  • @einootspork that was all photoshoped...not a big deal :)

  • What I really want to know is how they made him look younger than he was in the scenes near the end of the movie.

  • Aha, so the aha-erlebnis did come with Mova Contour

  • omg

  • @jaxblade07 And that was a year ago! Have you seen Tron: Legacy yet? Digital Jeff Bridges was so freaking incredible. Never before has a digitial effect made me question it, considering I'm trying to get into this industry was pretty insane. I usually have a really good eye for stuff like that.

  • this was used in the Social Network movie too..the twins are just one guy and a vague lookalike.

  • I hope people don't fall of this when its used against us. Like the fake alien invasion planned for 2012.

  • GO ONLIVE!!!

  • @SolarEXtract

    It was done by the same people.
