They should be fighting on a real volcano.

This movie sucks already.

Haha, more location sets!

These look nice I guess, but we learn nothing new from them.

Hayden, please let me have your baby

"It's rough, not smooth, like you?" Jesus, what was Lucas thinking?"

Heh, that EP2 line is probably the most misquoted quote ever. He doesn't say "you", he says "here". Movie's still garbage though.

Cool pics, Hayden looks EVIL there. There might be hope for this one yet.

OMG, the force is so strong in Anakin that he can turn the entire world blue and green!!!!!

Something is wrong with a movie when all the pictures you get of it are blue/greenscreen backdrops.

So your not seeing Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow? Or Sin City?

The CG better be of the highest quality because it has aged pretty damn badly from what I remember of Episode 1. The last battle looks extremely fake and totally computer generated.

Anakin looks pretty wicked in these shots though. Maybe Hayden has learned how to act for this movie?...

 

[IAmtheFMan]

Hayden knows how to act; it's his director that doesn't know how to direct. I see working on the PT films like that one episode of friends, where Joey's in a play and the director comes up to him and goes, "okay, now listen up my talking props!"

In fact, say what you will but Hayden did show some emotion in EP:II. Granted, it was almost entirely, "I'm a whiny-ass crybaby that just wants to screw Matilda and kill things" but it was there, which is more than can be said for Portman's performance.

I have a cautious hope for this one. It would seem that most of the actors know what's going down plotwise, so there's less question about motivations and emotion. Hopefully, this one will work well.

maybe its lucas's master plan? refurb the cg every 20 years now

 

[evil ways]

The problem was not really Hayden's acting, but more like the dialogue. He's not a great actor, but in some scenes you could tell he was pretty good.

 

[Alucard]

I liked him in Life As A House.

Star Wars was never really known for its acting anyways. Hayden did bother me a bit in Episode 2 though. The kissing scene seemed so forced.

 

[Kon Tiki]

ya more CG.

Based on?

There were no actors in clonetrooper armor in AOTC. None. At all. In any scene. Every time you see a clonetrooper -- every single time, even when other actors were nearby -- it was CGI.

Which is retarded.

There's an army of nerds who would build their armor and show up for free.

Birth of Vader:

I don't care how jaded you are. I still get a little excited seeing those.

 

[Prine]

Even though the Darth Vader suit is almost 30 yrs old, the design still kicks ass.

 

[BigJonsson]

VADER IS TEH AWESOME!

 

[Wario64]

There's a pic of Anakin in a hallway of a Star Destroyer or whatever, you know the interior with the white walls. It looked totally retro and awesome

 

[ManaByte]

Look what saber is attached to his belt!

 

[MASB]

I wonder if the actors ever get disoriented being in that sea of green and blue colors so much.

 

[Drinky Crow]

That would matter if they actually had decent lines to "act".

Actually, that was Tantive IV... so it better look retro, it was first filmed in the 70s.

Hey man post these in this thread:

Man I just keep hearing "Blue screen sucks blah blah blah" Do you know how much blue screen the original Trilogy used? LOTS! And in places you wouldn't believe either. They didn't budget for an entire Star Destroyer bridge so the majority is a matte painting in the wide shots. Same with the Death Star corridors. Many of the Ewok Villiage scenes. The entire sequence with Darth and Luke battling over the pit in Bespin was Blue Screen which is probably the most well remembered sequence of the enitre original trilogy.

People are acting like they used to build the entire Death Star to film the movies in!

And Hayden can act. His dialouge about slaughtering the Sand People still sends chills up my spine. That was both good writing and great delivery.
