I bet Willem spends a lot of his free time staring into mirrors, shouting "AVENGE ME!"

IMO this looks like a film made in 1999. Hard t believe we still get films that look like this and green lantern AFTER Avatar,King kong and Transformers.

He didn't see anything of what he would look like until quite late in the process??

I thought today's mocap was advanced in that the actors could pretty much see a realisation of the CG character almost instantly on the monitors?....

Willem Defoe = Bad-ass. Abosolutley love Boondock Saints. Thanks avenger for reminding me how crazy, yet awesome defoe is...

Going to see this sunday matinee.

FYI - for all people who can't stand 200 kids whining and talking through your movie, Sundya matinee is the place to be. I love seeing movies on the opening weekend and the prices are cheaper (especially 3-D) and its much easier getting a good seat in the theatre...Just sayin
