You must be kind. Those responsible for the CGI did not have time and now, I don’t know, it is very adorable
“I know, I know, be nice about all this. The guys who did the CGI of the Scorpion King, at the movie premiere, they said, ‘hey, how are you, good job. You know, we did the effects for the Scorpion King. And they confessed to me that, ‘yes, we needed a little more time’“, he explained, in relation to the dates of the project and the release of the film in theaters. “But it was at the last moment, I don’t know. I think part of the charm of it all is that when you see it now, I suppose it could end up remastered, but it’s not as charming or fun. Especially when you get that character with Dwayne’s face doin’rawwwh‘” he continues. “I don’t know, in a way, it’s just perfect, the way things work”finished off.
