This is about a modern film, but specifically about make-up, so I hope it's acceptable here.
Okay, this is the story I've heard. Wes Craven's Cursed. It came out a few years ago. And I recall stories at the time that Rich Baker had done some incredible practical werewolf effects, only to see all the work scrapped in favor of CGI werewolf effects. Baker was so angered by this that he quit the film and retired from film rather than shoot again.
Is this the story everybody else heard, or did something else happen? And did footage ever show up of the effects he was working on? And did he really retire?
