Video: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Jennifer Lawrence’s X-Men Makeup
There is one thing I remember vividly from the early days of X-Men movies. It was a sound byte from John Stamos, who was at the time married to Rebecca Romijn, and it was with regard to Rebecca’s crazy blue Mystique makeup. I’m paraphrasing a bit here– it’s been years since I read that article and I’m not even entirely sure where I found it anymore– but the quote went a little something like this: “You have NO IDEA the places where I keep finding blue makeup on her after she comes home from work.” That quote alone was enough to make me never want to play a character in any kind of film, television, or theatrical pursuit that required heavy makeup or prosthetics EVER IN MY LIFE. Funny, then, that ten years later, another sound byte involving a totally different actress, but still involving the same character would drive that point home as if it had never been made before. Want to see what Jennifer Lawrence had to go through in the makeup chair in order to become Mystique in this summer’s X-Men: First Class? Check this out: More »
‘Game of Thrones’ and the Art of the Visual FX Reel
Even if you don’t know much about filmmaking, odds are, you’re aware of the mark of good special effects: If the effects are reeeeeeally good, you don’t actually notice them. This is one of the reasons why the Lord of the Rings trilogy is so good; it’s one of the reasons why Black Swan was so good; and it’s one of the reasons that HBO’s Game of Thrones is so good. This is also why it’s so much fun when special effects reels detailing how all of those so-spectacular-you-didn’t-even-notice-them things were accomplished pop up on the Internet. Hoorah for the Internet! More »
Crushable Books: 6 Things We Didn’t Know About ‘Constructing Green Lantern’
There’s only two weeks left until the release of Green Lantern, which means only two more weeks to sit and wonder whether it’s going to be awesome or awful. However, awesomeness or awfulness aside, it DOES look like it has some pretty snazzy special effects and an impressive production design. We got to take a look at the making of the film, thanks to the new book Constructing Green Lantern: From Page to Screen landing on our desks recently. Written by Green Lantern’s researcher and asset manager, Ozzy Inguanzo, the book goes behind the scenes and delves into how the production team built the world of Green Lantern from the ground up. Here are six neat things we learned about the making of the film: More »
