Wat weinig mensen weten is dat I am Legend (met één van de beste acteer prestaties van de frisse prins Will Smith) bijna was gemaakt door Ridley Scott, en deze koos voor makeup effecten ipv van de CGI (die slecht was) en dat dreef de kosten zo hoog dat het niet door ging en Francis Lawrence het over nam. Vandaag is de foto van de Makeup test online verschenen en zoals je hier onder kan zien ziet deze er verdomd bad ass uit.

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.
