Discuss The 3-D Movie

Davis Plays Fantasy Moms

Kristin Davis (Sex and the City) tells SCI FI Wire that she has two movies coming up that involve fantasy, green screens and kids. "I had already been playing the mom in The Shaggy Dog, so this was really my second mom part," said Davis during interviews for her second fantasy film, The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D. "I'm happy and surprised that Disney wants me to play a mom. And it seems to be continuing so I feel very lucky that I've been able to kind of segue."
In Robert Rodriguez's Sharkboy, which opens June 10, Davis plays a mom married to a character played by David Arquette. Their son (Cayden Boyd) creates a fantasy world that comes to life. Davis said that filming Shaggy Dog, a remake of a classic Disney family film, prepared her for the mom role, but doing Sharkboy prepared her for green-screen acting and performing when there's nothing on the set.
"When we did the green screen for Robert, it was pretty much the first green screen I'd ever done," Davis said. She was able to take that knowledge back to Shaggy Dog when she went back to the Disney shoot with Tim Allen to complete green-screen effects with the title dog. "We shot Shaggy Dog for, like, five months, and we shot Sharkboy in the middle of it. I went back to do the green screen. Shaggy Dog will come out in 2006."
For Sharkboy, Davis also learned how to fly in a rig for a scene when she gets sucked up by a tornado. "I had to learn the flying," she said. "I'd never flown in a rig before. I had never worked with the green screen, and I'd certainly never worked in 3-D. But I was fascinated by the technical aspects of it, and the thing that's wonderful about Robert is that he is really on the forefront of the technical advances, but he sees them as a creative tool to tell stories, rather than that the technology is going to take over the film. So when we got there, he was just really careful to describe everything to us and help us with what we needed to think about. Like, right before I get taken by the tornado, and we have to fight our way through the wind. That was kind of hard! He's like, 'You have to shout over the wind. You have to make grunt noises!' And I'd be like, 'Grunt noises?' " She added: "There was nothing to look at! Nothing, nothing, nothing!"

for some reason this movie does not cause me to run to the theater and watch it.

it is not that great for me. it is one movie that i can actually wait for it's dvd release.

I've never been to a 3-D film.

first time i saw one my eyes hurt. but second time its okay now.

your eyes will hurt if can't learn to focus with the glasses on

the movie has nice 3-d effects. but the story is a so so

watching batman begins today as in 30 minutes from now.

My dad was forced to watch a 3-D movie against his will by his sister when they were kids. The original "Thirteen Ghosts" movie.

i wish we could have a modern day 3-d 13 ghost. that would rock :(

Or more horror films in 3-D.



THIS IS THE 18000TH POST!!!!!!!!!!!

*a little off topic*

say know any good site for 13 ghosts.

the one with tony shalloub? i am looking for the picture of the ghosts and can't find it

Let me check my DVD. Let's get back to topic for now.

the effects i like. but the story however does not impress me at all. i was really expecting more.

and since its a kid show the villain can't be killed . which kills it for me right there.

although linus has a weird costume.

I haven't seen the film. Please don't spoil it.

and your going to wait for the dvd right?

hey on the commercial. is it not weird the pop corn really seemed that it is being thrown by someone else.

Not sure. Had to wait until Spy Kids 3 was on video and I thought it was cool but I hope to see it in 3-D next time.

This movie doesn't really appeal to me. It'll probably be just a bunch of kids who don't know how to act, or who are given trashy scripts.
