Entertainment Weekly has posted an official images of Beninco Del Toro in full make up as The Wolf Man.
It’s putting the traditonal, pasting it on Benicio, and giving him the American Werewolf in London teeth. Overall I like it.
Along with the images there’s an interview with Rick Baker.
Here the highlights.
What can fans of The Wolfman look forward to the most?
RICK BAKER: You never know how the movie’s going to be, but from what we’ve
done so far, which, mind you, hasn’t been very much, what I would say to fans is
that at least you know that the guy who’s doing the makeup in the movie is
coming from the same place they are — as a fan. I have a real appreciation for
the old Universal classics. The old fanboy in me is jumping up and down
here!
How does Wolfman rank next to the rest of the films on your extensive
résumé?
It’s funny: I’ve been very successful and done a lot of films, and I don’t
really have an agent — I don’t really pursue jobs, I let people come to me. I’m
not really listed anywhere; I don’t know how people find me! It’s easier now
that I’m more established, but in the earlier days when I first started out,
it’s actually amazing that I was successful. But with this film, when I first
found out they were going to do it, I went and talked to somebody I know at
Universal. I said, ”You know what? I have to do The Wolfman! You’ve got to let
me do this! I’ll do some really cool stuff.” The Wolfman and Frankenstein were
probably the two most important films in my childhood that made me want to
become a makeup artist. I pursued this job. Fortunately they said okay! It’s
been really fun. We’ve been filming at night, and were filming in this gypsy
camp. It was like being in an old Universal film. We were in this forest with
these cool gypsy wagons and these gypsies sitting all around, and people on
horseback, and fog — I was just going, Yeah! The Wolfman!
The nostalgia of the original sounds all there, and the previous image of Beninco covered in blood, this looks to be a gory R rated film.
To be honest, I know they have to establish the different styles of The Dark Knight on the covers, but I prefer the single disc version.
