Great pic....but that shot is definitely NOT in the actual film in the way you see it portrayed in the photo....in the actual movie it is a long distance shot that flies by at 90 mph so there are no lingering wetlook shots to see at all.....cos that entire pool scene lasts about 2.5 seconds in the final cut of the film.

...and so you ask "why" is the film edited this way.....thats because it is a Jerry Bruckheimer film....and Jerry is the King of Action packed movies....and so all Jerry Bruckehimer films are "rollercoaster" style films where all the action flies by at lightning pace.....so there is no time to hang around for wetlook shots....ha ha...

This is why Jerry Bruckheimer films always make 200 million at the box office....and Wetlook Producers are lucky if their videos make $200.00 in sales.....cos action packed movies sell....and slow paced wetlook scenes are considered to be boring by mainstream Hollywood.....ha ha.

But look on the bright side......if Hollywood knew how to do wetlook scenes properly in the way we like them....they would put all the current wetlook producers out of business....and the ONLY reason wetlook producers exist....is because they are able to do something that Hollywood is unwilling to do properly.

- For horse riding girls wetlook scenes, I just received the DVD boxed set of the old 1971 UK tv series "Follyfoot" (made by Yorkshire television from 1971 to 1973 - 39 episodes). I had not seen this series in decades, but they recently released it on dvd. I did not have time to scan all the episodes yet, but so far I found an excellent wetlook scene on episode 2, where lead actress Gillian Blake swims fully clothed across a river with her horse, and she gets totally wet up to her neck (not just her riding pants). So, if they are airing the "Follyfoot" tv series on the UK Gold channel...check it out, or you can rent the series from UK video stores.

The don't waste your time tip is...

- Remember all those awesome still photos we saw last year...of the lead actress  totally soaked while making the film PRINCE OF PERSIA....well...now the film has been released and I checked it out....and they did the same thing to us that they did on the TWILIGHT ECLIPSE movie...i.e. none of the great wetlook pics that we saw on the internet...ended up in the final cut of the film. All you see is yet another 3 second long shot of the girl jumping from a window into a pool...and then climbing out....all long distance...no close ups or money shots. So...none of the wetlook pics we saw during the making of that film....can be seen in the actual film itself.....another cop out scene.
