Tom Hardy’s Venom Will Be Performance Captured, Says Andy Serkis
Tom Hardy's performance as Venom in the upcoming Spider-Man spinoff will reportedly be done through performance capture, according to an actor well-versed in the field.
Andy Serkis, speaking with Yahoo! UK about his performance capture work, said Hardy is using the technology for a role.
"Acting is acting, and the more actors – like Steve Zahn… and Karin Konoval who plays Maurice in War For The Planet of the Apes – the more A-list actors that come on board, like Mark Rylance playing The BFG, or a lot of actors in the new Marvel films… Tom Hardy is playing a new character using performance capture," Serkis told Yahoo.
Rick and Morty Killed a Character in an Old Spice Ad
Rick and Morty killed off a beloved side character, but you wouldn't have noticed it in the show, as the death happened in an ad.
In a bit of sponsored content to promote Old Spice, the character of Butter Bot meets its untimely demise in an Old Spice ad.
During the commercial, Rick bursts into Morty's bedroom to "sell out" by promoting Old Spice deodorant spray. Large sentient cans of Old Spice start trashing Morty's room, and one of them picks up Butter Bot and throws it into the mouth of another can. Meanwhile, Rick blithely counts the cash he made for shilling Old Spice.
The Adult Swim show from Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland has never been conventional, and that certainly is the case here. For those who aren't familiar with Butter Bot, it first appeared in the cold open of the season two episode "Something Ricked This Way Comes."

GoT Star Says Unaired Pilot ‘Made a Lot of Mistakes’
Jon Snow himself Kit Harington has some shed light on why Game of Thrones' unaired pilot had to be entirely re-shot.
In an interview with The Guardian, Harington said the pilot, which featured several different actors in some of the main roles, had to be scrapped because it did not quite nail the tone and feel of George R. R. Martin's fantasy novels.
"They made a lot of mistakes. It didn’t look right, didn’t feel right, had nothing different about it," Harington said. According to the actor, Jon Snow was clean-shaven at first, and Harington had to wear a wig.
