For an ice cave dream sequence, Blue Sky created a talking, photorealistic
penguin capable of delivering the surreal performance Fincher wanted,
while still looking completely real. In order to accommodate the visual
depth and complexity of the penguin's feathers, which were so dense and
heavy they actually behaved like fur, Blue Sky made advancements in its
software to create and render fur up to 30% faster than previously
possible. The studio also created breath and smoke effects to dramatize
the cold temperature of the ice cave.
5) From the DVD sleeve: "One cast member, however did require
persuasion. Frustrated in his search for the right person to play the
diabolical twin Ceniza brothers, the director turned to the film's Spansih
production manager, Jose Lopez Rodero, an industry veteran who began his
career as an assistant director for such filmmakers as Stanley Kubrick,
Joseph Mankiewicz and Nicholas Ray... Not only did Rodero play the Ceniza
brothers, he also acted as the two workmen seen renovating the shop at the
end of the film". If the director is Roman Polanski, name the movie.
## The Ninth Gate

9) Cloze Test: from a MTV interview with Cameron Crowe
While Stillwater, the band Fugit's character joins on the tour bus, is
fictional - modeled after Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Eagles, Zeppelin, and
especially the Allman Brothers Band - much of the story is based on
Crowe's own family life and experiences as a young rock writer. "The line
Billy Crudup [who plays Stillwater lead guitarist Russell Hammond] says to
William, 'Just make us look cool,' was actually said to me by
__________," Crowe said.
## Glenn Frey of The Eagles
