I was watching a recent VFX Artists React and they were talking about a shot of an explosion from the trailer of The Creator. Apparently they used video of the Beirut explosion and comped CGI elements over it. Thoughts? Is this ethically or morally wrong? Does it make you rethink seeing the movie?
The big question for me is, was this taken from the film or something just put together quickly for marketing purposes?
I remember Gareth Edwards other film, Rogue One, where marketing created that shot of a tie fighter confronting Jynn on the satellite dish platform. It was never intended to be in the film.
