If you think about it, making a film is such a huge, multilayered creative endeavor that it’s totally possible to generate enough drama to make another movie. For example, Tommy Wiseau’s “The Room,” which spawned “The Disaster Artist.” Similarly, superfans of one film or another can often find interesting details and stories when exploring what goes on behind the scenes.
So the "Movies In The Making" internet group exists to share all the interesting behind-the-scenes footage and stories of our favorite films. So get comfortable, upvote your favorite pics, and share your thoughts in the comments below.

The Fifth Element (1997) - The Amazing Miniature Work Behind The New York Cityscape Of The Movie
Maybe it's just me, because I'm getting old, but I like this so much more than all the CGI in movies today. It feels like everything somehow has more substance. I recently watched the old neverending story movies with all the puppets and I was just in awe of what they were able to do without CGI.

A Terrific Foreground Miniature By Spanish Effects Maestro Emilio Ruiz Del Río For Conan The Destroyer (1984)
Just as good as CGI for presumably a fraction of the price. Though if you can make stuff like this look this good, you deserve to be paid very well.

Good lord. No DNA test needed to know that it's definitely Mark Hamill's boy.
Men In Black (1997) Never Realized The Small Animatronic Alien Inside The Human Head Was That Large!
Steven Spielberg Was So Scared Of The Rope Bridge In Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom (1984)
He'd have to drive a mile and half to get to the other side. Harrison Ford on the other hand wasn't scared and ran across the bridge as fast as possible the first time he saw it.

James Gunn Directing Stan Lee's Doctor Strange Cameo
"Stan was getting older & only able to come to Atlanta for a few days so I, with the blessing of the directors involved, directed a few cameos in one day. I loved him."
I only spoke to him pretty briefly, but he was such a sweet guy. I was so crushed when I heard he had died.

The Tiger From ‘Life Of Pi’ Before And After Cgi
So sad the movie studio killed the cgi studio that created the effects by simply not paying them until the went bust.
The Director Of Photography ( On The Matrix) Hid Him Self Using A Coat With A Tie Matching The One Morpheus Was Wearing, Trying To Blend In As Much As Possible
Always thought that was cool. The effect certainly worked live action in the theater. I do remember it drew a moment of “what the?” However, the entire movie was so incredibly novel and captivating that little quirks that the mind perceived were quickly swept aside to embrace each new scene and image. A masterwork of “suspend the disbelief.”

Pierce Brosnan And Sean Bean Filming 006's Death Scene In Goldeneye
Ryan Gosling Gained 60 Pounds By Drinking Melted Ice-Cream To Play The Father In Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones
He was then told he was too fat too play the part and the role went to Mark Wahlberg.
Was he told to gain 60 pounds for the role? If so this seems a bit ridiculous.
