Characters from three of the all-time highest grossing movies will join the star ranks of the Hollywood [California] Wax Museum. Starting July 31, Harry Potter, Spider-Man and Captain Leo Davidson (Mark Wahlberg), along with three primate co-stars from Planet of the Apes, will appear as if they stepped off the movie screen casting their spells, webs and blame. Eleven-year-old Daniel Radcliffe, already waxing nostalgic about his role as the young wizard-in-training, is “lifelike to the point it’s spooky,” according to the Museum’s wax artist Paul Barnes. The biggest challenge? “His eyes,” says Barnes. “We had to bring in a pediatric ophthalmologist to help us create his baby blues with the focus and depth of the real thing.” (From the Entertainment News Daily.)
