VFX Supervisor Edward Douglas Discusses Oz Perkins' The Monkey - Exclusive Interview

      EJ Moreno sits down with Edward Douglas to talk about the visual effects of The Monkey.

      Creating the visual aesthetic and style for a project like The Monkey is quite a challenge. Balancing the tone envisioned by Oz Perkins while highlighting some of the more outrageous deaths is a task that can be tedious, known only to those who have tackled it before. Therefore, having a conversation with Edward J. Douglas, the VFX supervisor for Perkins' latest project and a collaborator from their work on Longlegs, was a delight.

      In our discussion, we covered their collaboration and some of Douglas's early credits in the film industry, including a notably controversial Uwe Boll film.
