The upcoming movie will feature centaurs, and based on the trialers, at least one or two should have some decent camera time.
Unfortunately, they've also shown a little of how they were created in the special effects section on the web page. Standard blue screen to create the human portion and then they have a horse walk through for the equine portion. A touch of computer magic to map the human torso onto the equine head/neck and voila instant centaur.
For the crowd scenes, it's the standard computer cloning.
I expect to to be well done and should look nicer than standard CG characters. But we'll see once it comes to the Big screen.
