Space may be the final frontier, but it's made in a Hollywood basement.

And Cobain, can you hear the spheres singing songs off Station To Station?
And Alderaan's not far away, it's Californication

They're filming a version in space, but in one day in space is like a dozen years on Earth so it won't be done until 2187.

Well at least that one made sense from a financial point of view. Usually scenes in the Moon or even Mars would be cheaper to film on site.

any sources to back that claim?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's a common joke because the average budget of a sci-fi blockbuster is higher than a typical space mission.

Of course that's comparing apple's to oranges at several levels, but that's why it's a joke, otherwise Hollywood would have it's own space program.

Hold up, TARS was a animatronic!? That's so cool, I thought it was full CGI.

Edit- Actually I think it was CASE that landed on Miller with them, oop

Here's some behind-the-scenes about them https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7xe84b

It was manually puppeted most of the time rather than being animatronic, but obviously with all the things that TARS and CASE can do they had to build different props for each one

Awesome thanks for sharing. This movie was a master class.

Tars is real, and he loves you

Nolan really phoning it in. Didn't even go to another planet?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Capricorn One was ahead of its time, the whole movie was about the Mars landing being filmed on Earth… completely filmed on Earth.

[–] FourPacketsOfPeanuts 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

wait.. TARS was an in camera model? what?!

[–] Sterile_Technique 6 points 3 days ago

Bullshit. Remember the waves? Like Earth could pull anything like that off.

[–] rdri 6 points 3 days ago

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

ffs not even sure why I bother anymore it’s all a lie

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

I have such a hard time getting used to "positive anymore"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Not even disappointed at this point tbh

[–] ivanafterall 2 points 3 days ago

Is this the newest bullshit from the "moon landing was filmed on a Hollywood set" crowd? How'd they make his kids age without relativistic effects from a black hole, geniuses? Science is your friend, no need to fear it.
