VFX artists respond to The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, finding the sole saving grace of the much-maligned Alan Moore comic book movie.
Despite being lambasted by critics and disowned by original comic creator Alan Moore, VFX artists have praised the use of practical effects in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Loosely based on Moore’s comic series of the same name, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen followed a group of famous 19th-century literary characters reimagined as a team of Victorian-era superheroes.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT During a recent episode of Corridor Crew’s “VFX Artists React” series, the trio of VFX artists spent some time discussing the techniques used to create the sequence in which Stuart Townsend’s Dorian Gray races through the collapsing streets of Venice. At first, wondering whether the scene relied on CGI to recreate the unfolding destruction, it was instead revealed that intricately detailed 1/5 scale miniatures produced the effects.
Will The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Reboot Fare Better Than The Original? Despite opening against the box office juggernaut Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen managed to gross over $179 million at the worldwide box office during its 2003 theatrical run.
Once intended to jumpstart its own continuing franchise, all hopes for a sequel were quashed quickly after The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen’s debut. However, in 2015, it was reported that 20th Century Fox was developing a reboot, which was intended to be female-led and more in keeping with the original comics’ focus on the Dracula character Mina Murray.
