Mickey 17 Creepers Were Inspired by Sea Lions and Squid to Feel Believable
'Mickey 17' VFX Supervisor Dan Glass describes the process of creating the Creepers.
‘Mickey 17’ follows a group of people on a space mission to colonize Niflheim, an ice-covered planet that’s home to a set of crawling, roly-poly type creatures that also, as one character notes, look like croissants. The leader of the mission, Kenneth Marshall (Mark Ruffalo), calls the inhabitants “Creepers.” When it came to designing them, visual effects supervisor Dan Glass told Variety they needed to feel both “horrific and terrifying.” Anna Mouglalis, the actor who voices the Mama Creeper, was present during the filming period with a megaphone or speaker and “delivering the lines when we were shooting those scenes so that already gave it a lot of that weight and character,” Glass said.
