It's been apparent for quite a while that she's not looking her best anymore, but it's taken the Wanted trailer to really put it in perspective. It made her...skin look normal, even sickly, and her weight loss very apparent. Things that weren't so visible in her recent movies.

Looking at that trailer I get the impression that it's only had mild color work done on it.

And there is a LOT of noise even in semi-shadow areas, really approaching midtones. The general feel was that of a production that was not very careful with light levels.

Very blown-out highlights in a day scene with people toting guns on roofs (talk about ridiculously edited trailers: voice over - "bla bla assasins", cue for quick two shot of people loading up on guns, cue for me to feel queasy).

I've seen much better footage shot on the RED. There's one short clip of a motorbike shot at night through a tunnel. I doubt they used extra lights there (on the other hand, tunnels do tend to be bright places), and it had no noise (and a similar feel to the metal surfaces as the Wanted trailer).

P.S: I watched this in 720P, so there should have been no issues with that
 
Instead of bashing anyone right off the bat, you should do some research.

It's been posted, by the VFX SUPER of Wanted, what was shot with the RED. Guess what. What you're referring to from the trailer was shot on film, not the RED. Search the forum and see for yourself. And then post your apology to the RED Team.

Welcome to Reduser BTW.

Sometimes now and then these strange posts appear.

Typical description: 1. Bad attitude, rude and bashing. 2. Unknown poster. 3. Have done only up to 5 posts maximum.

Can it be a coincidence by chance - don't think so....

Uhm...I'm not bashing the RED.

I clearly mentioned that I've seen RED footage shot in similar conditions, which looked perfect (as in, no noise).

The title is sarcasm. It's not targeted at the RED. It's about the illusions that film gives birth to. I've never seen Angelina Jolie look like that. It's simply different in 4k.

I believe if there was any bashing going on, it was directed towards the production team. I want to know how they managed to misuse the RED in order to get those shots. At least two of them I am sure they were shot on it, outside night car-chase scenes, because of the look of the metal on the cars.

Which parts do you not follow?
 
Is "Hey Red, thanks for making Angelina Jolie look ugly" not bashing?
 
It's not.

It did not make Angelina Jolie look ugly because of lack of resolution, or sharpness, or poor color rendering, or anything that relates to a camera's performance.

It made Angelina Jolie look ugly in comparison to what she has looked like until now.

And it did that because of its qualities of sharpness and resolution and color.
 
Essor, you're probably wrong about those shots you think were shot on RED. Do a search for Wanted and read the threads. RED was tested on the shoot.

And I seriously doubt anyone could spot RED footage on the screen, let alone in a trailer!
 
Maybe your german-influenced english does not pick up non-mechanical subtleties.

Then my post becomes "crappy night-time lighting. in other news, angelina jolie has aged tremendously"

In other other news, there is a fun shot in which a red car is composited onto an overturned truck, and as it drives off its edges, the VFX guys made it fly up at a 45 degree angle for two frames.
