The Fangirly Diary of a Geek Girl: Vampire Joy & Mutant Woe
TUESDAY
CGI will be used in Nymphomaniac, where the famous actors will simulate sex from the waist up, and body doubles will actually have sex from the waist down, and then they will “digital-impose the two”. Technology!
JoBlo brings the exclusives! OK, so they are rumors but still! First, the Marvel stuff. The baddie in Guardians of the Galaxy is Ronan the Accuser! While that Kree is not one of the main villains of Marvel, he’s still very important and has featured in interesting comicbook arcs. But, I really don’t see Lee Pace as him, so maybe the movie has another baddie. Now out of MCU, but still Marvel characters, Paul Giamatti will indeed turn into Rhino in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, so he won’t be the thug Aleksei Sytsevich all the time.
Also, we might get Dinobots and Galvatron on Transformers 4! Please let it be true! Also, don’t ruin them, Michael Bay! And please, let Leonard Nimoy voice Galvatron again!
You know how Jurassic Park 4 got postponed indefinitely because it was “too epic and ambitious” to be shown in mid-2014. This made me sad and angry. But apparently we also know another reason, Sam Neill (Dr. Alan Grant, you heathens!) said it’s unlikely he will be back because he’s been told that “it’s a big reboot, a total re-jig”. OMG, am I ready for a Jurassic Park reboot? If it comes in 2015, I hope I will be~
New artwork for The Wolverine! I’m glad they lay off the bad photoshop of the first official posters, and they give us more evocative stuff~
WEDNESDAY
Here are Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman getting photographed a lot on their last day on set of the second episode of Sherlock series 3. I just love these mofos a lot, ok? At least John Watson’s clothes look different this time, except for the parka. Sherlock is in his coat, as usual~
And here’s an article praising Benedict’s comedic abbilities (specially concerning awesome Cabin Pressure) and versatility. BTW, here’s a small peak of Benedict’s deleted scene in Star Trek Into Darkness where he takes a shower of evil. Well, now I can appareciate all the calories he consumed to get bigger. Those are nice pecs! Not Captain America good, but very good nonetheless!
Remember that BBC zombie drama In The Flesh? Well, a new series was commissioned! Yay!
Series two revisits the cauldron of Roarton where the living and the undead have reached a fragile peace. After the shocking events of series one, Kieren is hoping to get on with his second life but the arrival of new and explosive characters throws those plans into disarray. Battle lines are drawn and all will be judged
Zack Snyder (and his wife, producer Deborah Snyder) talk some more about Man of Steel, and tell us to “respect the S”
When they try to dress him up, put him in jeans and a T-shirt or a leather jacket with an S on it, I go: ‘What? Guys, it’s O.K. It’s Superman. He’s the king daddy. You should all be bowing down to him.’
Hugh Jackman got tips from The Rock about gaining muscle for The Wolverine:
I had a mentor, Dwayne Johnson, the Rock. We’re mates, and I said, ‘Mate, I need to know what you do.” And he said, “Tell me you’ve got six months? … You need six months to do this.” He told me the diet — 6,000 calories — (and that) you have to train like no one else.
Wow, compositing for sex scenes? xD Is this a first? I mean, we’ve heard of doubles, merkins and prosthetics, but compositing? xD
@amy, This made me more interested as a FX nerd. I wanna see if I can see where or how they are impossed xD
@mirella, was THAT scene in Antichrist prosthetic? You know, that one scene. With the scissors. I dunno, there’s going to have to be a lot of motion tracking. xD
I have a feeling Shia is going to be very disappointed to not see his junk on the big giant screen doing the deed.
@amy, But if what they said it’s true, he never “did the deed”, just simulated it xD
@mirella, but he said he did it for realz yo. Didn’t he say his script had a disclaimer? xD
Pinkie Prime!
Glad to hear In the Flesh will have a second series.
