In Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson’s audacious fable Wicker, based on Ursula Wills-Jones’ short story, a lonely fisherwoman asks a local basketmaker to build her a husband. With prosthetic makeup and a fabricated suit by Wētā Workshop, her wish comes true.
The prosthetics in Wicker are, to our knowledge, the first of their kind in cinema. They are the culmination of almost two decades of work at our Workshop, spent developing the 3D manufacturing methods, alongside our extensive experience in prosthetic makeup design and fabrication, that made them possible.
From early concept design all the way to on set, discover how we turned actor Alexander Skarsgård into a Wicker Husband, and pushed our techniques into entirely new territory.
