its been a while since ive seen the movie, but i remember mattie having both arms, or am i wrong?
-
I WOULD GIVE MY LEFT ARM FOR A ROLE LIKE THIS!!!! but not my penis.
-
Yes I get it, it was a book b4 John Wayne. Yes I get it, it's Jeff Bridges who I think is great. But NO,NO,NO. I will not see this movie, nobody can or should EVER re-make a John Wayne film. END OF !
-
just to go directly to the war amps, or a VA hospital?
-
They do know that some nut job is going to cut off her left arm just to get a shot at Hollywood, right?
-
Wasn't there a John Wayne movie by that name? Oh, wait, there was! Another remake? *sigh*
-
and chopping your arm off for!
-
the man who mistook his house for a bank. Rip torn faces 5 years in jail after he walked in to a bank with a loaded gun in his pocket. He argued that he mistook the bank for his house. If this was ireland he would be out in two years. he hasnt been jailed yet. but that tag line will stick.
-
That has what to do with this story?
-
Anyone here played God of War III? Check out the VA video in making of section, he could convincingly plead insanity.
-
I imagine them read by Paul Harvey. Doing a Christopher Walken impression. I don't know why. But I do. And in that spirit. Once they find this one-armed woman they should keep her on deck for the Preacher movie. To play the one-armed woman in that
-
That happened a while ago... why bring it up now?
-
The producers should contact Walter Reed. Many soldiers, some of them women, have lost limbs in the Iraq war. This is a chance for one of them to earn some money.
-
Bridges is cast in the John Wayne role. I can't see that at all. Come to think of it, my interest is piqued.
-
It was only just reported here in Ireland and the UK. Sky news showed the footage of rip torns drunken arrests.
-
. . . I feel like I'd be excited for the Coens' even if I had. I hope the Bros aren't lying through their teeth and saying they never saw the orignal film like Burton did w/ Willie Wonka.
-
should be an HBO series. Only way to do it justice.<P> Saint of Killers!
-
"... do we just hire this miserable armless freak to humiliate her for peanuts? Hmn...."
-
. . . they need her for more than a friggin' movie poster? That she'll be IN the film? I think you are supposed to be bitching about CGI, not Photoshop.
-
Or The Fugitive.
-
How do we know this ad isn't a fake put out by an amputee fetishist desperate for photos of slim women with one arm? It's a thought...
-
"Do you like to play Super Mario Bros while taking it on the ass? This post is for you. M4W."
-
I misread it as being photo SHOOT double.
-
I think they were using it as a verb, not talking about the actual program. As in "Why don't you just photoshop that out." But proper use of the English language aside, if it worked for Forrest Gump...
-
There is a precedent
-
Merrick has really specific tastes.
-
I don't get it either. You can't tell me they can't shoot around it... or use cgi...photoshop...etc. on the arm.
-
think out of the box... gheez. You don't need an amputee, etc. for this.
-
I think the film is a more accurate adaptation of the novel, and isn't using the Wayne film as its source.
-
I assumed that meant they need ONE PHOTO of an amputee for a prop.

Just chop off Frances McDormand's arm and be done with it

then here is your chance to be a part of a porno movie.Auteur film-maker of pornographic films,Antonio Analioni is searching his next protagonist for his new porn film: "One breast is better than none" <p>Any woman with one breast who is interest,should contact asap.ATTENTION: we are looking for women who are missing their RIGHT breast,not the LEFT one.

Maddie has her arm amputated after being bit by the rattlesnake.
-
the nasty break that she suffered in the fall.
-
In the book she looses her arm from the snake bite you may remember from the original movie. Which, I assume, means the Coen's are going with the book's ending. The different ending of the original movie is the only major divergence from the book. Otherwise it's incredibly faithful. Wouldn't surprise me if it's the only major divergence from the movie the Coens are making.
-
Cogburn will not be wearing an eyepatch in the Coens' film
-
Thanks for the explaination. I'm going to find and read the book the first chance I get. This movie is one of my favorites and I hope the Cohens do it justice.
-
anyway, they shouldn't have too much trouble, they've been at war for like 7 years? I bet there's plenty of amputees to choose from in their army
-
Yeah, they technically could use CGI to remove the arm, and probably will for many shots, but why not get a double for the distance or odd angle shots? It would save quite a lot of time and money.
-
READ SOME ORIGINAL SHIT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. THERE ARE A MILLION FUCKING BOOKS THESE HOLLYWOOD MORONS COULD MAKE INTO MOVIES!!! No wonder they all voted for Obama. They are RETARDS.

Or they could just, you know, erase the arm digitally
by OutsideChance
...seems like a good example of when special digital effects make sense.
-
If you don't have to spend money on cgi why use it? Seems like an exspensive fix to me. Do what they used to do in the old days and use a person. Easy.
-
To make a semen on her brest, this is the PORNO STULE of the classic west. THIS MOVEIS WILL MAKE MILION OF DOLAR!!!1
