Man-Thing Movie Update
The Man-Thing movie, set to debut on Sci Fi Channel on April 30, brings the Marvel character to life using various creative processes.
"From the outset, Man-Thing was intended to be a prosthetic, CG-enhanced creature," Marvel's Ari Arad told The Continuum recently. "So there was a great deal of R&D."
There's positional stuff happening on location, on the set, but at the same time the stuff you don't currently see in camera was always engineered to be enhanced by digital effects. So when you see the movie, hopefully the line is pretty blurry. It's not an all-CG creature."
