Make-Up Legend Rick Baker Is Retiring; Cites Studios Wanting “Cheap and Fast” Over Quality

 

[MadVillainy]

Damn

 

[SWAT]

Sad. Such a huge loss to the industry.

Growing up on more old school FX's. It's sad to see that part just die off.

 

[StarLord]

That sucks.

I'm a huge fan of 70s/80s horror movies and that's where a lot of these guys made their names and now we barely see any practical effects, it's sad.

 

[gwynplaine]

Sad news. Whatever happened to Rob Bottin?

 

[Brother Jack]

Not that surprising unfortunately. Practical makeup work is sort of a dying breed, at least the kind that Baker was known for.
