrobes and green screens. My favorite is of a weather lady with heavy blue eyeshadow -- when she blinked you could see rought through her eyes.

I guess Hollywood is finally ditching their Windows 98 installations and replacing them with old school monochrome monitors.

The whole thing would be simpler if you could just buy paint that has a zero alpha component.

I saw the movie; now I want Milk of Amnesia.

Although ... the Tomb Raider chick did a great job ... they should have given her a larger part.
I agree -- Angelina Jolie is damn hot but she looks better when she's wearing form-hugging outfits that give her the illusion of having "bigger parts"!
