Gerald Menzel is the man behind the computer graphics - all the shots that are completely or mostly computer generated.
He built 3D models of the film locations, helped building them in real life, digitized them again and is now creating all shots, that we couldn't shoot on set: a car chase, a surreal sunrise, a superhuge motel sign and 50 others.
We will update the status right here.
