Pretty sure we're entering an 'immortal actor' zone where there is going to be weird 3D scans of computer animated actors from years past that just keep getting re-used. That weird thing from Rouge One today, Tom Cruise tomorrow. And the day after, and after, and after, etc.

Yeah that Tarkin poo poo was the only part I didn't like about Rogue One. The rest of the movie was great.

Didn't Jay claim on the mummy review that Tom Cruise is getting digital touch-ups?

Yea they showed behind the scenes footage of him shirtless and he was much paunchier than he looks in the movie.

I think the Uncanny Valley will prevent the 3D actor thing from ever catching on beyond novelty factor. The better and better the tech gets, the more uncanny the effect will be. I guess in theory we might get to the point where we can do it perfectly, but I'm skeptical.

That would be Josh Trank of fan4stick fame.

I think someone who worked on set agreed with Trank though, that there was a better cut version of the film before Fox interfered.

Even so you gotta fall on the sword if you want future projects, right? Or at least a little more finesse than a Twitter meltdown.

They can't work miracles, but they've been like digitally adding a little hair to Bruce Willis for years now. Or like aging up whatshisname Wolverine in Logan.

If you go to all that trouble then you might as well create digital only actors like that green haired chick from Japan.

Most people if they start out hot (like most actresses, for instance) they won't suddenly turn hideous upon hitting 35 or whatever. A beautiful woman will still be a beautiful woman at 40 - unless she got real fat or acquired a drug problem or hosed up her face with plastic surgery for no reason (Megan Fox) or something. Whenever you see surveys showing the top porn searches "milf" and "mature" or similar things are always near the top, just slightly below "teen." So, I don't buy this poo poo that no one ever wants to look at a woman on screen older than 30. You can throw some hot old broads at us once in a while, Hollywood. We can handle it.

Even if there are raising young stars they get thrown into the YA novel meat grinder which kills their career at the end of whatever imaginary trilogy just from the stink alone. Those that do make it out get zero respect.

Some people never had a "high energy" friend like him and if you haven't, his behavior can easily come across as "trying too hard" or "annoying."

I've had drama/theater friends, so I know the type and it doesn't bother me, because they're usually fairly funny and quick witted, like Landis was with his "Explain Double Down" bit.

It's hard to get upset that actresses stop getting parts when they get older. All you're arguing for is them taking parts away from younger actresses who never had the chances they had. Like oh no, please don't cast that hot 22 year old newcomer, let's cast Nicole Kidman, who had 17 surgeries to look younger, in her 60th role!

And it's not just that people don't want to see older women, people don't want to see movies *about* older women either. So even when they're cast it's always 35 year olds playing women who are much younger. They should cast appropriately according to age and let the milfs retire to Lifetime movies.

Dude, this is so loving ignorant. It one of the most notorious things in the acting industry that a woman above forty practically never gets major roles and at best end up typecast into roles like grannies or witches. Most actors don't turn into superstars which means being an older woman in the industry is typically very difficult if they didn't get a major break earlier in their career, its much more difficult to break into the industry at that age than for their male counterparts, but people still gotta eat so the deck is heavily stacked against older women remaining in the industry.

Its also much easier for a male actor to remain high demand even if they are getting to retirement age, and yet nobody concern trolls about them taking away roles from younger men because it's a stupid made up problem. Also there's basically no distinction about not wanting to see older women and not wanting to see movies about older women.

I generally hate on the whole concept of a cinematic universe, but I would watch the poo poo out of every Discworld movie. Even the minimum budget british ones weren't too bad.

They should make some more before Charles Dance gets too old to play Vetinari because he's perfect for the role.
