We just had to post this hilarious picture of Seth Rogan as Frieda Kahlo in Vanity Fair. We think they did an amazing job with the background as well as the make-up.

What is Filming Now

They needed 800 extras to film above, 200 of which were tourists.

LEAP YEAR
starring Amy Adams (pictured below), Matthew Goode,
and Adam Scott (pictured below) read more about it here.

It is being filmed in Dublin, Ireland, but they still had to bring in the fake snow.

Apparently they don't like the look of surrounding buildings, so they set up green-screens.

Fake snow coming in! (either shredded styrofoam or salt)

Angelina Jolie is still getting SALT-y.

They filmed Wednesday, April 8th out on the New York harbor by Staten Island, all bundled up.

Nicholas Cage is filming "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" at the 7th Avenue subway stop in NYC. Nicholas Cage apparently plays the Sorcerer, but he sort of looks homeless here....it is based on Disney's story of the same name in the film "Fantasia".

FIRST GLIMPSES AT HARRY POTTER'S WIZARDING WORLD

First glimpses of the Harry Potter theme park that is set to open in 2010 in Orlando, FL that will be part at Universal Studios amusement park.

Stuart Craig (production designer of Harry Potter films) is a lucky man!! How many production designers get their designs put into reality? Very few. Plus, there is a traveling art exhibit of the Harry Potter sets occurring, starting this summer in Chicago, IL (details to come).

Quantum of Solace Oil Slick

(source: Telegraph.co.uk, filmschool rejects)
The 'crude oil’ that is used to cover Gemma Arterton was actually food thickener mixed with children’s black non-toxic paint. It took the special effects team about an hour and a half to get it just right. Gemma could not move during that period of time. They are paying homage to early bond films by using the scene from the film "Goldfinger" (1964) where Shirley Eaton is covered in gold.
