@tvaziri I watched all the BTS I could find of the prequels when I was a kid. It was amazing seeing something I hadn’t seen before on the Corridor video. Truly inspiring stuff.
(4/4) I just think it's incumbent upon directors and other public-facing, influential figures in film to be careful not to shape public perception in a way that is detrimental to artists.
(1/4) That's not what the public thinks, though. As much as I love his work, when Nolan says they didn't use "CGI" in Oppenheimer, the public equates "CGI" with "VFX" and as a filmmaker he should know that.
(3/4) are clearly capitalizing on growing public sentiment against "CGI." I mean, when you have a Guardian article praising the practical nature of Barbie where the featured image shows a blue screen, you know the public is confused about this stuff.
@lookner Just to clarify, I’m not saying the contents of the press release isn’t true, I’m just saying a deleted press release shouldn’t be taken as something that suggests anything.
@lookner Hey Steve. It’s very possible someone in their PR just wrote that ahead of time as a possible outcome. It’s possible they know something, but this isn't proof of anything. They could have a couple press releases ready.
