You know how in spy movies they always have impeccably realistic rubber masks of real people, or at least other characters? You've seen them in the Mission: Impossible movies and more recently on TV's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. But they've never been totally believable, right?
At least in the movie Face/Off the disguises were the real faces of two men who swapped identities. Jason Statham knows what's up, as his character in Spy doesn't simply ask for a mask in the below scene. He asks to use "the Face/Off machine."
In the movie, the tough guy is told that such a machine does not exist. At least it didn't at the time of shooting but apparently now does (sort of).
As a promotional tie-in for Spy, you can go to an online Face-Off Machine and download a 3D file of a Jason Statham face scan to print on a 3D printer. What you do next is up to you. All we know is this could have come in handy a year ago when they decided to reboot the Transporter movies without the real Jason Statham. ed.
If the idea of a Jason Statham mask sounds familiar, maybe you're familiar with my theory that a mask worn by Ryan Gosling in Drive is supposed to be of Statham. After all, Gosling plays a stunt driver and the mask is something that was supposedly used for the character to double as an action movie star. It's either supposed to be Statham or maybe Bruce Willis. Back then I discovered some real stunt masks of Jason Statham's face used for Crank 2, which you can see below.
