Last week it was revealed that the terrifying monster comes from Nicolas Cageis the new horror thriller coming soon Arcadian was inspired by the classic Disney animated character Goofy.
We now have some concept art to share with you that has surfaced that shows the initial designs of the creature and it’s not hard to see Goofy’s influence in it.
Director Ben Brewer previously explained: “From the beginning, I had this idea of big nocturnal eyes and huge, spaced teeth, teeth too big for the creature’s mouth.”
He continued: “Goofy, the Disney character, was a great inspiration,” and then said that the incentive came mostly from a childhood fear, which was the scene in A silly movie where Goofy’s son Max has a nightmare about turning into his father.
Brewer said, “That’s where the Goofy thing comes in because in that movie, that dream sequence… it’s terrifying. It’s got too much personality. We gave our creatures too much personality because it would be weird to people.”
Brewer went on to talk about the film, saying, “The combination of organisms becomes a symbol of what can survive on Earth. If this horror show with all these strange attributes is the most competitive species now, then what does that say about our role?” like the species that takes care of the planet?”
In Arcadian“After a catastrophic event depopulates the world, a father and his two sons must survive their dystopian environment while being threatened by mysterious creatures that emerge at night.”
The story is set in the near future, where “normal life on Earth has been decimated. Paolo and his two sons, Tommaso and Giuseppe, live a half life: tranquility during the day and torment at night.
“Every night, after dark, they face the relentless attacks of a mysterious and violent evil. One day, when Thomas doesn’t return home before sunset, Paul must leave the safety of their fortified farmhouse to find him. A nightmarish battle ensues that forces the family to enact a desperate plan to survive.
The film is also the protagonist Jaeden Martell (IT), Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in space) AND Sadie in general (Destiny: the Winx saga).
Arcadian is currently in theaters.
