A new behind-the-scenes, VFX reel for
Rising Sun Pictures' work on
Logan has surfaced on YouTube, which reveals what shots used practical affects and what was digitally inserted into the film during post-production. This is the same VFX company who previously worked on James Mangold's
The Wolverine.
It's pretty insane that films have reached a point to where it's difficult to pinpoint what's digital and what's real. Before watching this video, it would have been perfectly reasonable to assume that much of the blood-splatter and severed limbs were physical props.

Patrick Stewart will reprise his role as Professor X. He'll be joined by Dafne Keen as Laura (rumored to be X-23), Stephen Merchant as Caliban, Boyd Holbrook as Donald Pierce (leader of The Reavers) and Richard E. Grant as Zander Rice (head of the Transigen project).
Logan is loosely based on the Old Man Logan miniseries from comic book author Mark Millar and artist Steve McNiven. The plot find Logan and Professor X on the run, years after the epilogue of X-Men: Days Of Future Past in the year 2024. For undisclosed reasons, the world has transformed into an apocalyptic landscape where mutants are nearly extinct. Professor X and Wolverine are protecting the young Laura who somehow holds the key to a better future.
OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS: In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hide out on the Mexican border. But Logan's attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.
