Instead, the look was grounded in photography, exploiting rainbow prism lens flares to achieve a natural chromatic aberration, giving the figures a ghost-like quality. According to VFX supervisor Luke DiTommasso, Cahill was adamant that these should not resemble the famous Princess Leia hologram in Star Wars: A New Hope. Take, for example, the holograms of people projecting themselves onto the streets of the Brain Box world. Those effects are based more on actual photography than CGI (although there is definitely some CGI).
It's the onscreen chemistry between Wilson and Hayek, and the way they flesh out their respective roles, that anchors the film, bolstered by a solid script and some inventive VFX. But eventually, aspects of the "ugly" world start seeping through, including a ghostly figure of Emily, imploring Greg to come back to her. Isabel invented it to plug people into "ugly simulated worlds to generate appreciation for the real world." Greg doesn't remember much about this "real" Brain Box world he's now experiencing, but he soon settles in as romance blooms with Isabel. He's attached to a giant computer called the Brain Box. Specifically, Greg wakes up in a laboratory. To prove it, she demonstrates how she can manipulate people and objects in this "ugly simulation." Advertisement "You're real," she says, telling him that all the people he sees outside aren't real-the two of them are just in a simulation. Greg flees the office before the body is discovered and heads to the bar across the street. "But it has a feeling, and the feeling's real." Not surprisingly, his employer, Bjorn (Steve Zissis), takes a dim view of this behavior: despite firing Greg, the two get into a shoving match, and Bjorn hits his head on a table and is killed. He spends most of his work time not answering calls as he daydreams of an idyllic world and sketches out his mental pictures of that world. Wilson plays Greg Whittle, a divorcée who is stuck in a dead-end job.
Per the official premise: "An unfulfilled man (Wilson) and a mysterious woman (Hayek) believe they are living in a simulated reality, but when their newfound 'Bliss' world begins to bleed into the 'ugly' world, they must decide what's real and where they truly belong." Clearly, Cahill is interested in exploring themes of duality, because he has returned to that rich vein for Bliss (not to be confused with the 2019 Fantastic Fest selection of the same name). The plot of Another Earth centered on the discovery of a mirror Earth planet, where everyone has a doppelgänger.
