Just found this on io9, an early CGI screen Test of one of the monsters in “The Host 2”, a korean monster-movie that sheds the old “guy in a rubber suit” for more modern technologies.
Twitch posted this image yesterday, of Hostie running through the streets outside Seoul. Looks like he’ll be straying away from the water, at least for a little while, though the giant mutant carp originally emerged from toxin-laced water near Seoul. None of the original team who made The Host will be back for this sequel, sadly – even the special effects company The Orphanage who made such great effects in the first flick have been dumped for a local Korean CG house.
Not a bad result for a first-test, but not exactly what I’ld call ‘cinema’ quality either. It’s difficult to judge a still from what’s obviously an action shot, but presumably the final product will be better.
