had a chance to talk to frankenstein creature designer mike hill about coming up with a new version of the monster, and also got this fun story about how he met guillermo del toro www.theverge.com/entertainmen...
For Mike Hill and Guillermo del Toro, it all started with Frankenstein. Years ago, Hill — a sculptor and special effects artist — was exhibiting his works at a convention in Burbank. Del Toro saw some of Hill’s monstrous creations on display and was so impressed that he decided to get in touch, tracking down Hill’s contact info from an obscure model kit forum. “I don’t know how he found me from some 20-year-old website,” says Hill, who describes del Toro’s investigation as “very Columbo-esque” work. “But he wrote to me, told me who he was, and asked to commission something.” That first commission turned out to be a sculpture of Boris Karloff having his makeup applied for the iconic 1931 version of Frankenstein, and it would go on to be displayed in the director’s famous Bleak House. “Immediately it was Frankenstein,” Hill says, “our very first job together.”

the correct way to cast a television show
a quote from pluribus and breaking bad creator vince gilligan: “Something about Rhea stood out where I thought, I want to work with her again. Just like years ago when I was doing X-Files, I knew I wanted to work with Bryan Cranston again. I basically tailored the part for Rhea. I wanted her to be a star, I figured it was long past time for her to be number one on the call sheet, and I wanted to be the person to get her there.”
