nypost.com ‘Rogue One’ proves stars don’t have to be alive to still be on the screen Kyle Smith The greatest special effect in “Rogue One” isn’t a planet being wiped out or the whizzing dogfights of the rebels’ X-wing fighters. What’s really breathtaking about the new “Star Wars” movie is the way its technical wizards […]

“I’m all for a prequel myself after seeing myself CGI-ed in the beginning of the movie, 30 years younger, which was incredible”. Douglas family affair for Ant-Man – BelfastTelegraph.co.uk Michael Douglas with wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, son Dylan and daughter Carys at the Ant-Man premiere Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas made the European premiere of Ant-Man a […]
“In Ant-Man’s opening scene, Michael Douglas’s Hank Pym strides into S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters to tender his resignation. Well, that’s not 100 percent right — it’s definitely Hank Pym, and it’s definitely S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, but it’s not quite Michael Douglas, at least as we know him in 2015. The scene takes place in 1989, and the Douglas […]
“Most of Pym’s history is explained in two relatively brief scenes (one of which shows a younger version of Douglas in perhaps the best onscreen de-aging we’ve ever seen), while an extended sequence halfway through the film features a surprise cameo that you’ve probably heard about by now”. http://www.denofgeek.us/movies/ant-man/247485/ant-man-review
“The most spectacular sight in Ant-Man comes at the very beginning. An official-looking meeting in a big expansive room, filled with faces we’ve seen from other Marvel movies, is suddenly joined by what must be a ghost. It’s Michael Douglas, but not the goateed, 70-year-old Michael Douglas cast in Ant-Man. It’s Michael Douglas from the […]
“When it got down to the first day of Lola calling up and saying ‘OK we’re gonna present our first shot’ – we always had notes on the shots and made them better, but that first one, which was still a work in progress, I almost, and actually may have, started crying that day saying […]
“The film cleverly inserts itself into the ongoing Marvel universe, including a prologue that contains the most remarkable de-aging of an actor I have ever seen. The scene features Michael Douglas aged back to his Black Rain days, and it’s jaw-dropping in its quality and its seamlessness. I don’t know how much the effects cost […]
“Kicking off with a 1989-set prologue starring a CG-de-aged Michael Douglas that clears the uncanny valley so comfortably it plants a flag in the opposite peak, Ant-Man wastes little time in introducing its leads”. http://theincrediblesuit.blogspot.com/2015/07/ant-man-film-review.html
“We open in a flashback to 1989, where scientist Henry Pym (Michael Douglas, digitally rejuvenated far more effectively than Jeff Bridges in “Tron: Legacy” and less waxily than Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Terminator Genisys”) leaves Stark Enterprises and takes his “Pym particle” with him after a nefarious executive (Martin Donovan) plans to weaponize it”. http://www.thewrap.com/ant-man-review-paul-rudd-michael-douglas-evangeline-lilly-mcu/
