Whose blood is this!? 🩸

You don’t just splatter blood thoughtlessly on a horror set! Roles of whose in charge of which blood is super delineated between departments! As a director I could get confused if I was talking to the right person about the right splatter of blood ❣️

Top départ pour les précommandes de S!CK 033, le numéro Nosferatu ! Un volume cinéma illustré de 184 pages, écrit aux côtés des créateurs/trices de Blue Velvet, Annihilation, Mickey 17 et Everything Everywhere All At Once. 🏰

➔ Recevez votre copie ici en bio !

Pour donner vie à ce numéro hanté, nous avons réuni une partie des artistes et de l'équipe créative du film de 2024. L'occasion de se replonger dans la genèse du monstre sculpté par David White @alteredstatesfx (Prosthetic Designer) et Traci Loader @traciloader (Makeup Design). Le directeur artistique Hauke Richter nous a guidés dans l'architecture caverneuse du célèbre château, avant que Linda Muir @lindamuircostumedesign revienne en détail sur les recherches et la minutie de ses (superbes) costumes.

Vous disséquerez aussi la mécanique des plans avec l'artiste storyboard @adampescott, les racines expressionnistes de Nosferatu avec @tllvh Till Holder (Concept Artist), ou encore les interminables râles de la bête avec les sound-designers Damian Volpe et Michael Fentum.

Au sommaire, vous trouverez aussi des dizaines d'interviews qui immortalisent les histoires derrière la création de films comme Everything Everywhere All At Once (@kisvarday Jason Kisvarday), Mickey 17 (Edward Ashton, @fiona_crombie_ Fiona Crombie).

Annihilation (Andrew Whitehurst, Denis Schnegg), Common Side Effects (Vincent Tsui @vct_tsui) ou encore Blue Velvet (Duwayne Dunham, @jeffgoodwinmakeup Jeff Goodwin). Des discussions parsemées d'illustrations spécialement créées pour ce numéro par des artistes français et internationaux @alekseyrico, @eyardt, @__dashiel__ , @k.jamesduval, @bazin.nico, @patgthom, @sevan_man, @doodleshawn & @synopsies_

Alors que le spectre du tout-dématérialisé et de la slop-culture générative se fait de plus en plus pesant, il est urgent de remettre en avant la création humaine au coeur d'un objet tangible, que vous pouvez garder, corner, prêter et échanger.

Le chemin était long, mais nous sommes fiers de pouvoir donner vie à une revue créative et sans compromis, qui synthétise notre amour infini pour les films, ainsi que celles et ceux qui les fabriquent. 🖤 taken in Vortex by @traciloader

Been hanging onto this amazing BTS of the Gorn episode. Ortegas flying the ship whilst in pieces. 😂 I love to show how much fun we have, even when the shot is gooey, bloody, sweaty, and massive. Amazing makeup by @andreaheldman prosthetic work by @traciloader and @kyledoustmufx and this video by @anthonyfascionephotography that I cherish so much 🥹 🖖 taken in OUTER SPACE by @traciloader

Robert Eggers raises his hand mid-direction on the Nosferatu set, guiding Bill Skarsgård and Lily-Rose Depp through one of the film’s most haunting moments.

A rare glimpse at the intensity behind the lens — featured in the current issue of Empire Magazine.

Beside him, an intense Bill Skarsgård, shirtless and covered in elaborate prosthetic makeup as Count Orlok, looms over Lily-Rose Depp, who lies on the ground in costume. A large camera rig is positioned above them, capturing the moment on a dimly lit soundstage set dressed to resemble a forest floor. Crew members and equipment surround the scene by @traciloader

Now that life is back to normal I have to give a huge thank you to @alteredstatesfx (David White). Through the chaos of press, premieres, red carpets, and endless award season madness… this one kept me laughing, sane(ish), and properly caffeinated.
Forever my @nosferatuthefilm partner-in-crime — couldn’t have done it without you.
B&W because we’re classy like that.
