I just find it funny how every time a Brad Pitt movie comes out, the first thing that people talk about is not his acting but his appearance.

There's a huge difference between that and making an actor look 22 again. Creating photo-real effects for the human face is often described as the holy grail of digital effects technology. Once they can do that, that's when you'll start to see Marilyn Monroe starring in movies again and Cate Blanchett being able to play 25 year olds in films if you want. Whole new world.

Probably the film I want to see the most this year now. And I don't care how they handle Pitt when he's young, the makeup when he's an old boy is totally freaky.

Hopefully that's what they'll do here, too. Ryan, didn’t you see the trailer for The Guru where Mike Myers’ face is planted on a child’s body? Hopefully that’s what they’ll do here, too.

But I think the bulk of the movie takes place when he's, like, 30-50, so they don't have to do much.

Are they going to splice in outtakes from Thelma & Louise or something? Or are they relying on that "we've weirdly, digitally removed the lines from your face, a la X-Men 3" technology. Either way, I'm interested to see if they pull it off. I can’t figure out how it’s going to work. Are they going to

It's one of my favorite pieces of all time. I think every trailer should be set to Saint-Saens’ The Aquarium. It’s one of my favorite pieces of all time.
