Behind the Scenes: Snow White and the Huntsman Part 3 Queen...

Behind the Scenes: Snow White and the Huntsman Part 3
Queen Ravenna: “Come and avenge your father, who was too weak to raise his sword. ”

“SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN” opens in theaters on June 1st. Check out this featurette “Costumes of Colleen Atwood” Academy Award-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood gives us a brief explanation for the costumes she designed in “SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN”.

Charlize Theron’s evil queen costumes for “Snow White and the Huntsman” called for hundreds of hand-cut rooster feathers, thousands of iridescent beetle wings from Thailand and one particularly imposing crown.

The outfits, some of which are on view at a Los Angeles pop-up gallery ahead of the film’s Friday opening, represented a host of firsts for Academy Award-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood.

From the leather piping on the pleats of the queen’s wedding gown to the gauzy green metal trim on the beetle-wing dress, the nine-time Oscar nominee and three-time winner experimented with materials for director Rupert Sanders’ dark take on the classic fairy tale.

“The idea of the fairy tale sets you free in a way because you can make it up,” Atwood said. “And I love to make up stuff.”

She created an armored ensemble fit for a queen by dressing up chain mail with rolled leather and horsehair trim and topping it off with a particularly pointy metal crown.

“We wanted to have a formidable silhouette,” Atwood said, “and from a distance it’s spooky with the crown and her height and everything.” (Theron stands nearly six feet tall, the designer added.)

In Sanders’ version of the Snow White story, Kristen Stewart portrays the only woman in the land fairer than Theron’s evil queen Ravenna. The queen dispatches a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) to kill the young woman, but instead he becomes her mentor and protector.

Atwood took on the project after finishing work on Tim Burton’s “Dark Shadows,” starring Johnny Depp. Atwood and Burton are frequent and successful collaborators: Her most recent Oscar was for his 2010 film “Alice in Wonderland,” and she earned nominations for her costumes in Burton’s “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” and “Sleepy Hollow.”

Atwood’s “Snow White” costumes are miles – and eras – away from “Dark Shadows.”

“They don’t resemble each other in any way,” she said, “so it was fun to shift from one to the other and have a whole different world to think about.”

And slide right into. “Snow White” director Sanders said Atwood’s wardrobes “blend seamlessly into this world, and they speak volumes about the world and its characters.”

Theron agreed. From the wedding dress, with its architectural shoulders that appear to be made from bones, to the twice-embroidered gown that eventually resembles an old, peeling skin, Atwood’s costumes reflect the evil queen’s obsession with appearances.

“Every costume had a feeling of not quite what it seems,” Theron said. “In a way, these dresses were like torture devices for Ravenna. I love that because I feel like Ravenna was, in a way, more torturous toward herself than to the people she was killing.”

To minimize the actual on-set torture, Atwood employed a team of about 50 people to help the actors in and out of the elaborate costumes.

But the beetle wings remain dangerous. Thousands of the hard, brittle wings decorate the evil queen’s regal dress of silk and metal mesh.

“They’re incredibly sharp, so I had to be careful about how I used them. If you hit them, you can hurt yourself,” the designer said. “They’re quite treacherous, which really suited the character.”

Behind the Scenes: Dark Shadows (2012) Part 3 - Tim Burton
Barnabas Collins: “If a man can become a monster, then a monster can become a man.”

Tim Burton’s “Dark Shadows”, stars Johnny Depp and Michelle Pfeiffer, comes to theaters this Friday, May 11th. Check out this behind the scenes making of featurette.

“Dark Shadows” is an American Gothic soap opera that originally aired weekdays on the ABC television network, from June 27, 1966, to April 2, 1971. The show was created by Dan Curtis. The story bible, which was written by Art Wallace, does not mention any supernatural elements. It was unprecedented in daytime television when ghosts were introduced about six months after it began.

The TV series became hugely popular when vampire Barnabas Collins (Jonathan Frid) appeared a year into its run. Dark Shadows also featured werewolves, zombies, man-made monsters, witches, warlocks, time travel, and a parallel universe. A small company of actors each played many roles (as actors came and went, some characters were played by more than one actor). Major writers besides Art Wallace included Malcolm Marmorstein, Sam Hall, Gordon Russell, and Violet Welles.

Dark Shadows (1966-1971) TV series was distinguished by its vividly melodramatic performances, atmospheric interiors, memorable storylines, numerous dramatic plot twists, unusually adventurous music score, and broad and epic cosmos of characters and heroic adventures.

“Dark Shadows” (2012) screenplay written by Seth Grahame-Smith, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Eva Green, Jackie Earle Haley, Jonny Lee Miller, Chloë Grace Moretz and Bella Heathcote.

In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet-or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine.

The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy … until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. permalink

Behind the Scenes: Jurassic Park Part 6
Dr. Alan Grant: “Mr. Hammond, after careful consideration, I’ve decided NOT to endorse your park.”
John Hammond: “Neither do I.”

This is last installment, part six of six making of (1993) “Jurassic Park” hosted by James Earl Jones with interviews from legendary visual effects master Dennis Muren, Stan Winston, dinosaur supervisor Phil Tippett and director Steven Spielberg.

“Jurassic Park” is a 1993 American science fiction adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Michael Crichton. It stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Martin Ferrero, and Bob Peck. The film centers on the fictional Isla Nublar near Costa Rica in the Central American Pacific Coast, where a billionaire philanthropist and a small team of genetic scientists have created an amusement park of cloned dinosaurs.

Before Crichton’s book was even published, many studios had already begun bidding to acquire the picture rights. Spielberg, with the backing of Universal Studios, acquired the rights before publication in 1990, and Michael Crichton was hired for an additional $500,000.00 to adapt the novel for the screen. David Koepp wrote the final draft, which left out much of the novel’s exposition and violence, and made numerous changes to the characters. Filming locations were in both Hawaii and California.

“Jurassic Park” is regarded as a landmark in the use of computer-generated imagery, and received highly positive reviews from most critics. During its release, the film grossed over $900 million worldwide, becoming the most successful film released up to that time (surpassing E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and surpassed 4 years later byTitanic), and it is currently the 20th highest grossing feature film (taking inflation into account, it is the 18th-highest-grossing film in North America). It is the most financially successful film for Universal and Steven Spielberg. It won the Academy Award for Best Sound Mixing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Visual Effects.

“Jurassic Park” (1993) was based on novel by Michael Crichton, screenplay written by Michael Crichton and David Koepp, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Sam Neil, Laura Dern Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Bob Peck, Martin Ferrero, BD Wong, Samuel L. Jackson, Wayne Knight, Joseph Mazzello and Ariana Richards. permalink
