Promoting the ‘Dark Side’
Netflix has really upped the game with the launch of ‘Wednesday’. The show has a dark humor to it which everyone is really enjoying. Netflix was sure to use dark humor in its marketing gimmicks.
The OTT platform put up hoardings all over starring Wednesday & Thing spreading their darkness all around.
Thing: CGI or Human?
While the hand has been garnering all the attention on social media, did you know that Thing isn’t some well-crafted CGI or animated creation? It is played by a real person.
A new video by Netflix explains how executive producer/director Tim Burton required a whole man to be hired to portray the character.
Romanian magician Victor Dorobantu, who had never acted before was signed on as Thing.
