“Back to the Future” Comparison

djStelios — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 17:03:34 +0000

In the years between Back to the Future and Back to the Future II, Michael J. Fox visibly aged and the actress playing his girlfriend was replaced by Elizabeth Shue. Thus, to show the closing scene from the first film as the opening of the second, it was necessary to completely reshoot it. Dig?

Anyway, as you can see, someone has made a side-by-side comparison of the sequence so you can now needlessly critique how well Robert Zemeckis and crew recreated the scene. The audio is layered together as well, and for some reason hearing a duet of Docs saying, in unison, “Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need… roads,” is utterly hypnotizing:

Movies Video: “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” Workprint Leaks Online

djStelios — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 10:04:01 +0000

According to HitFix, workprint of “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” has allegedly leaked online.

The movie won’t hit theaters until May 1st, 2009 and bad news for 20th Century Fox, people can now watch the workprint on several kinds of websites out there.

The bootleg is purportedly a DVD quality video of the Fox blockbuster without a timecode or studio watermark, but with several visual effects shots unfinished.

The only missing elements to the pirated copy seems to be scenes from director Gavin Hood’s recent reshoots of the film, which, according to actor Hugh Jackman, was the result of scheduling conflicts with the cast/crew, and not problems with the movie itself.

At the moment, Fox Legal is no doubt sending their legal troops throughout the web trying to pull the movie down, but at this point, gentlemen, good luck.
