"Albino Farm" FX wizard speaks for the first time
The first ever photo from
Sean McEwen's
Albino Farm was released earlier today, together with bits of a conversation with
Jason Barnett,
Albino Farm's FX Maestro.
The film follows the plight of four college students who, while exploring the Ozark Mountains for a midterm assignment on rural America, come face to face with a community of cave-dwelling redneck genetic mutations.
Jason Barnett says about how it ended up working on
ALBINO FARM, “Director
Sean McEwen initially contacted me a year ago. My company, Industrial Monsters & Props, worked together in developing the look of the creatures, always basing it on a real life deformity or condition.”
Most filmmakers have a specific vision of what they want with their film;
Jason tells that
Sean was really easy to work with, “I think the term
Sean used was "go crazy!" And for about two months, we did. It took hundreds and hundreds of hours to create all of the prosthetics and effects for this show. It got pretty nuts, as we were still casting creatures a week or so before filming started. My crew worked very hard on
Albino Farm.”
The creatures created sound pretty damn interesting, especially the ‘Pig-Bitch’, “Our main creature, the Pig-Bitch, has an over-sized head, a 6-inch gap between her eyes and a cleft lip. I'd say that's [going] pretty far.” He also explains how the prop operates, “The make-up consisted of a radio controlled headpiece with an overlapping face appliance and teeth, he explains, “our actress,
Bianca Barnett, was in the make-up for upwards of 12 hours. It paid off though, as her part will definitely stand out in the film.”
So just how bloody is
ALBINO FARM? Barnett replies, “We brought the blood. End of story.”

Lionsgate "The Eye" remake will be coming in 2008
Earlier Lionsgate had said that their remake of The Eye was hitting theaters on October 12, but earlier today it was officially bumped to February 1, 2008.
It was a good call, considering the original date put it in competition with
30 Days of Night and of course Lionsgate's other film,
Saw IV, which is destined to destroy all.
Directed by
David Moreau and
Xavier Palud the film stars
Jessica Alba, Parker Posey, Alessandro Nivola, Francois Chau and
Tamlyn Tomita.
