  • Tom Cruise�s �Knight and Day� Ducati spied



    Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz are both stars in the new "Knight and Day" movie, released on June 23rd. But next to them there is another star: a Ducati Hypermotard, that is in fact an Aprilia SXV550 in disguise. Wait, what?

    Aprilia is being used as a stunt bike, while Ducatti is used for low-speed rides. And how the Hypermotard is just to heavy and too fragile to pull off the stunts, the team opted to an Aprilia. So why hiding an Aprilia under a Ducatti skin? Maybe because Cruise really wanted to drive a Ducatti in the movie, who knows!

          its all cheat...i have worked on the vfx of this movie and i know all the cheats..the bike the stunts everything is a fake.tom cruise and cameron dias have not done any stunts..it was a face replacement with the stunt guys.and about the toe touching the ground..tom cruise's shoe has a big inner sole + the outer sole which makes him look tall.hehe...thats why we vfx artist come in ...and btw the vfx of the movie was done in india.
