The Dark Knight Younger Versions of.....

[Ronny Shade]

Oh yeah, forgot all about that. I guess this could save Peter Jackson an extra headache with recasting.


It is indeed. I imagine that at some point they'll feat. some type of flashback with Alfred, Bruce's parents, Ras etc. in the sequel(s) and this technology will be an excellent solution to the aging facture.

Christian Bale did an excellent job looking like he was just out of college just by his haircut and demeanor.

and Ra's doesn't age.

Neither (the great) Michael Caine.

 

[Ronny Shade]

apparently

 

[AnimeJune]

Imagine what they can achieve with more time?

Yeah - it could mean that actresses over 40 can finally start getting some decent work!

 

[lujho]

I'm thinking "The Hobbit".

Oh, yes, absolutely. Ian Holm circa 1980 as Bilbo. Perfect. I really, really hope they do that rather than re-cast.

You wouldn't need to bother with Gandalf though - he'd be around the same age anyway.

 

[Ronny Shade]

wouldn't it be expensive to do it for a whole movie?

 

[lujho]

and Ra's doesn't age.

But Liam Neeson does, and that's where the de-aging tech comes in.

not really necessary for the next 2 films....later on, yeah.

 

[lujho]

wouldn't it be expensive to do it for a whole movie?

Yeah, but you'd only do it for a really big movie. Or if it was a more modest movie where it was the only major effect.

 

[Ronny Shade]

I could see them doing it for a Buffy movie, since Boreanaz and Marsters are getting a wee old.

 

[The Batman]

I dont think oldman or neeson need it, because i dont think theyd be in flashbacks. Alfred maybe

 

[Retroman]

Maybe something involving Morgan Freeman?

 

[Ronny Shade]

I'd love to see what this history between Alfred and Lucius is.

 

[The Batman]

ah, yes. i forgot lucius had history with the waynes....

 

[Ronny Shade]

That line...."Lucius" that's all Alfred said, that had SO MUCH FRIKKIN SUBTEXT. It was beautiful.

 

[The Batman]

yeah. it was just the way they spoke to each other. you knew the two have history.

 

[Ronny Shade]

It sounds like I'm seriously pitching this idea now, but what if Lucius dies and they have a bunch of flashbacks about him and Alfred surrounding it.


That could be too much. More fit for a TV show episode...you know when a character has an important moment, they devote the whole episode to him/her.

As are Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry.

 

[Isildur´s Heir]

Looked a little like plastic, but still amazing.

Exactly, specially around the mouths.
But, that kind of technology will only get better with time

 

[Ronny Shade]

As are Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry.

Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry aren't playing ageless vampires.


If Bettany doesn't get joker I could see him playing a really young Alfred.

 

[Timstuff]

LOL, the opening scene from X3 was awesome, I was freaked out when I saw it.

Somehow, I get the feeling ILM is going to be making use of this technique in Indiana Jones 4... A lot.
