Kevin mcimrarty talked to the director about the proper use of special effects and how to pull audiences into a scifi world. If you were hypothetically h had been a director in theyp 1930s and no success to the special effects how would you have done this practically . 30s would have been tough. Mid 60s you could have done it. It man in a suit we followed carefully, if you see it again a in imax, you notice that we keep the proportions basically of a man in a suit. So even the ones with many legs you could have done it because many characters in the classic movies have many legs you would be compositing miniatures butre could you make it for sure. What would be the hardest scene . Most difficult scene would be the fight in the stratosphere. Yeah. The scene that happens above the earth. Doing that would have been very tough. One thing ive been fascinated by is when a director decides where to put the phillip. What is that choice . Sometimes you put it at the end because you dont want to interrupt the narrative.

Were learning new details it the murder case involving former new england patriot aaron hearn cez. Unsealed documents reveal one of suspects told police that hernandez admitted to shooting odin lloyd. It was also discovered that tha during the investigation policee found a car wanted in connection with the double murder last year. It was rented under the name of hernandez. He has pleaded not guilty to murder charges. The key issue in the George Zimmerman murder trial is why he shot and killed Trayvon Martin. The defense explained how he did it. Foxs phil ceeting is in sanford, florida, with the latest. For just the third time in the trial jurors watched the hoody with one bullet hole in the chest used by the defense along with the arizona fruit drifng he had to bolster what he said happened. The doctor testified that martin on top straddling zimmerman is supported forensically. The wound itself by the gap, by the powder at that tattooinge class of contact of the clothing indicates that this is consistent with mr. Zimmermansz account that he that mr. Martin was over him leaning forward at the time he was shot. The defense expert analyzinga the photos also supporting skimmermans claim that tray von martin was pummeling him withith his fist and smashing his head to the walkway about. Up on cross they exploited the fact that the expert has been paid more than 2,000 to test t and cannot say who instigated the altercation. You cant say whether it was Trayvon Martin or george zimmerren defending himself when it are the first started. Sta thats correct, sir. S im not having a jury sit here for 45 minutes doing nothing.
