[moodyskydiver 0]

Just saw the previews for the new Tomb Raider movie coming out July 12th and caught a few seconds of a canopy landing and a few birdman suits.Anyone have any info on it or am I just an idiot who watches too much tv?

Yeah, you're probably just an idiot but.... I saw the preview too. I believe they were jumping off of a building with a birdman suit. ANyone know who did the stunts?

This has been covered here in depth. If you do a quick search of "Tomb Raider" I'm sure you'll find out all about it.

Spoiler for the new Charlie's Angel movie.

There's a psuedo-wing-suit contraption worn by Demi Moore that looks like a collaboration between Birdman and Donatella Versace. It's completely ridiculous, of course, and nothing that would work in real-life, but it's interesting to see wingsuits becoming more common in popular media.

Don't expect to see a lot of realism in the new CA movie - they took CG to the level of absurd. But it's a funny movie - I enjoyed it.

Ya, the new charlie's angels treats the characters more like cartoon figures than real life people capable of amazing things. I give it a D-

Well, there is an ANIMATED movie/series coming out, so, you are absolutely right.

Actualy...in Tombraider, you see them run in birdman-suits (HOW?), then do the exit from the building in a simulair color (normal) jumpsuit.
And then (suddenly:) at 6000 ft or so, they unfold their 'hidden' birdman birman-wings and fly...weeeeeeeeeee (cool tele-shots though)

That was Martin Rosen and Per Flar. They didn't BASE that building with the wingsuits, as that would be a bad idea. They BASEd it as one usually would, and then the wingsuit flying footage was shot on a skydive. And yes, the sequence of the appearance and use of the wingsuits is a little weird.
