Prima di arrivare nelle mani dia Francis Lawrence l’adattamento di Io Sono Leggenda sarebbe dovuto essere diretto da nientemeno che da Ridley Scott, almeno 10 anni prima.

Le cose poi non sono andate secondo i piani a causa del budget ritenuto troppo elevato. Ed ora il makeup artist Alec Gillis ha condiviso in rete dei test di trucco prostetico delle persone infette dal virtus (“Emociti”) nella versione che doveva essere curata da Scott.

Ridley Scott’s version of I AM LEGEND was to have starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and featured ‘hemocytes’ realized as makeup characters. I think we did our design exploratory in about 1997 ( is that right @h2originals ?) Ridley was influenced by wax figures from the 17th century. We did a test on a single female subject to show her in a few stages of emaciation. The appliance pieces were sculpted by @ryankennethpeterson and Steve Koch and applied by @Tom_woodruffjr , myself and Barry Koper. Shortly after we shot the test at ADI Warner’s decided not to make the movie. The budget was coming in 10 mil higher than desired. It all got shelved until the Francis Lawrence/ Will Smith version years later. We did get an interview on that version but there was next to no interest in makeup fx. Contribbing sculptors were @schellsculpturestudio and Jeff Boccaccio. Tech work helmed by @h2originals. Paint by Mike Larrabee.
