The Thing: Creating the Juliette Thing

Transforming the female character Juliette was an exciting and unique challenge for THE THING prequel. The plan was to “thing out“ Juliette from a human to a threatening, terrifying creature. Our approach was to design and build the final creature as an animatronic prosthetic that a performer would wear on set. See Juliette’s evolution from illustration to maquette to final sculpture.
