00:00On Wolfman, I felt that the best way to approach it was more practically.

00:06Action!

00:07I wanted to actually see it.

00:09I needed it to exist as if it was happening right in front of you.

00:13Daddy, are we going to die?

00:16No, it's my job to protect you.

00:19With the look of Wolfman, I knew I wanted to do something very different.

00:23And Aryan delivered something really artistic and horrifying.

00:28I thought about how are we going to make this different

00:30and dare to step away from what had been done in the past.

00:34The makeups that Jack Pierce did,

00:36Sam Winston and Rick Baker, they're such classics.

00:39It's pretty hard to top.

00:40I think the way to do it is to take it in a completely different direction.

00:44I was really inspired by movies like John Carpenter's The Thing,

00:48David Cronenberg's The Fly.

00:50Two anatomies trying to mix that don't quite go together.

00:54And it's a painful one at that.

00:56What's wrong with Daddy?

00:57He got sick.

01:01When Chris got out of his makeup trailer for the first time and I saw him,

01:04I was completely speechless.

01:06I was like, wow.

01:08Hearing from the crew, the first time they saw it,

01:10they were coming up to me and saying,

01:12I don't get scared easily, but this is one of the scariest things I've seen.

01:16Please dad, you're scaring me!

01:19Creepy and absolutely crazy.

01:21I've never seen anything like this and it was so real.

01:25That was a turning moment where we all knew,

01:27okay, this is going to be something good.

01:30In the moment, it sort of feels like some strange performance art

01:33because again, the effects are all real.

01:36As much labor as that is, it's very exciting to me to go that route.

01:42I really hope that people walk away from this film unable to forget the imagery.

01:46Blake, stop!

01:47It's not the Wolfman you've seen before.

01:55It's not the Wolfman.
