Riley Keough, Jesse Eisenberg Spent Two Hours Transforming Into Bigfoot With ‘Tons of Fur’ for Absurdist Sundance Movie ‘Sasquatch Sunset’
Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough spent hours in makeup transforming into Bigfoot in "Sasquatch Sunset," screening at Sundance.
They spent several hours in the makeup chair to don the elaborate prosthetics needed to play two of the eponymous creatures in “ Sasquatch Sunset,” a surreal comedic drama that premieres on Thursday at the Sundance Film Festival. “We would arrive — and I would have to shave everything on my face — and then it was two hours in the chair applying hair, makeup and fur, and then climbing into a costume that was specifically made for us,” said Christophe Zajac-Denek, who also stars in the film as one of the mythical beasts, at the Variety Studio presented by Audible. With the feature-length movie, which is backed by Bleecker Street, their influences ranged from Terrence Malick’s 1978 period drama “Days of Heaven,” the Dawn of Man sequence in Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “Planet of the Apes.”
