INTERVIEW: CHRISTOPHER LEE TALKS HORROR FILMS AND THEIR AUDIENCE!

#CHRISTOPHERLEESATURDAYS! RELAXED and yet sharp, Christopher Lee interviewed back in 1968.  The question of, do horror films, influence the vulnerable in society, and  Lee's answer,  is a blinder...which cramps any return, even from someone as cool and as accomplished as the late, Alan Whicker . .

#TOOCOOLTUESDAY: LIKE FOR LIKE?

#TOOCOOLTUESDAY: Ok we have debated this inside out, upside down... but when you look at the #TARKIN / Cushing CGI from #ROGUEONE it is what it is. If this was a piece of art work, a sketch and photoshop result, it's not bad, the problem is when you animate it....For all the effort that the effects ROGUE team undertook, they should be awarded for that, don't you think? CGI ON THE LEFT!

CUSHING COPY: ROGUE ONE NOT THE FIRST

#ROGUEONE is not the first time that Peter Cushing has had a likiness of his face/ head appear on the big screen... Here is Peter with, his 'chopped noggin' on the set of 'The House That Dripped Blood' (1971)...granted this head didn't cost the earth in CGI effects, and maybe wasn't the most reliable of replica's...but back in the day, we gave it the 'nod'😉

THE GUARDIAN NEWS PAPER 16th December 2016

'The effect is remarkable, if uncanny, and the technology is breathtaking. How the trick was pulled off remains a mystery as the wizards at Lucas Film and Disney remaining tight-lipped about their achievement. Since the start of cinema, its technical magic has always made us gasp, and seeing Cushing interacting, near seamlessly, with new characters brings a smile to the face'.

THE WASHINGTON POST December 15th 2016

'If “Rogue One” wins an Oscar for effects, Cushing — or rather, “Cushing” — should be in no small part why.

'Under director Gareth Edwards, “Rogue One” represents another marker in the decades-long quest for the best CGI-fashioned human replicas. The filmmakers auditioned actors to “play” Cushing’s Tarkin, settling on BBC soap actor Guy Henry. This Tarkin is thus free of the dreaded “dead eye” effect. Lo, though the effects wizards walk through the “uncanny valley,” Tarkin registers as quite alive — even if his facial proportions sometimes read as ever so slightly off from the Original Trilogy. We are nearing the reality of a fully fleshed-out, CGI-enhanced performance long after an actor has passed.'
