I have seen TM:TSOJOA a couple of days ago. Then I saw the scoop in your news update and thought I'd like to add to it. The special effects are used when having wide shots of the english and their defense posts. It does look real though I saw it was CGI. But a good job it was indeed. Another thing about the movie are the battles between the french army the english army. They are SPR-like and are very violent, though I enjoyed watching them since they looked so very real.

Joan of Arc Special Effects - Not much has been said about special effects for this film but a French Effects company called Duboi has had their hand in part of the post production for JOA. It is not known at this time what they did for the film but I am sure it will be amazing. These were the same guys who did SFX for the film Alien IV!

UKRANIAN ubermodel Milla Jovovich and French director Luc Besson have separated after less than two years of marriage. And, according to the Orange County Register, the pair, who met on the set of The Fifth Element, plan to divorce soon. A spokesman for the couple attributes the break-down in communication to their cross-continental lifestyle and insists that, despite the split, the two will remain "close friends and collaborators". Let's hope so: Milla, who made her first cover at the tender age of 11 when Richard Avedon shot her for Mademoiselle, is to play the title role in Besson's latest film, Joan of Arc. Things could get heated.
