  1. Ryan Gosling actually putting on an EV suit and going to space is such impressive dedication to the role

    Co-director Chris Miller:

    >“What’s fun about the movie is that there is no green screen in the movie whatsoever. Not a single green or blue screen was used. The whole ship was built as a set from the inside. We had a huge section of the exterior of the ship on the outside that we built. [The alien character Rocky] was really with us at all times.”

    >“And so, that’s what makes it feel real and makes it feel natural. And the way that [cinematographer Greg Fraser’s] team lit [the set] with a lot of practical effects, allowed him to move the camera wherever and find these moments. Because you weren’t just guessing and pointing it at where Rocky *might* be someday [if the character was added in post-production]. That’s what makes [the action] feel like it was captured in the moment.”

    The budget is reportedly $248M ($200M after tax credits)

    Seeing this day one, ordering on 4K day one, I haven’t been this excited for a movie since the hobbit, and boy did that turn out………oh……….oh no……….

  4. Ahhh so blue screen or The Volume. I see your particular chosen word promo speak director

  5. This always turns out to be code for “there’s actually a SHIT TON of VFX work we’re actively hiding during the Press Tour”

    It’s a damn shame the Solo movie basically stripped Lord and Miller of directing for 10 years. Two of the most talented directors both in animation and live action in the business.

  7. If they would stop lying that would be great.
    People aren’t against CGI, just against lazy directors that use CGI as a band-aid.

  8. Isn’t it like…fundamentally impossible to make a movie like this without using green screen to some extent?

  9. It’s a space movie about interacting with an alien. That feat doesn’t really sound like a brag.

    Why do they insist on depreciating the extremely hard work of VFX artists? Don’t fucking hire them and then say they did nothing for your film SET IN SPACE

  11. Why do they always need to gloat about this? Even if it is so what? CGI can still look good. It’s like they think by stating this it’s gonna make people like the film more.

    We’ve been through this so many times lol!

    They used Blue Screen and they will edit it out for the bts

  13. Yeah probably because they used blue screens that do exactly the same thing lol

    Is this an important distinction? There’s nothing wrong with green screen if done well
