![]() ![]() For starters, Renner is holding a handheld camera-no special effects can replace a human arm and hold something in place. It’s a cute bit that I have to believe was not CGI’ed. It’s very stupid! Mercifully, Tag does not have one of those brief montages instead, it’s just Jeremy Renner with a camera running through the hallway telling you to check out the trailer before Hamm and Helms tag him. There’s this annoying new trend in movie trailers where the trailer will play a five-second montage of footage before beginning the trailer-as if to sell you on watching the rest of the trailer after clicking the link. The only way to heal my madness is to give into it fully and examine Tag meticulously-shot-by-supposed-CGI-arm-shot. How extensive is the digital appendage-ment, really? What other camera tricks have been employed to gloss over Renner’s busted limbs? Will Renner’s CGI’ed arms derail Tag the same way that Henry Cavill’s eerily smooth, digitally brushed upper lip derailed Justice League? Hamlet once said that his mind was full of scorpions, and well, my mind is full of Jeremy Renner’s fake arms. ![]() It is now impossible to look at Tag and not feel beguiled by the arms that may or may not be Renner’s real arms. More importantly, now that I know about this bizarre injury-and the special effects that had to be used to cover it up-rewatching the Tag trailer I feel like Neo when he became privy to the code of the Matrix. The trailer for Tag was perfectly fine, if unspectacular.īut then Jon Hamm casually mentioned on Ellen last week that something happened to his costar Renner during filming that affected the entire production and final cut of the movie: He broke both of his arms on the third day of shooting and had to wear green casts that could be edited out of the majority of the film using CGI.įirst of all, as Hamm rightly points out, Renner has played a superhero in a major action movie franchise (Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in case you forgot, which maybe you did) for nearly a decade, but the movie he actually gets seriously injured filming is … about people tagging other people? Seriously? (I know it’s based on a true story, but that only makes it weirder.) Tag just looks like a run-of-the-mill summer comedy-the kind with a title that says exactly what it is-with a surprisingly good cast led by Jeremy Renner, Ed Helms, Hannibal Buress, Jake Johnson, Jon Hamm (?!), Rashida Jones, Leslie Bibb, Thomas Middleditch, and Lil Rel Howery. movie Tag-aside from the fact the premise is about a group of adult men who play a game of tag for one month every year. There was nothing particularly strange about the upcoming Warner Bros. Bernthal is a talented and tremendously fun actor, but whenever he’s in something now I’m acutely focused on his head and how often it might be massaged by his own hand. Contemplating killing Rick? Knead the cranium, Jon. ![]() Giving fatherly advice to Carl? Gotta rub that scalp. Have you ever watched something that at first seemed totally normal, but then someone pointed out a strange quirk, or a slight flaw about it, and from then on you weren’t able to look at it any other way? This happened for me in the early years of The Walking Dead, when a friend noted that Jon Bernthal really enjoys rubbing his head while acting.
