Little R2 Gets Around
Category: No Category
You may remember a month or so ago I posted the article R2D2 is in Star Trek. Well he has finally been found.
During the Drill Machine sequence as the Enterprise comes out of its barrel role amidst destruction of the other Federation ships above Vulcan, we cut to an interior Enterprise bridge over the shoulder of Kirk that is looking out through the front viewscreen. In space, R2-D2 is floating in the debris from about the top middle of the screen to the bottom right.
Rumors are now spreading that ILM has been putting R2 in every film they do the effects for. One person claims he is in "The Will Be Blood" and all the Pirates movies. Anyone seen any of these??

How can you tell from that fuzzy little blob?
I thought R2D2 was inseparable from C3PO, so where's the golden body?

Elisabeth - Paramount announced a competition to win pieces from the set if you could find R2D2 in Star Trek - he was purposefully placed in the film.

That's HILARIOUS. Gotta love R2D2... yes indeed, the little good luck charm that speaks in beeps.

As for putting R2D2 in every movie they work on, that's simply sabotage! R2 in There Will Be Blood? Paul Thomas Anderson would be outraged!
I love R2, but this madness has to stop!

Generally I'd agree with you, but such an insignificant part has no bearing on the movie... just a little bit of fun

I do think you are too much of a purist Bryn - chill out
I heard talk that he was in the other films - whether he actually is is another thing. Plus - I do not think any film would get R2 in it unless the director knew about it. ILM does have some integrity to maintain.
Someone - "just a little bit of fun" - a nice summation.
