While we all sit, hope, and pray that cooler and more sane heads prevail in terms of giving control of Knights of Badassdom back to the film’s director, Joe Lynch, why not take a second to check out one of the flick’s signature creatures, the Abominog!
Below you’ll find two clips (one of which you may have seen previously last fall) from the movie Men in Suits, which showcases the very talented team at Spectral Motion creating practical creatures, in particular one of the main beasties in Knights.
Pretty cool, eh? Now can someone please get this film away from that greedy nut Wade Bradley from IndieVest Pictures (story here)?
Ryan Kwanten, Steve Zahn, Summer Glau, Peter Dinklage, Margarita Levieva, and Danny Pudi star.
Synopsis:
In this humorous fantasy adventure from IndieVest Pictures, Joe (Ryan Kwanten) is a heavy metal rocker who’s just gone through a painful breakup with his girlfriend, Beth (Margarita Levieva). His concerned roommates (Steve Zahn, Peter Dinklage) kidnap him to their LARP (Live Action Role Playing) gathering, where he enters a realm of fantasy escapism in which pretend knights, elves, and barbarians clash with foam weaponry on a mock battlefield. When Joe’s “sorcerer” roommate (Zahn) inadvertently summons a deadly succubus that takes Beth’s seductive form, bloody reality crashes down upon their fantasy world. Once LARPers start to turn up dead, the make-believe wizards and warriors must become the real life heroes they have been pretending to be in order to conquer the evil that has been unleashed.
