From my point of view, this is a total waste of money. I read this article this morning on Yahoo news and was so shocked at why they would do this. The only conclusion I came to was "cuz they can".
tron movie reverseages
If you are not into reading this article it basically is about a new movie Tron and how they are manipulating Jeff Bridges to look younger. He is 61 and they want him to look 35. Ok..they use computer graphics, yeah...it is in all movies these days. But they use his head and change it AND put it on another actor's body. HUH?
This quote from the article about one of the characters. "Clu bears Bridges' face, altered to make him about 35 years old, but it's grafted onto a younger actor's body."
Why spend all that money, and this HAS to be expensive, to change these things. Just hire a younger actor in the first place. There is so much talent in the world, surely they can find someone good.
But I question something deeper. Why the need to keep our actors looking young? What the heck is wrong with aging. I personally find it disturbing when someone who is past 70, ahem, Like Barbara Walters, for example, to look early 40's. It just isn't right. What message are we sending our young? It is NOT ok to age? If your body is not perfect..change it?
Plastic surgery and photo manipulation have already gone overboard but this completely false representation of an actor is absurd!
