A new promo from Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy's upcoming drama
Victor Frankenstein was released last week by Entertainment Weekly, featuring their characters of Dr. Frankenstein and Igor under duress and soaking wet. That, as well as a quote from Dan about his character Igor, can be seen here.
Victor Frankenstein is set for release this Thanksgiving weekend.
Quote:
“It’s about creation, and Victor is not only creating this monster but in a sense Igor, who in the beginning of the movie is living in abject conditions and considered less than human,” Radcliffe says.
According to Nerdist blog, Dan is set to attend this year's San Diego Comic-Con, as they noted he will participate in a live podcast with them on Saturday, July 11 from 3:15 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Finally, the
Harry Potter star updated his Google plus page last week with a behind-the-scenes look at how his creepy devil version of Ig Perrish in last year's
Horns came to life. That video and an explanation from Dan can be seen here.
Quote:
Hey guys!
So this is a video that was shot during Horns. Let me give a little bit of context because it’s really cool and I want you to know what’s going on. There is a shot near the end of Horns where I kneel on the ground and the camera rotates around me as I transform from fully human into the demonic state I find myself in near the end of the film. To do this we had to film the same shot three times in 3 different stages of make-up, before clever members of the Visual Effects department seamlessly join them together to make them look like one. All in all, including the time spent in the make-up trailer and the VFX tent(that’s the bit in the vid where I’m standing in a dark room, rotating under flashing lights on a platform! It is futuristically referred to as ‘cyberscanning’!) and on set, it took about 8 hours to complete this shot.
So in the video you see the phenomenally talented Mike McCarthy and Mike Fields cleaning, gluing, and painting me through the three stages of the Transformation(as it became known). These guys are amazing at what they do and anyone with a passing interest in Prosthetic Make-Up should watch this. I had fully expected the make up for the final stage alone to take 5 hours or more. As you see in the video, they did it A LOT faster than that. Near the end the wires you see them sticking to me under the wetsuit are ‘squibs’, which are the things that blow up under your costume when you get shot on screen. Other than that I think it’s all pretty self-explanatory, so I’ll shut up and let you watch. Thanks again to Mike M and Mike F for being incredible at your jobs and for playing great music. The song here is the brilliant Devil in Me by 22-20s (and if you like it you should buy the album!) - it seemed appropriate!

Up next for Dan is the drama
Swiss Army Man, which he will begin shooting in California starting July 13, right after his Comic-Con appearance.
