Robert Downey Jr. must be so fond of his role as Iron Man for having agreed to reprise his character for over a decade. How cool it is that Tony Stark has all the money in the world backed up with the intelligence to come up with all sorts of war machine inventions?
Of course, as enamored as we are with “Iron Man,” we know that Robert Downey Jr. doesn’t have to fly across the sky or stand on the edge of a building for the filming of the superhero. Here in this picture, we see proof of the fact that CGI takes care of all of that.
The BFG
What could be more wonderful than having your childhood bedtime stories brought to life? This time it's not your imagination! Roald Dahl's BFG (The Big Friendly Giant), with the help of a blue screen, is as real as ever. And who better to bring this classic tale to life than the master of heartfelt filmmaking, the one and only, Steven Spielberg?
When you have other stunning classics such as "Jurassic Park" and "E.T." under your belt, you fancy yourself tackling any story. Spielberg had his special effects team to thank for bringing a beloved imaginary friend to life. He certainly knows how to pull on our nostalgic heartstrings.
The Dark Knight
Playing the role of Harvey Dent, whose left side of his face is grotesquely scarred after an acidic solution was thrown at him inside the court of justice, is a task that needs serious acting skills. Aaron Eckhart is the man for the job, and here he is photographed simulating a two-faced persona.
It’s quite impressive as it is, imagine how cool it would appear on screen with the added effects. Half of his face looks menacing as he is angered by the death of his girlfriend, Rachel. It's amazing to think that Harvey Dent wasn't even the main villain in 2007's "The Dark Knight."
Guardians of the Galaxy
It was difficult at first for the casting directors to find someone who could effectively voice Rocket, the cybernetically modified raccoon. They hired Bradley Cooper for the job, and he was able to keep up with the character’s fast-talking, while Sean Gunn acts out the physical part of the role for him.
Rocket is a funny character that can quickly turn into a mean fighting machine. But what’s really funny is that, behind the scenes, Gunn had to pose subserviently on set like a domesticated pet, low on the floor. What were serious scenes on the silver screen must have been comic to witness in front of the cameras with Gunn all in green and being patted like a puppy.
Space Jam
Most kids can’t contain themselves from asking too many questions. However, their curiosity never bothers to doubt whether cartoon characters are real, and that’s just part of their charm as children. It is as if Bugs Bunny and his gang of loony characters really live, and their existence is accepted as an inviolable fact.
They must wonder how it feels to have Bugs Bunny sitting in the palm of their hands. How lucky Michael Jordan is, to be with them in the movie "Space Jam." How fun it must be to play basketball with cartoon characters; how soft and velvety they must be!
