Perhaps it was just the face that was handled in the post production phase and the rest was physical make-up in between shots...

But the gradual development into the full fledged form would take shots of the fur coming in, the face developing into a wolf life form, the eyes changing, and the body shifting, correct? I suppose they could just do quick shots of various stages of make-up with a transforming CGI face, but they could have very well just replaced the entire actor with CGI, as well...

I know he cited the "teeth" in the mouth as an example of one of the flaws the production studio had with the rough draft. Wasn't aware of the "stretching mouth," but that wouldn't surprise me, in all honesty.

At any rate, here's my source: http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/07/27/cgi-wolf-man...

Granted, the article is just under a year old and the state of it could have very well changed by now, but it's still something to keep in mind, regardless.

From my understanding, the actual transformation sequences will be CGI, which Baker opposed as he had the make-up present to do a physical rendition of it.

He also didn't have much guidance with the studio heading the CGI with the transformations and did notice flaws with it upon visiting the company and viewing a rough draft.

Whether that is still the case or not is unknown.

I could see them pulling off the effects in a similar manner to what was used to bring the creatures to life in "Where the Wild Things Are" (a mix of actual costumes and CGI faces).

As glad as I am to see it'll finally see the "light of day" in some shape or form, I'm a bit let down that the executives at Warner Bros shelved it for two years just to simply "damn" it straight to DVD.

This a horror film that essentially serves as a tribute to the holiday that contributed towards the foundation of the genre itself. It's a film that wants the viewer to actually enjoy it rather than be disgusted by it. And it "dares" to try something new in the endless proverbial "sea" of waste the horror industry has sadly sunk to.

I find it rather pathetic that a film such as "Trick 'r Treat" can't garner a theatrical release, yet the next horribly crafted "Saw" film or another piss poor remake is just around the corner.

The cancellation of Family Guy was a good thing though.

Swift jabs aside, there's a sense of frustration with corporate executives when they conduct impulsively induced decisions strictly based upon the grounds of "numbers."

I understand that the studio is running a business and it has to make decisions for the good of the company. Decisions worth a rather large sum of money, might I add. But the integrity and quality of the company needs to also be taken into consideration.

With that said, corporate greed has repeatedly stamped on the notion of "quality" over and over again. It's an unfortunate "staple" to the industry.

But I suppose it really comes down to the question, what would Fox really replace the series with? And what if the series went on to be quite successful and just had a bit of a rocky start? Case in point, NBC's The Office.

The series seems fairly interesting and it'd be foolish to proverbially "pull the rug out" from underneath its continuance.

I say give it another shot and see what transpires. If the ratings dwindle to a crippling number and the quality declines, then cancel it. But if both soar, then it's a success that could have been cut down prematurely.
