RED PLANET FX STUFF

By Brian Koukol

The Red Planet Movie Site posted some info about the special effects work on "Red Planet": Digital Domain, the special effects company created by James Cameron (TITANIC) and Stan Winston (the creative force behind the dinosaurs in JURASSIC PARK and the creatures of THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU), has been working diligently to prepare RED PLANET for release but they had to call in some reinforcements in the form of the Cinesite Visual Effects company located in Hollywood.

***UPDATE***
An anonymous source strove forth with this interesting info:

The thing you posted about DIGITAL DOMAIN and RED PLANET isn't wholly accurate. Our understanding is that this project is so messed up that DD was going around saying 'who do we have to fuck to get off this picture?' and that they finally did get to leave (part of the problem was production dragging its heels about settling on the effects, eliminating any preproduction time for DD to work stuff out).

Cinesite is probably getting handed most of what DD started. There is an unconfirmed rumor that Aussie companies are working on it as well. Jeff Okun is the overall visual effects supervisor, coordinating the efforts of all companies involved (he did this on SPHERE and STARGATE as well).

The plot thickens!
