Chris Evans had no double in portraying skinny Steve Rogers in 'Captain America'

Chris Evans did not have a body double in his role portrayal of the short and skinny Steve Rogers in the new superhero film "Captain America: The First Avenger", director Joe Johnston had revealed.

Someone was actually hired at first to be Evans' double. The plan was to superimpose Evans' face onto the double's. However, the technique did not work since the actor hired could not mimic Evan's body movements.

“Chris moves in such a unique way; he doesn’t move like anybody else. The body double could not move like him. As hard as he tried to watch Chris and duplicate the movements, it just wasn’t the same,” Joe Johnston told Reuters.

So how did hunk actor Chris Evans become skinny in the movie?

The film creators reportedly used a "shrinking" technique and the power of computers to delete portions of Evans' strong physique on screen.

"We filmed over 250 shots of Chris and used digital technology to 'shrink' him down to what we called 'Skinny Steve,'"Johnston said.

Evans was also amazed in the technique.

"It's pretty amazing. They took shape out of my jaw line, they shrunk my skeleton and they made my shoulders less broad," he said.

While it may sound easy, it wasn't.

The Reuters report added that "each time Evans' body went through the digital nips and tucks, it created empty space in the background which needed to be filled in. Multiple shots had to be filmed with green screens just to superimpose the scenery that would normally have been there had bulky Evans really been little, scrappy Steve Rogers."

"It was a very arduous process," said Johnston. "It took all of pre-production and most of production to do all 250 shots."

"Captain America: The First Avenger" premiered in several theaters in the country, yesterday. Check out its trailer HERE.

Wow! I'm wondering what the twists are in this movie. This looks not typical fairy tale at all. I can't wait for the trailer and the movie itself. :D

Following the movie's panel at Comic Con 2011, the photos above were posted on the official Facebook fan page of "Snow White and the Huntsman." On the page, Universal Pictures previously announced that June 1, 2012 will be the release date of the movie. Here's the said announcement:

UNIVERSAL CITY, CA, May 15, 2011 – Universal Pictures announced today that its epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman will make a bold move into the early summer movie season with its new release date of June 1, 2012. The much anticipated film stars Twilight’s Kristen Stewart, Academy Award® winner Charlize Theron, Thor’s Chris Hemsworth and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ Sam Claflin.

This breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale from Joe Roth, the producer of Alice in Wonderland, and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders (Halo 3 campaign) had originally been set for release in late December of next year. With adjustments to the production timeline, however, the film will now be ready for a summer 2012 release date.

In Snow White and the Huntsman, Stewart plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Theron) who is out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the one girl threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Hemsworth) who was dispatched to kill her. Claflin plays the prince long enchanted by Snow White's beauty and power.

“As Rupert and Joe were finalizing casting and preproduction of Snow White and the Huntsman, we realized that the ambitious and fully-formed world they had promised was blowing away all expectations,” said Universal Chairman Adam Fogelson and Co-Chairman Donna Langley in a joint statement. “We’re thrilled that Universal will be bringing this singular version of a timeless story almost seven months earlier than anticipated.”

Temptation Island of 1980 (Video)

The "Temptation Island" 2011 remake which star-studded premier night was successfully held last July 3rd, will finally open in theaters nationwide on July 6th.

If you intend to watch the movie, it would be a good idea I guess to take a look of the original "Temptation Island" of 1980 through the video and some info below so that you can somehow compare the new one and appreciate it more:

Temptation Island (1980) | Video courtesy of "purrfani"

For someone like me who was not yet born in 1980, the clip above helped me understand the commotion about the the remake since the original movie is really hilarious and somewhat naughty. Would the new one be more funny and daring? The video also got me excited on how it would be like in the new version especially that we have better technology these days.

Meanwhile, here are some bits of information of the original Temptation Island:

* It was released on July 4, 1980 by Regal Films
* It was directed by Joey Gosiengfiao and written by Toto Belano
* It was top-billed by four beauty pageant holders: Azenith Briones (Miss Photogenic, Mutya ng Pilipinas 1975), Jennifer Cortez (Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 1978), Bambi Arambulo (Miss Maja Pilipinas 1977) and Dina Bonnevie (1st Runner-up, Miss Magnolia 1979).
* Among the lead stars, only Dina Bonnevie made it big in the Showbiz industry.
* It has the plot below:

The film focuses on four young ladies from different social backgrounds and each for their own various reasons, enlists in the fictional "Miss Manila Sunshine Beauty Pageant".

The first of which is Dina (Bonnevie), a college student who entered the contest in order to earn independence from her family. Next is spoiled, rich socialite, Suzanne (Cortez), whose every whim is attended to by her maid, Maria (Sun), learned of the contest when fliers dropped from a helicopter interrupts her sunbathing at the family pool and out of sheer vanity decided to sign up. Thirdly, Bambi (Arambulo), while planning her 18th birthday party, when she and her mother argue over the budget, since her once rich family cannot afford the grand debut, Bambi is forced to settle for a much simpler party. But during their argument, Bambi falls on her birthday cake; when sees the pageant's TV spot, her frustrations over her current situation inspires her to join. Rounding up the group is Azenith (Briones) a con-artist who plans to rig the contest by using her and her boyfriend's sexuality to influence the judges into voting for her.

The ladies later became the finalists for the competition. En route to the evening gown competition, the ship they boarded catches fire, and the passengers scramble to evacuate. The four women, Maria, Joshua (the gay pageant coordinator played by Jonas Sebastian) and his boyfriend Ricardo (Ricky Belmonte), Umberto (one of the ship's waiters played by Domingo Sabado) and Alfredo (played by Alfie Anido) land on a desert island

Also check out a review of the movie below by "gonzagaext":

"Temptation Island" is easily one of the funniest, wittiest Filipino films I've seen. Filipino humor, in film at least, automatically means slapstick so to see witty humor by itself is a big deal, much less one done well. Dina Bonnevie, Azenith Briones, and Bambi Arambulo deliciously play catfighting beauty queens ultimately ending up fighting for their survival in, oh yes, baby … Temptation Island! Don't ask how the heck beauty queens end up in a deserted island, just enjoy this deliberately silly early 80's film featuring a very young Dina Bonnevie, still very much active in Philippine cinema and approaching icon status, and her future "love team" partner the late Alfie Anido. The hilarious crowd is completed by two studly studs, including the late Filipino male sex symbol Ricky Belmonte, a highly stereotypical tragicomic screaming queen, and the Filipino film staple, the oppressed house maid (played by actress Debraliz?). Directed by gay fixture Joey Gosiengfiao, the film is definitely not without its faults but it's fun while it lasts. No DVD copies exist as far as I know so good luck finding a decent VHS copy.

Original cast Deborah Sun and Azenith Briones were reported to be appearing on the remake. For more info about "Temptation Island" 2011, you can read the following:
