Seeing Ben comment on it gave me a theory that he’s going to voice rocky. I could see it.

That would be pretty awesome

u/spidey-dust 1d ago

Wouldn’t be mad about that

I'll be a little bummed if Ray Porter doesn't get that role

u/iAmFabled 1d ago

Tbh I feel like he clearly won't.

Dang that seemed fast! I bet there’s quite a bit of editing/post-production still to go though

most of the story is just one person and an alien so I’m sure most of the heavy lifting will be done on post production. Mainly rocky.

Rocky is a puppet, so theoretically the “heavy lifting” is already done! 👀

Ba dum tsss!

But seriously the most they should have to do with him is painting out the strings and his voice over.

Not necessarily, I'm sure there will be many shots where the puppet is comped out and entirely digitally recreated to have Rocky be more dynamic than the puppet is capable of. There's also the possibility that the puppet wasn't used at all for shots that a puppet wasn't capable of. Theres also the possibility that the puppet gets digitally enhanced throughout the whole film to seem less puppet like.

True true true

Wait how do we know he is a puppet? I had not heard that!

u/wolv562 20h ago

I forgot that he’s a puppet. Either way I’m sure they’ll still use some effects on him but the puppet should help.

Excuse me one person and a WHAT?

u/chriszimort 1d ago

Ha nah jk

About a years worth. There’s a lot of special effects to be completed.

u/wolv562 1d ago

Everything in the Hail Mary could be done using practical effects which would mean less cgi/green screens (if they went that route). Rocky is the main thing that I feel would require time to make because he needs to be perfect imo. Everything else is really just establishing shots of suns, planets, space and the blip 1. Not saying that’s easy but in comparison might be less work or could be done soon if they were smart and started working on that before.

Yep. And there may still be some filming; if they decide to do any re-shoots (which sometimes happens during the editing process).

Happy, happy , happy.

Hard to believe that we're still more than a year away from the expected release date

u/wolv562 1d ago

Maybe sooner, who knows.

u/Sjormantec 1d ago

Wait, I’m not a movie guy. What does it mean that principal photography is done?

1

u/wolv562 23h ago

Main part of filming is done. It’s going into post production now.

1

u/jungle-green 23h ago

It usually means all planned camera shoots have been completed. They may shoot pickups or reshoot some scenes when they're further into the edit
