ComingSoon spoke with Dragonslayer co-writer and director Matthew Robbins about the 1981 dark fantasy movie and its new rerelease.
. Robbins spoke about the process behind creating the dragon Vermithrax and working with Guillermo del Toro.
Oh, that was just great. I’m still in touch with him. He lives in Berkeley and I live in West Marin County, so it’s not that far. I think had been champing at the bit at ILM to do this kind of work. Hal Barwood and I, we had been around when George [Lucas] was creating ILM and we were pretty well acquainted with Phil, Dennis Muren, Ken Ralston, and Bruce Nicholson and all the lead players in this core group of ILM.
Hal Barwood and I had some very strong opinions on what we didn’t want in the dragon. We didn’t want a four-footed dragon, we wanted a two-footed dragon with claws on the end of the wings. But the ferocity, the pure nastiness of the face of Vermithrax and all the rest of that … David just managed to find exactly the right tonality. He was a really brilliant designer.
