News Brent Spiner Returned for "Picard" (and you could do the CGI better in 15 minutes, we get it)

WHAT THE %$&# IS THIS?!?!! O_O

Sorry... that's the first I ever saw this. I never bothered to watch the X-Men this was in. So you just got to see my reaction in real time.
They got a bit better with de-aging in latter movies:

You can't put a finished effect in the trailer if the effect isn't finished. Movies/TV this big often have the final versions of effects rolling in the very last weeks (sometimes even days) before release.
I remember reading a story about one of the big summer blockbusters where they were still working on the CGI effect just a few days before it was supposed to come out.
At the end of the day, yes it is obvious he's a much older man playing his 30something self. You either suspend disbelief and roll with it, or all is ruined.

I'm gonna suspend disbelief.
As much as I'm talking about this, I can almost guarantee it's not going to bother me once I'm watching the actual show. It's just easier to focus on these kind of little nitpicks in a short trailer, where I'm focused as I am during the actual show.
The last time I can remember dreaming about High School, I think it involved half the football team chasing me with nothing but their pads on and that was while I was still in High School.
I can't remember if I let them catch me or not.
:rofl:
The last dream I had involving my high school, I was hiding from zombies in the gym with a blond woman I seemed to know, and we were trying to convince a group of strangers to let us join them.

It's by and large a great photoshop but it does look like his head is almost floating on the body, which seems slightly misproportioned... that and it looks like he just ate a partially decomposed banana while watching a daytime emmy-winning episode of "Barney the Dinosaur".
 
Unless it's actually a flashback in a dream. Maybe Data came down to do some painting back when Picard came home in Family?
 
Uh..why would they de-age him? Picard is supposed to be in his 90s in this..20 years older then Stewart...
Uh......Why do you take it so seriously? it's a damn Joke! golden opportunity to see what he might look like as a De-aged Picard, no one said anything about doing it for the actual show
 
That was a waste of time... why make a recut that is basically the same thing?

Because it’s basically the same thing, improved by an experienced VFX artist who worked on much of Star Trek? If the makeup isn’t ready for prime time, if it looks like a Hulk-to-Banner transformation stage from Season 1, just cut it down to a tease; no need to rush anything.
