A new 'Wednesday' featurette shows the magic behind bringing Thing to life.
Even though Netflix’s Addams Family adaptation Wednesday has been out for a couple of weeks now, the internet still can’t get enough of this murderously fun series. Wednesday is currently in the middle of breaking every Netflix record imaginable and, since the series debuted this past Thanksgiving, the streamer hasn’t been shy about what went into making this version of Wednesday Addams a modern classic.
At first glance, it would be safe to assume that Thing was fully a CGI creation. Understandably so given the current filmmaking landscape, but fans were shocked and pleasantly surprised when Netflix revealed recently that Thing was actually played by an actor. In this latest behind-the-scenes look Ortega said working with Dorobantu was like working with any other actor when it came to reacting and speaking to them throughout each scene.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Wednesday’s VFX Supervisor Tom Turnbull also talked about his first phone call with director Tim Burton. The famous director known for his classic macabre sensibilities wanted Thing to be an actor or performer. This required someone with “nimble fingers” and youthful enough to fit into the show’s high school antics. However, the biggest takeaway from this video was the reveal that Dorobantu has never been an actor before.
Wednesday and Thing, to Wednesday’s dismay, are now bona fide internet sensations. While fans anxiously wait for a Season 2 renewal, you can watch the full Thing-centric BTS featurette down below. Wednesday Season 1 is streaming on Netflix now.
