由亚历山大·斯卡斯加德主演的电影《柳条人》将于8月6日至23日在墨尔本国际电影节放映，随后于11月26日全国上映。[1]在这部由亚历克斯·休斯顿·费舍尔和埃莉诺·威尔逊执导的作品中，斯卡斯加德饰演一个由魔法创造的丈夫，全身由柳条制成。[1]
为了实现这一独特的视觉效果，新西兰的韦塔工坊历时18个月为斯卡斯加德设计并制作了复杂的假肢套装。[1]该套装由3D打印树脂面板组成，包括面罩、裤子和袖子等多个部分，结合视觉特效技术打造出这个角色。[1]开发过程涉及360度摄影、激光扫描和硅胶生命铸模等技术手段。[1]
导演费舍尔表示："当你看这部电影时，感觉像是魔法。"[1]威尔逊则强调："我们真的希望这些时刻很特别但非常微妙，这样你就不会一直想着视觉特效技巧。"[1]
The upcoming film Wicker will premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival, featuring actor Alexander Skarsgard in a role unlike any other: a husband constructed entirely from wicker.[1] Directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson, the film showcases Skarsgard as a character brought to life through basketmaker magic, with his entire body crafted from interwoven willow branches.[1]
The transformation required an extraordinary technical undertaking by Weta Workshop, which spent 18 months developing an intricate prosthetic suit for Skarsgard.[1] The costume combines 3D-printed resin panels with visual effects to create the distinctive wicker appearance, incorporating components such as a mask, trousers, and sleeves.[1] The design process involved 360-degree photography, laser scanning, and silicone life casting to ensure authenticity and movement compatibility.[1]
Fischer described the viewing experience as seamless, stating that "when you watch this film, it feels like magic."[1] Wilson emphasized the filmmakers' commitment to subtlety in execution, noting, "We really wanted these moments to feel special but very subtle, so you're not constantly thinking about the VFX tricks."[1] Wicker will screen at the Melbourne International Film Festival from August 6 to 23, with a nationwide release scheduled for November 26.[1]
