I've read a review of 'Reign of Fire' and the movie is supposed to be realy cool (a serious take on the whole dragon thing instead of a ID4 kinda thing)
The review raved about 'a cool skydiving scene' so I gues it's true.....
No idea if they use parachutes or not...maybe they'll just land the birdsuits...who knows :)

Looks like a camera suit to me.

Go to the news section on the movie site, and download the 100 MB making off (GULP!!)
They show much more skydiving, including a couple of landings under a nice big ol' parachute....don't know if those where movie scenes of 'behind' the scenes shots..

Saw the flick tonight. One word review: Mediocre.
The jumpers in the movie were wearing camera suits, standard sport rigs, and fullface helmets (possibly Z1s). It had the Hollywood standard 2 minute freefall from five grand. I couldn't tell if any of the skydiving sequence was shot in freefall, or if it was all special effects. My friends dragged me out before I could watch the creds for a Freefall Photography credit.

The movie sucked pretty bad. But it did have the Point Break 2-minute from 5k gravitational pull. Also, I think the ground computers which were tracking the skydivers was registering 250+ mph or something. I can't remember, (because by that time my friend and I who also jumps were becoming ill), but I think they were opening at a hundred feet or something, so that should explain the 2 minutes of freefall...

There are several stunt people in the credits listed as skydivers and freefall phtographers so my guess is that at least a small portion of it was actual skydiving. I can't say I recognised any of the names though.
