The film stars Robert Downey, Jr. and was directed by weapons and rumble film maker pro Guy Ritchie.
"This was a completely CG project for us, everything was done on green screen." says The Mill producer Christina Thompson. "Before starting we also did extensive previs to ensure the film would look like one continuous move. We then had a team of 52 people, including a CG team of 34 artists collaborating together to achieve the look Guy wanted."
With a rocking AC/DC soundtrack, how many surprises can you count?
