Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy and Socratis Otto are set to star in the film opening February 22, 2013 and, today, word has trickled in regarding who will be responsible for creating the Frankenstein monster and sundry creatures featured in the story.
Make-Up Effects Group, an Australia-based company, revealed via Facebook:
“We are really excited to announce that Make-up Effects Group have been given the job to create all the special make-up effects for the feature film I, Frankenstein.
Weve already created some cool conceptual demon sculptures that Stuart and the team loved. Currently we are developing the Frankenstein ‘look’ for actor Aaron Eckhart.
It’s about to go into life-casting over-drive, as all the actors come in to have their head casts done.”
