    Vitamin D seems to be the big one, doesn’t it @talos7 ? Didn’t they do studies in your neck of the woods where they found an astonishing 88+% in ICU were Vit D deficient?

    I hope you get a big thumbs up for being a First Responder!!

    Yes, kudos to you @talos7 !

    And I've heard the same thing re: Vitamin D as a potential indicator, at least correlated somewhat with COVID's impact on patient outcomes. Basically anything you can do to be improving your overall health and immune system function is good.

    I was scrolling through NTTDs IMDB-page and noticed this under Visual Effects cred:

    Jarrod Anderson ... creature technical director
    Claudia Fugazzotto ... Lead Creature TD
    Anand Kambli ... creature td: Double Negative London
    Rudy Massar ... senior creature modeller: Industrial Light & Magic
    Nick van Diem ... lead creature td: Industrial Light & Magic
    Erica Vigilante ... CG Creature Supervisor: DNEG London


    The only creatures I can think of would be those in the water tanks in Safins lab. Any other ideas?

    Creature TD
    Creature TDs build the software that enables artists to create believable fur, feathers and skin on their creatures. They develop and program the digital tools for all the artists who work on digital dinosaurs, animals or magnificent beasts, helping them to be as efficient as possible. They then work with pipeline TDs to incorporate the tools into a VFX production pipeline.

    The scope of the creature TD role varies depending on the size of the studio. In some studios, the role includes rigging, which involves creating systems of skeletons and muscles which are then used by an animator as the basis for the creature’s movements. In larger studios, the role of creature TD is focussed on creating the fur, hair, feathers, skin. The goal is the same, to make sure the effects look convincing and blend seamlessly with the other VFX and live-action components of the film or TV programme.

    Mayhaps it has something to do with the rumored clone plot?

    Mmm… I think we’re overthinking it. The mouse in Spectre was completely CGI. In this film we’re meeting Q’s cats. Could they be partially CGI as well?!

    Or maybe something completely different. We have Bond in a forest location for example; maybe there are some deers running around or something. In the interview by VG earlier this year, Prop Master Ben Wilkinson specifically mentioned they had some fake fishes made (they were never used).

    @peter and @AgentM72 Yes, If you look into vitamin D, particularly D3, it is a remarkable that has countless benefits; and absolutely there is a strong correlation to outcome in relation to a patients vitamin D levels.

    There are no miracles but there are many things we can do to move forward.

    I think it would make sense for them to CGI the sheep in Matera - if they’re meant to abruptly disrupt the chase.

    More likely Rami Malek's appearance which may change throughout the film.
    In the scene by the frozen lake he is showing signs of deterioration; in later scenes he looks rejuvenated.

    Yes, that would be very likely. Had forgot all about them.

As of this week I've taken multiple COVID tests, including two anti-body test; all have been negative.
    I plan on being in the theater on the first night. Its one thing to be cautious, it's another to be petrified. the world cannot wait for a vaccine in order to restore some degree of normalcy.
    From numerous doctors that I've talked to, as well as experience, my advice, wash or disinfect your hands frequently, do not touch your face ; that was a hard one. wear a mask if you choose and live a healthy lifestyle to keep you immune system strong. Vitamin D3 , ZINC and C are supplements that have shown effectiveness.
    I'm happy to see my city coming back to life and I'm looking forward to seeing NTTD , in a theater this November.

    Well said. I agree with all of this.

    Done with theaters after all this and all the new online and demand digital services /libraries make it so much better to watch movies and content in your own home. Wish they would have released the film already as online digital release. Universal is right for doing it with some of their new stuff. Go glad drive ins are making a comeback also and some with outdoor seating and cooling and heating areas. Not ever getting cramped up in a dark theater ever again especially with all the phone idiots these days also.....

    @Contraband I thought maybe they would use CGI for part of the sequence that’s too dangerous for the real sheep?

    I have several clips from a distance showing the AM breaks just one feet away from the sheep, and then puts it in a reverse.. and chase con't. I don't think they are gonna use any CGI in these sheep scenes. But then again, I could be wrong.

    BTW: Rally master/stunt driver Mark Higgins in the AM

    This would be very cool, if it ended up being the reason they needed these kind of effects.

    Regarding creatures it's still a possibility Craig Bond will question one of the sheep.

    Pure conjecture. 'insider source' aka 99% bullshit. Much like the rumored Jinx and Wai Lin spinoffs of old, will ultimately result in nothing.

    Still, imagine if there was something like this. Bond's daughter, also a spy, either working with Bond sometime, being consulted by him. Or to go another route, Bond turns and Mathilde is the one who has to ultimately take him down, a la the plotline of the original MSX Metal Gear games. Conflicts galore to be explored.

    Fun to think about, but otherwise hell no.

    So do I.

    On a side note, I seem to recall that some said that having to wear a mask inside the movie theatre would dissuade people from going. Here in Italy masks are now officially not mandatory in movie theatres.

    14 years later....still waiting.
