Wired  

Martin Scorsese needed a favor. “He’s a very curious person, and he said to me, ‘Talk to me about that,’” Helman says, reflecting on that first meeting in one of ILM’s San Francisco offices overlooking the Presidio. “We were shooting the next morning,” Helman recalls, “and I said, ‘I’m in.’” What he was in for was a four-year quest to reinvent the way Hollywood makes its stars act their age. If you can find a way to lessen the technical aspects of it, it could work.’” It was a huge hurdle, but one Helman was pretty sure he could jump. If Helman could make the actor, then in his early seventies, look the way he did 25 years earlier as Jimmy Conway, then ILM could pull off de-aging the film’s principal cast.
