New Forever Knight Movie - Vamping Out

[nicholas_lucien]

So for those following the progress of the movie, they have been lately working on what the vampire characters will look like once they are vamped out.  They are still tweaking the details, but the new pictures of what they have so far for Nick have been posted on their site. 

Looks like there will be physical changes, the most obvious being upper fangs and colored eyes (red).  The skin area around the eyes becomes darker, which enhances the eyes and makes them more noticeable.  There will also be, how shall I say it, alterations to the nose, brow, and eye area.  If you are familiar with the facial changes to the vampires from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, picture that, but some more.          

For more info and to see the pictures, check out the FK Movie Facebook page.

Hmmm. One of the things I liked about FK was the way they strictly limited the vamped out look—basically to fangs and (sometimes) eye colour. I dare say their motive was financial. Still, humanocentric of me or not, I think it's easier to see the characters sympathetically if they don't look stereotypically "monstrous". Or, to put it another way, it's too easy to mentally split the character into good and evil sides (e.g. Angel vs Angelus) if there's a major difference in appearance.

Yes, I think the "monstrous" part threw me off when I saw it, and it is too easy to become unsympathetic when the character looks that much different.
