October 20: I AM LEGEND makeup FX artist named
Fango just learned that makeup FX artist Christien Tinsley is creating the undead creatures that pursue Will Smith and co. through I AM LEGEND, the megabudget film version of Richard Mathesons classic vampire-apocalypse novel currently shooting in New York City. Prior to creating LEGENDs bloodthirsty hemosites, as theyre called in this adaptation, Tinsley built the Bigfoot for Ryan Schifins ABOMINABLE (in which he also took an acting role, pictured, as the ill-mannered, ill-fated home-care worker for Matt McCoys hero) and got Jim Caviezel all bloody for THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST; he also contributed some very messy blood FX to William Friedkins upcoming thriller BUG. Directed by Francis (CONSTANTINE) Lawrence, I AM LEGEND is targeting a November 21, 2007 release by Warner Bros. Michael Gingold
