Ok, so a few days ago I spout some heavy praise for The Children of Men. More than anything, it is the film's incredible long takes that really amaze me, and thankfully reader Daniel K. brought this Making of The Children of Men to attention. In this seven minute video, director Alfonso Cuarón goes into some depth discussing the challenge of accomplishing a couple of these dauntingly technical shots, and one great segment highlights the custom mobile rig the team developed to get a several minute-long shot from inside of a moving vehicle during a dangerous car chase scene. (Finally, I can sleep at night knowing how they did it...) Crazy stuff. Very informative video. Recommended viewing!Video Watch: The making of 'The Children of Men'

(Page 1)2. Yeah, this is explained in the Empire of Dreams documentary. Apparently the studio was begging for a Christmas-time trailer, and so Lucas threw this together 6-8 months before the movie was ready. Most of the visual and sound effects weren't close to being finished at this point.

1. So is the car CGd at the end when they get out to see the 2 dead cops? Or did they move the rigged car out of the way and quickly pull up another car?
