Force Awakens cast not all played my mo-cap Serkis

“I can say I play only one character,” Serkis tells Entertainment Weekly, submitting to a typically guarded interview that sees the actor sharing “10 things” about his role, provided you count knowing that he wasn’t there to see Ford get injured, or that people were really interested in spying on the set.” As for the few actual, somewhat informative things, Serkis confirmed again that it is his unaltered voice heard in the trailer (“There’s no digital manipulation. That’s just me”), and that it is the voice of his character: a motion-captured recreation of Benedict Cumberbatch.

Theory of Everything

As a kid I couldn’t wait to read A Brief History of Time, I was fascinated by Hawking and his theories. I’m looking forward to this a lot though I think I’ll probably cry (just the brief clips of MND in the trailer got me a little teary).

Eddie Redmayne looks spot on, I have to confess I cringe at the Jupiter Ascending trailer so I’m hoping this will cleanse that from my mind!

I missed this in October, I really hope it gets a wider release in the New Year.

Fury Road

I don’t there’ll be a better-looking film next year. The palette is perfect. If the car sequences are as practical/real as I’ve heard (and as they (mostly) look) this is going to rock.

Just one more thing

Will Yoda reappear as a force ghost? If so will he be puppet Yoda? If not, why not?

And that’s probably enough Star Wars for now.
