CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till release

Re: CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till rele

FYI: the new issue of ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY (with, sigh, Charlie Sheen on the cover) features a nice shot of the Red Skull in full makeup. He looks good.

^ You sure it's the Red Skull and not Charlie after a bad night on the tiles? The Red out-of-his Skull.

More like a really bad tanning accident.

Seriously, the photo is now posted at ew.com.

Best photo I have seen so far from this film.

I'm getting a Silver Age Kirby vibe from the Skull's design.

I like the way the Red Skull's costume still looks like a Nazi uniform, but also has some other Hydra uniform elements and just looks plain badass.

"Rogerssss... you vill fall before the might of mine Kozmik Kube!"

Although the caption under that picture could be "Hugo Weaving tried a gram of "Charlie Sheen" and while his face melted off, no children wept over any exploded bodies."

A higher res fuller body shot of Hugo Weaving as Red Skull has come out. That small pic in EW just wasn't cutting it. :cool:

I'm amazed at how "real" this looks. Can't wait to see how this looks in motion and while he's talking.

Lord Voldemort WISHES he could look that awesome...

I like it, but if he's basically a skull, should he have those lips? Shouldn't his teeth be permanently exposed all the way?
 
Re: CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till rele

I know nothing about the character, but it looks like his face had the skin ripped off and was then left to heal that way, which is fucking gross, but also kind of awesome.

It's not literally a skull, at least not in the comics. He's more like a boiled lobster, with his skin baked tight over the bone. He still has skin and muscle since he's not a supernatural creature like Ghost Rider.

As I recall, Kirby and subsequent artist usually drew him with lips. It's just more expressive that way

Originally, it was just some kind of mask that Johann Schmidt wore. Then in the 80s he was disfigured and his face really DID become a skull thing.
