I just assumes the original creature suit was a nightmare to wear... just makes it even more amazing that managed to make it comfortable as well as original.Behemoth mediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06224320582603239565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6134892074202905358.post-11079925150353262262017-10-16T10:26:52.787-04:002017-10-16T10:26:52.787-04:00I recently watched a short documentary on YouTube ...I recently watched a short documentary on YouTube about one of the men who wore the suit (I think there were three in general). This was the guy who appeared whenever the gill-man was out of the water at all. There was a professional diver who did all the underwater scenes. He said the suit was remarkably light and comfortable, which isn't what I would have thought at all. This, like King Kong was a rare, fully new, made-up monster with mass appeal. I think you will find that the upcoming 'Water' movie is a lot less about a connection to the Creature, and a great deal more to do with the character of Abe Sapien from "Hellboy," which of course was likely inspired by the Creature. Del Toro wanted to keep doing stuff with Hellboy but couldn't, so made his own 'origin of Sapien' story, though it's NOT Sapien (because of copyrights). It's got good press so far.T'https://www.blogger.com/profile/07986564213736430022noreply@blogger.com
