If there is a movie that is recently in everyone’s mind, it is Bird Box. This movie by Susanne Bier’s is an amazing adaptation from Josh Malerman’s popular novel.
It tells a post-apocalyptic story of a woman struggling to survive “after a sinister presence leads most of society to end their own life,” offering a quite nerve-wracking and exciting journey with some fantastic performances.
However, given that these monsters actually play an important role in the movie, these are not seen or shown directly in any scene, the reason why many people wonder what they look like and how they could be.
And although the decision to never show these monsters was probably a correct choice in the end, even if it is shown to be a bit controversial for fans, it has not prevented people from imagining what they would look like.
But now, we do not have to imagine more, since the special effects studio SFX Atlas has released the following photo that gives the world a pretty good idea of the design that was going to be used since at one time the filmmakers planned to reveal them on screen.
A while ago, Sandra Bullock talked about the decision to show the creatures and said that when she first saw the design, it made her laugh.
“It was a green man with a horrible babyface. He was like a snake, and I said,” I don’t want to see him when it appears for the first time. Just bring it to the room. Let’s continue to the scene. I turn and he’s there [growling at me.] It’s making me laugh. He was just a long, fat baby. “
While we are sure that the spectators would not have laughed once all the VFX and post-production tweaks had been made in the creature’s design, it was a smart decision to keep the mystery intact and not show what these monsters really do…
What do you think? Would you have liked to have seen the creatures in Bird Box? Or are you happy they never showed up?
