Update: Waller’s access pass photo has been taken down. This is because studios don’t want images of access passes circulated publicly for fear that people will create fake ones.
The Stephen King book-to-film adaptation of The Dark Tower is known to be shooting soon in South Africa and it appears that some of the behind-the-scenes crew are already hard at work on the project, as evidenced by Instagram photos (some already removed) from Chad Waller, which can be seen below. The photo simply shows an access pass with Waller assigned to the “prosthetics” department.
Waller works for Organic Canvas, a South African-based practical FX company and from the looks of other projects he’s worked on (some photos below), he’s seriously talented at creating some horrific works of macabre art that horror fans will certainly appreciate!
Now, I know that it may seem like this photo doesn’t count as being newsworthy. However, having been on several movie sets, I know that everyone who is a part of a film is just as passionate, dedicated, and invested as the major names we always look at first, like the main stars or the director. Furthermore, us horror fans love practical FX, so if we get the chance to showcase someone who works in that field and puts out amazing quality content, then I’m happy to give them the spotlight for a little bit!
In addition, “Vikings” star Katheryn Winnick has joined the adaptation being directed by Nikolaj Arcel. She joins Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey, Jackie Earl Haley, and Abbey Lee with a release set for February 17, 2017.
Additionally, here’s a fun photo from Sonia Couto, who explains that the reason she was on set was because she was “tutoring”.
