Star Wars Episode 3 Release Date Announced
snitty writes "Lucas Films has announced the release date for the last movie in the trilogy of prequels. The date is set for May 19, 2005. The title of the movie has yet to be released. I think I'll give it another year or so before I get on line for tickets."
For example, people gasped in awe at the opening scene in TTT, (Gandalf diving down under the bridge in Moria after the Balrog), but few realize (or will admit) that those effects were essentially copied from the scene in AOTC where Anakin dives from his speeder
Try The 5th Element , taxi scenes. Visual effects for falling/fighting are nothing new.
Rhymes that keep their secrets will unfold behind the clouds.There upon the rainbow is the answer to a neverending story
Aint it cool news reported the title was going to be The Creeping Fear. It isn't fact yet but its from a trusted source. Here is the original story AICN
The Surgeon General says sigs are bad for me.
At least that is what it said earlier in the week on the Star Wars website when you hovered over the list of movies.
Now it says in production.
Barring an April Fools by the folks at Lucasfilm did someone goof?
As a rock-in-roll Physicist once said, No matter where you go, there you are.
The only character I ever thought was cool was Boba Fett, so I guess I'm a little miffed that they rewrote him as a hot-headed latino with a chip on his shoulder.
Um. You stupid ignorant dumb fucking cunt. The actor was Maori, not Latino.
You do realize that only the principal filming was done? The effects and post-production were done after that. Peter Jackson even stated that this approach was adopted specifically to take advantage of of new technologies and methods, and to polish existing material and add new material. TTT was released in Decemeber 2002, AOTC in May 2002.
That doesn't really change his point. They were probably working on producing this shot when AOTC was released, and previsualization was going on much, much earlier still. In one of the TTT commentaries, Jackson notes that he had wanted to do this scene from the very beginning, and that it was originally going to be a much more elaborate scene with Gandalf and the Balrog fighting in the water and up the stairs.
Try Rear Window.
That "Latino" is actually a Maori native of New Zealand.

One down, one to go; you obviously missed The Legend of the Lone Ranger starring the horrible Klinton Spillsbury.
Hey, if they made Steve Buscemi Gilligan, it might not be so...well, yeah, it would still be bad.
Guys, chill out. He wasn't inferring in that passage in psuedo-German anything about Hitler or Nazis watching Star Wars. If you are a computer Geek like me then you know about the Blinkenlights sign.
Do a google search for Blinkenlights and you find a story about a sign posted in a University computer room:
ACHTUNG! ALLES LOOKENSPEEPERS!
Das computermachine ist nicht fuer gefingerpoken und mittengrabben. Ist easy schnappen der springenwerk, blowenfusen und poppencorken mit spitzensparken. Ist nicht fuer gewerken bei das dumbkopfen. Das rubbernecken sichtseeren keepen das cotten-pickenen hans in das pockets muss; relaxen und watchen das blinkenlichten.
