Famous actor Hugo Weaving – well known for his role as Agent Smith as well as Elrond from the ‘Lord of the Rings’ movies – had numerous duplicate faces made for other actors to portray him, since Agent Smith gains the ability to turn other people into copies of himself. Plenty were needed, and while CGI did help with the process, a few rubber heads were made to make the process easier.
This picture shows just how detailed the process was, able to replicate Agent Smith down to an exact science, just like in the movie itself.
Time for Some Tunes
When Dunst wasn't sashaying around in huge ball gowns and heavy hairdos, she and actor Jason Schwartzman, who played Louis XVI, sat around and listened to music, despite being surrounded by crew, amazing sets, and beautiful artwork.
Everybody needs some relaxation, and going for a jog between shots certainly wasn't in the cards, thanks to the aforementioned heavy outfits, as well as the pristine makeup and styles the actress was dutied to maintain. Sitting and listening to some music seems like the kind of thing the real Antoinette got up to, though she probably brought in actual musicians.
Mr. Anderson
How could you forget 'The Matrix'? As Neo begins to realize what his world is really like, and how powerful the machines truly are, the viewers are treated to incredible shots with an amazing mix of CGI and stunt work.
One of the most famous scenes in the entire series is near the end of the third movie – though the movie is thought to be lesser than the earlier two – when the machine world, now full of nothing but rogue Agent Smiths, turns itself against the savior Neo, and an incredible fight in the rain takes place.
Freddy's Ready for You
The eighties were a treasure trove of slasher films for the horror movie fan, and few were more well known than the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' series. The iconic villain, nightmare creature Freddy Krueger, wields his sharp glove and sneaks into the dreams of the kids on Elm Street, with a classic burned face, striped sweater, dowdy brown hat, and bone-chilling rhyme.
If you're looking for some scares this Halloween, this movie series is sure to deliver, and you'll even see some familiar faces – the first movie was Johnny Depp's first big role. But the real draw here is Freddy.
Aw, He's Not So Bad
While the Freddy in the movies was the deadliest thing the cast had ever come across, haunting them on and off throughout an entire series and killing plenty of them, in real life they were all actors and professionals. Freddy Krueger's actor, Robert Englund, was reportedly scared even of himself – he's reported that his iconic character gives him nightmares.
As this image shows, even in his famous frightening look, Englund was well-liked by the rest of the cast. He probably enjoyed the positive attention, even as he was getting used to him being an icon of fear.
