Apr 17 2009 From the Set of 'Tintin': Actors in Motion Capture Suits
Empire has been on location on the set of Steven Spielberg's chapter of the Tintin trilogy, The Secret of the Unicorn, where the magazine took the above shot of actors Jamie Bell and Andy Serkis motion-capturing their respective parts as Tintin and Captain Haddock.

Well done, Gollum.

Jan 18 2008 'Defiance' Trailer, Starring James Bond
It's like Jakob the Liar, only without the hilarious antics of Robin Williams, and still with Liev Schreiber for some reason. Also, the construction of a primitive forest society may tempt you compare aspects to Return of the Jedi's forest moon of Endor, but you'll regret that once you realize how bad you feel having marginalized the Holocaust's victims to the same level as Ewoks.
