Check out these pictures from behind the scenes in Hollywood, and get a glimpse of how funny and ridiculous some actors look in their work environment when all the visual effects can't be seen and it's just them and the strange green screen

Niall Gooch 👍🇻🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🚅🏏✒ Nicholas Grossman Part of made reading Dahl so much fun when I was a kid was the underlying wry nastiness. It was a book for kids but not a “kids” book. You can’t sanitize his work and keep its impact. I fear they over corrected and did so poorly. Let Mick Herron take a crack at the Dahl project!

These films have been hailed as some of the most impeccable masterpieces ever created. If you've had the opportunity to watch any of them, you'll truly understand their astonishing brilliance.. 🎥🍿
