7 Movies That Put Insane Detail into Stuff You Never Noticed
We've mentioned before how film directors occasionally go a little bit crazy when it comes to certain minor details, including ones that 99 percent of the audience are never even going to see. A horrifying amount of time and work go into things that will be forever unnoticed by everyone except a few members of the crew. So let's again take a moment to appreciate the awesomely obsessive ... #7. For any sci-fi or fantasy film, it's one thing to make the clothing and equipment look authentic onscreen, and another to add layers of detail that are physically impossible to notice, even if each frame of the movie is examined with a magnifying glass. If Michael Bay had directed this film, all those Uruk-hai would be explosions, and Helm's Deep would be a pair of tits. What's that? KropserkelEven that codpiece is Orc-accurate. Well, that chain mail that you didn't notice, that you couldn't have noticed, was created by the costume department by hand, link by link ... CollectTolkien #6. #5. Also?

SAF to retire!! “My greatest challenge is not what’s happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their perch.” Ferguson on his biggest achievement “At the end of this game, the European Cup will be only six feet away from you and you’ll not even able to touch it if we lose. And for many of you that will be the closest you will ever get. Don’t you dare come back in here without giving your all.” “I can’t believe it. “It would have been Sir Matt Busby's 90th birthday today, but I think he was up there doing a lot of kicking.” “The most important piece of advice he gave me was not to read the press, it was great advice and I have not read it since.” “It can be difficult to pinpoint who would make it as a manager. “They say he’s an intelligent man, right? “He was certainly full of it, calling me Boss and Big Man when we had our post-match drink after the first leg. “That lad must have been born offside.” “It was a freakish incident.

The 32 Greatest Unscripted Movie Scenes Much to the dismay of screenwriters, movies scripts aren’t always set in stone. They are often like living objects constantly evolving during the filming process. Some films, like Jaws and Annie Hall, don’t even have a finished script when the cameras start to roll. Actors and actresses are regularly ad libbing, improvising or going off-script while reciting their lines. Sometimes the directors hate it – other times they love it. Occasionally the improved lines become immortalized as some of the most memorable in cinema history. Check out these 32 great unscripted scenes – you may be surprised at how many of your favorite lines were off-the-cuff.

Daniel Day-Lewis: The Butcher, Oil Taker, 13th Amendment Maker Daniel Day-Lewis , an actor who usually portrays his characters with bombastic furor, finds a softer voice as Lincoln, in Steven Spielberg’s new period film, now in theaters. Yes, it’s ironic that the character he played in Gangs of New York hated President Lincoln but it is far more interesting to take a deeper look at how the Oscar winner prepares for such epic roles, through his mind, body and now, most notably, his voice. 10 years ago, Martin Scorsese’s period drama brought us the violent Bill the Butcher, played by Day-Lewis. While Day-Lewis doesn’t like to reveal too much about his work, he does admit in this interview with The Independent , the role of Bill was very tough on him. He trained as a butcher, caught pneumonia while on set (having refused to change his coat for a warmer one because it hadn’t existed in the 19th century), and wandered about Rome (where Gangs was filmed) in character, fighting strangers. “The legacy of his writing was hugely important.
