Where did this DAM photo come from?

Post by GodzFire »

Hey guys, this photo used to be my desktop wallpaper a long time back when 1024x768 was the norm. Now it's obviously way too small. I'm curious if anyone knows where this photo comes from and where I might be able to get a larger sized version of it:

I'm pretty sure it was just a promotional pic for the movie. Probably from some magazine or something similar.

^Almost positive it's a promotional pic. I've seen a few variations of the same shot, including one with the crew in the center:

Maybe that's why he's was MIA for so long.

Another reason why we appreciate the art of suit-acting.

It had to have been sheer hell working in those things between the heat, the stench (and probably some molds) from the years of sweat, the difficult body conditions, and the physicality of the acting. I really think if more people had any idea what it was like, the suit actors would get a lot more respect. At least I hope so.

Totally unrelated, but your username is the exact same as mine from Wikizilla!

That is a promotional shot for the movie in fact I am pretty sure that it is the cover art for my region 4 madman copy.

If you are using a version of windows, just right click on your desktop and select "Desktop background" in your properties tab and change the picture position option to "Stretch". That will make it a full screen image no matter what size your monitor might be.
