    Oh man... that's a scary thought, DC.

    They could pull it off with just the background as CGI I'm sure. That would work well.

    even if they do a few CGI ghouls, it probably won't be half as bad as the CGI in land.

    CGI is can work, if it is done correctly. I got hopes for Mel's son.

    Why do we have to settle for half-bad when we should expect all-good?

    That's what I'd be worried about, or even the CGI in Lord of the Rings-- well-designed and appropriate for a fantasy drama but unrealistic and short-sighted for a horror drama.

    Kick ass concept art ... ... it'd better have shamblers in it though, the book did - and so should the bloody movie, the template is already there in print in the book - and the book was excellent.

    Dude Marc Foster is directing, THEY WILL fuck it up. Have you seen Quantum of Solace?

    They should get Ridley, nah scratch that... Tony Scott to do it.

    I don't know, DJ. To be sure, it's an interesting choice, but hasn't Forster done some decent stuff in the past? Monster's Ball, Stay and Stranger Than Fiction come to mind, as at least decent finished product. And I really liked Finding Neverland. Maybe someone used to presenting a more intimate story can bring back the sense of personal drama & connectedness that today's horror movies are missing.

    Now, I know when you make your mind up about something, DJ, there's no going back and you argue the matter to the death, so I'll just say that it definitely is an interesting and off-genre choice and leave it at that. I, too, am wary, but it's natural to be wary when dealing with a hotly anticipated adaptation.

    Hopefully QOS will be like 1941 was to Spielberg! A slap in the face and a learning experience!

    CGI needs to be done right, and that can change for all of us.

    For me CGI needs to remain in the back ground. The minute you bring an entire creature/character to life in CGI and stick it DIRECTLY in front of the camera you are inherently going to find yourself on a slippery slope. I am Legend totally blew it in the CGI department. They should have rendered mob scenes with CGI and let actors, puppeteers, and traditional FX handle the up close work.

    Gollum in LOTR was a bit different, he did not bother me too much he was subtle, shot well to hide much of of the bad of CGI his movements which were slight for the most. He did not leap 10 feet pound through glass and make a myriad of facial expression showing the intimate details of his mouth. ALL at the same time. There is only so much you can do with CGI.

    Now if it is ONE character you can commit much more time to it, and it becomes easier to pull off. AN ARMY of CGI? Well things go to hell really fast and it is distracting to the eye.

    No ADD camerawork, no action-up-front-then-bugger-all-for-ages pacing, and most importantly NO RUNNERS!

    QoS was very affected by the writers strike as well, keep that in mind. And writers are basicly the people who turn movies into good movies.
