People Are Stunned By Alan Cumming's Honest Description Of What It's Like Filming A Marvel Movie Nowadays
Marvel hasn't been having the smoothest run with its latest phases. Given that Jonathan Majors was set to lead the new era, only to be dropped after his assault conviction, one can understand why there might be trepidation about the upcoming mega-blockbuster Avengers: Doomsday. Robert Downey Jr. is set to play Victor Von Doom in a deal likely as valuable as the GDP of a small nation, but he's not the only one returning to the superhero world. Alan Cumming will be reprising his role as Nightcrawler, who he last played in the X-Men sequel X2. All of this to say that Alan's recent comments to Gold Derby about his on-set experience are raising some eyebrows. Having recently wrapped, he told the publication, "I did the entire film in isolation. Lots of green screen, face replacement. They even gave characters fake names." "I don't know who I was acting with half the time,' he added. 'I broke the internet by mentioning something once, but honestly, I might have got it wrong.' The quotes quickly made the rounds, with some passing judgement on the likely result of such isolation and secret-keeping: Some brought up Ian McKellen, who previously admitted that he cried on the set of The Hobbit due to the use of green screen. 'In order to shoot the dwarves and a large Gandalf, we couldn't be in the same set. All I had for company was 13 photographs of the dwarves on top of stands with little lights – whoever's talking flashes up,' he said. 'I cried, actually. I cried. Then I said out loud, 'This is not why I became an actor.'" Incidentally, Ian will also be reprising his X-Men role in Avengers: Doomsday. It is worth noting that Alan also recently gave an interview to People in which he said of the experience, "I just came back. It was amazing. It was actually really... in a sort of ooey, gooey way, it was really healing and really nice to go back to something that it was a terrible experience when I did it the first time...A great film, great film. I love the film." He also suggested that his schedule on The Traitors was the reason for his isolation, saying, "I got it done really quickly because I couldn't go, because of The Traitors, when most of my scenes were being I squashed them all together, and got a green screen and various things and little scenes of people here and there. But it was pretty stealthy." What do you make of the whole thing? LMK in the comments! Do you love all things TV and movies?

Watch Stephen King and Takashi Miike Celebrate the Glorious Gore of ‘Texas Chain Saw Massacre'
'Every frame has something unnerving in it,' Patton Oswalt says in the trailer for Chain Reactions—a new documentary about the enduring influence and impact of 1974's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Tobe Hooper's grisly classic has often been imitated and has spawned some regrettable sequels and remakes, but the original remains a uniquely terrifying product of a very specific time and place, not just in pop culture, but also in the realms of independent cinema. A new trailer for Chain Reactions is here, and it gives you a good idea of how it's structured, focusing on five Texas Chain Saw fans in particular. Along with Oswalt, there's Stephen King, Takashi Miike (director of Audition and Ichi the Killer), horror scholar Alexandra Heller-Nichols, and Karyn Kusama (director of Jennifer's Body). As Texas Chain Saw's creepy hitchhiker might say, 'A whole family of Draculas!' It's helmed by Alexandre O. Philippe, whose other films-on-film include Doc of the Dead, Psycho study 78:52, Memory: The Origins of Alien, and Lynch/Oz. 'I think of it as a role model,' Miike muses, noting he first watched Texas Chain Saw at 15 and realized what he wanted his future career path to be. With the IP's rights holders making headlines recently—teasing all the big names in the running to make another version of Hooper's tale—it seems we may see yet another version on screens eventually. Still, as Chain Reactions will no doubt make crystal clear, there's no duplicating the eerie, gritty quality that makes the original such a standout. Anyone can make a movie about a cannibal family running a roadside barbecue joint; anyone can don a human-skin mask, grab a chainsaw, and call themselves Leatherface. But it takes a rare film to infuse a story like that with such a documentary feel; it makes the audience think they're peeping in on a nightmare that's both awful and totally plausible. It's also visceral as hell: you can practically smell the rotting interior of that iconic farmhouse and feel the drop of Grandpa's shaky hammer come down on your own skull. In other words, we're more than excited to see this documentary—and then rewatch The Texas Chain Saw Massacre again. And again. Chain Reactions opens in New York and Los Angeles September 19; according to Deadline, it will expand to more cities September 26. Want more io9 news?
