A lengthy and detailed 51-page document on the actors and actresses starring in Goblet of Fire has hit WB's publicity website. Of particular interest on Mad-Eye Moody:
“You seldom find an actor of Brendan’s depth and calibre,” adds Newell, who previously worked with Gleeson on the 1992 family adventure Into the West.
“Perhaps it’s true of all Irishmen, but Brendan has an elemental quality to him that is part savage and part wide-eyed innocent, which suited him well in playing this multifaceted character.” Moody’s piercing blue mechanical eye was created for the production by creature effects supervisor Nick Dudman and visual effects supervisor Jimmy Mitchell. “The eye became a character in itself,” Newell says, “although to reveal exactly how we created it would spoil the illusion for audiences.”
On the Hungarian Horntail scenes:
“We’ve taken the dragon chase well beyond the book,” visual effects supervisor Jimmy Mitchell elaborates. “We really show Harry’s prowess on a broom as the Horntail chases him out of the arena and up through mountains, viaducts and rooftops, and all across the school grounds.”
There are lots of new facts throughout, and it is a great read for anyone craving some behind-the-scenes bits on sets, costumes and more. A Microsoft Word version of it can be downloaded at this link. Thanks to HPANA for the tip!
