Don't Order the Sushi! First Image From The Host Online! *** UPDATE ***

This looks very good indeed. And seeing how I loved Memories of murder I will be picking this one up fo sho.

that would be a bone-eating horror, first seen in 1965's "Island of Terror," starring the mighty Peter Cushing. Notice, in this photo, the extreme bonelessness of the man who has been pulped by the monster. They make a sound like pop rocks when consuming your skeleton. Cool!

I had forgotten about this film until the last post about it here - it's quickly shot to the top of my must-see list for South Korea this year (along with the new SYMPATHY film, THE DUELIST, and A BITTERSWEET LIFE).

Oh and I think it's some type of radioactive waste-affected lizard.

That's not FX, it's real!!! Very nice picture, at last a good lovecraftian criature at cinema.

Scroll down, special effects NOT by WETA.

Well, the must have pulled out really late because the Korean production comapny sent out press releases saying WETA was working on it ...

I got an e-mail from WETA the other day too...

Unfortunately it seems this posting has carried incorrect information in that Weta Digital are not signed to undertake the digital effects for this project. Weta Workshop did have some early discussions about the possibility of working on the film, but due to timing and previous commitments were not able to work on the project beyond assisting with supervising a creature sculpture and molding it.

So they had something to do with it but just couldn't commit in the long run. Darn.

It would've been cool for Weta to collaborate on this project, but regardless, that image is still fantastic.
