THING Filming Edvard-Thing BTS 

I would pay so much money just to see that

We can only dream...

@@jackierocha5096 They would still need some vfx to morph the faces. Also to add the Spider legs, which aren't seen here.

It might make the money better

100% agree

This scene permanently messed with my head.

"lustful" ☠☠☠

@@huashohan7197 Well, in fact it is, because The Thing feels a pleasure from assimilation. And yes, I responded to a two year old comment.

@bazshow8823 well damn. to this day I still didn't know.

+MovieNerd_EP In America you can see gore, but cannot see sex scenes and/or curses related to sex I guess. Ask Trump.

Lol, the exact opposite to europe then

+MovieNerd_EP which is something we are proud of

Indeed

You do have a point, if a young kid saw this I'd be worrying about their mental health afterwards

Director wanted to but studio said no. :/

Man fuck that studio then.

+uderzo1984 From what I see in the movie, they DID use this awesome practical effect. They just enhanced with with some CGI to add the moving legs of the creature (which would be very, very hard to do well as a practical effect), and to show the actual merging of the faces. There is a legend going around that "originally they planned to do everything with practical effects but then they lazily CGI-ed over everything", but that is clearly untrue. What we see in the movie is a mostly successful blend of practical effects and CGI.

You need to watch the movie again without huffing paint first...that CGI was a shit show and ruined ADI's amazing work.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xFBMC3oeHUE.html sorry replying to such an old comment, but watching this video shows they pretty much removed it entirely

Almost none of this is in the movie.

Thats a shame! I hope they at least put 10 hours of this in the "behind th scenes" on the dvds and blurays! People should get to see what these artists have made!

DcTattoo_Swe Everyone agrees with you, except for the people who decided not to use any of this...

These animatronics weren't used in the final cut unfortunately. Studio Execs told them to use CG instead.

+DomoDolo what a stupid decision.

+Alex Parodi Most definitely

+DomoDolo one of the reasons the film failed, that animatronic dummy is a terrifying and well crafted. cgi sucks.

For a long time I thought that this movie sucked because of the director. Turned out it was the studio's fault. The director submitted a workprint version of The Thing with practical effects and no CGI, but the execs decided that it looked "too '80s" and chose to go with CGI instead. Huge mistake! The decision screwed them over, the director hasn't directed a film since, and we fans never got to see a proper prequel.

+Tanner Phoenix But they didn't use these takes. Execs wanted to go CGI, this would have been scarier.

prequel was just as good as the original

C15 0001229684 ...Said no one ever.

I want to punch those producers in the face.

The same thought as well...

BloodyFlowerFilms A lot of times, the practical effect is only used for a reference point for the actor. You've undoubtedly seen Jurassic World by now, most of it was CGI and damn good CGI in my opinion. There was some practical effects which blended nicely with the CGI.

+BloodyFlowerFilms sadly, they did replace it all with CGI and it looked like a video game. When will studios learn?

MichaelLeroi I guess they didn't get the budget they needed, because Imagine Engine has produced some great CGI effects, in my opinion. But there in lies my view, as I have no problem with using CGI over practical effects.

I was referring also to Jurassic World. Which did not have that excuse

+TheKanonHara That is mainly what they did. I think their reasoning for not going full-on with the legs is simply because it would be too hard to create with practical effects.

I heard they were going full on practical effects while making the movie, then the studio added CG later against the director's will. It makes sense though.

I think they were going to add legs with CGI but it would fit it more because 70% of it would be practical. Silly decision from the studio, though, is it not?

Este trabajo de un año no aparece en el film, fue borrado por CGI el último mes de producción... Tal vez por eso

+smokefuss23 In the Movie its fully CGI though. They (unfortunately) decided to replace all the awesome animatronics with bad computer generated effects

I'm guessing for legal reasons, since Universal own the rights to the movie.

Most likely for synchronizing sound fx in post.
