10 CGI Scenes So Good You Think They're Real

2. The "Winklevi" - The Social Network

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DP2DW2c5po Another killer CGI flourish from David Fincher occurs unexpectedly in his marvelous, Best Picture-nominated drama The Social Network, in which Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg finds himself squaring off against privileged, identical twins, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. Watching the film, one simply presumes that Fincher cast a pair of identical twins for the role, as logic dictates, but he didn€™t do anything quite so simple€ Rather, Armie Hammer is, in fact, not part of a double-act; instead, poor Josh Pence played one twin while Armie played the other, and CGI was used to replace Pence€™s face with Hammer€™s. Though the performance seems to justify this drastic move, it again still seems like a massive gamble, when countless twin actors could have been plucked out of obscurity for the role. A mad, mad bout of brilliance from David Fincher.
