minus-squareSpaceCowboy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day ago a casting for a prosthetic made over 40 years ago was used to recreate the image of Peter Cushing so that he could appear as Grand Moff Tarkin again. They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should. In the end it was really creepy to have a dead person have so much screen time in a movie.

I loved Tron Legacy, but the de-aging on Jeff Bridges was just off. So those scenes with CLU and in the past just drew me out of the film.
