A brand new Leatherface is coming to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre video game, and this time around the game is paying tribute to the 2003 remake of the original horror classic.

Yes, we’re getting a Remake Leatherface skin! This marks the very first time that any elements from the 2003 Platinum Dunes remake have made their way into Gun’s video game.

Gun previews, “Lots of time and effort was dedicated to authentically capturing this unique version of Leatherface featuring a new hairstyle, a new execution, and a new chainsaw.

“Originally crafted by special effects artist Scott Stoddard, this mask has the appearance of multiple layers of skin from Leatherface’s Victims sewn together with leather cord. Alongside hand-glued hair from Stoddard, this mask is supposed to give the impression of how much this version of Leatherface cares about the faces he’s wearing. Players will be able to notice...

“Maestro” did well at the Makeup Artists & Hair Stylists Guild on Feb. 18 winning two of its three bids. It claimed the prizes for both period/character makeup and special effects races but lost period/character hairstyling to “Barbie,” which was snubbed by the Oscars. Likewise for “Saltburn,” which won both contemporary makeup and hairstyling.

Of this year’s other Oscar nominees, “Poor Things” lost all three of its bids just hours after pulling off an upset at the BAFTAs, “Golda” and “Oppenheimer” were each defeated in a single race while “Society of the Snow” was snubbed by the guild.

These wins boost the odds for “Maestro” to prevail at the Academy Awards. In the decade-long history of these guild honors, there has been just one year when an Muahs winner did not go on to claim the Oscar for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.

That was two years ago: “Coming 2 America...

The Oscar-frontrunning “Maestro” was the big winner at the 11th annual Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards (held February 18 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel). Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein opus took period/character makeup and special makeup effects. This puts “Maestro” in the Oscar driver’s seat (led by two-time winner Kazu Hiro) against “Poor Things,” “Oppenheimer,” “Golda,” and “Society of the Snow.”

Two non-Oscar competitors, “Saltburn”and “Barbie,” split the other wins: Emerald Fennell’s psychological thriller grabbed both contemporary makeup and hairstyling, while Greta Gerwig’s billion-dollar blockbuster snagged period/character hairstyling.

TV winners, meanwhile, were divided among “The Idol” (contemporary makeup), “The Crown” (period/character makeup), “The Last of Us” (special makeup effects), “The Morning Show” (contemporary hairstyling), and “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” (period/character hairstyling).

As previously announced, Annette Bening (Best Actress nominee for “Nyad”) received the Distinguished Artisan Award, and Oscar- and Emmy-winning make-up...

The guild held its 11th annual awards ceremony Sunday night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

The night kicked off with the honoree awards being presented. Oscar-nominated actor Annette Bening was honored with the Distinguished Artisan award. However, due to Covid, Diana Nyad accepted the award on her behalf.

The first awards for daytime TV had a “Moonlight” “La La Land” moment when an envelope mixup resulted in the winners for hairstyling being read out instead of makeup and the team from “The Young and the Restless” came...

Of the 10 films that remain in the running for Best Makeup and Hairstyling at the Oscars, only four are vying for these precursor prizes: three-time nominee “Maestro,” two-time contender “Poor Things” plus “Golda” and “Oppenheimer.”

A half dozen films still in contention at the Academy Awards — “Beau Is Afraid,” “Ferrari,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “The Last Voyage of the Demeter,” “Napoleon” and “Society of the Snow” — were snubbed by the guild.

On the TV side, “The Idol,” “Ahsoka,” “The Last of Us,” “The Crown,” and “Star Trek: Picard” are among the nominees. A tie in the Best Special Make-Up Effects TV category makes for six nominees as opposed to the typical five.

Bradley Cooper’s Netflix Leonard Bernstein drama Maestro collected noms for period and/or character makeup, period hairstyling and/or character hair styling and special makeup effects.

The Muahs Guild’s feature nominees vary quite bit from this season’s Oscar shortlist for the category. In fact, Guardians 3 was already snubbed in the makeup and hairstyling Oscar race, failing to make the shortlist of 10 films that advanced to the upcoming branch bake-off.

The films shortlisted for the makeup and hairstyling Oscar are Maestro; Poor Things,...

“Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” captured the top period feature prizes for makeup and hairstyling at the 8th annual Muahs Guild Awards Saturday night, making it the prohibitive Oscar favorite for the dramatic transformation of Viola Davis as the titular pioneering blues singer. Davis, who landed her fourth Oscar nomination as the sexy, subversive Rainey — the most of any Black actress — was boldly uncompromising in demanding verisimilitude for Netflix’s adaptation of the August Wilson play. Davis was fitted with gold teeth, charcoal-like makeup, and a wig made of horsehair.

Winning both contemporary makeup and hairstyling feature honors at the virtual ceremony was Warner Bros./DC’s “Birds of Prey. He recreated the look of real wooden puppets for the titular hero (played by (Federico Ielapi) and his theater friends by using every prosthetic technique available.

Meanwhile, in what could be a preview of the Emmy race, Netflix’s buzzy “The Queen’s Gambit...

The Make-Up Artists & Hairstylists Guild held its eighth annual Muahs Awards Saturday night in a virtual ceremony.

Oscar frontrunner in the make-up and hair category “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” took home the feature-length motion picture awards for best period and/or character make-up and best period hairstyling and/or character hairstyling, while fan-favorite “Bridgerton” won best period and/or character hairstyling in a television series, television limited or miniseries or television new media series.

In the best make-up category for commercials and music videos, the team behind Lady Gaga’s looks for her “911” video won, beating out Post Malone and Justin Bieber. Sarah Tanno, Mike Mekash, Eryn Krueger Mekash took home the award.

The guild lauded its winners in daytime television, recognizing “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” Television series winners included “The Queen’s Gambit,” “The Mandalorian,” “Schitt’s Creek” and “Westworld.”

Eddie Murphy was the recipient of the distinguished artisan award.

After the cruelest year and amid the weirdest awards season in memory, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and Birds of Prey applied two wins apiece to lead the film side of the eighth annual Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards.

With Birds of Prey not among the five nominees for Best Makeup & Hairstyling at the Academy Awards this month, Netflix’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom has emerged as the Oscar front-runner.

Pinocchio scored the night’s final prize for Best Special Make-Up Effects in a Feature at the virtual ceremony held Saturday.

This is the second year for the Makeup and Hairstylists Guild joining the awards game, and they've been a welcome addition to the circuit. They spread their nods thin across a number of categories, but it's a good window into what this branch digs, for sure. This year, the only two films on the Academy's bake-off list of finalists that didn't garner any recognition were "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and "Noah." Meaning "Foxcatcher," "The Grand Budapest Hotel," "Guardians of the Galaxy," "Maleficent" and "The Theory of Everything" were each represented in one form or another. Meanwhile, "Guardians of the Galaxy" led with the most mentions at three, while "The Grand Budapest Hotel," "Interstellar" and "Into the Woods" each got a pair. As previously announced, Oscar-winning make-up artist Rick Baker and Emmy-nominated hair stylist Kathryn Blondell will receive the Guild's Lifetime Achievement Awards.

The racing movie has been a staple of Hollywood filmmaking for years. From classics such as Le Mans to the modern-day Fast & Furious franchise, there have always been racing movies and there have always been racing movie fans… The latest entry into the racing film genre is Death Race 3: Inferno, which continues the fight to the death Car-nage that the series is famous for. In honour of that films release of, we decided to take a look at the Top 10 Best Racing Films.

10) Initial D: Drift Racer

18-year-old Takumi (Jay Chou) delivers tofu for his hard-drinking dad, and works part time at his best friend’s garage. When he is unexpectedly asked to drive in an upcoming race, Takumi’s shock victory opens up a whole new world of possibilities, and his overnight fame is soon leading him to even more hellraising and dangerous races. But as Takumi pushes...

If you went and saw Friday the 13th over the weekend, that was the big question. If you bought Neca's 19-inch Jason Voorhees figure (released about two weeks ago), you could get a good idea of what FX artist Scott Stoddard had in store for the film. But now we've got photographic evidence of his complete Jason makeup that was shot for the film before the footage wound up on cutting room floor. Marcus Nispel explains why he opted to make Jason's "unmasking" a bit of a mystery at the end of our interview here . This footage will likely wind up on the DVD when it arrives this summer.

This Friday, February 13, Crystal Lake’s favorite son comes home. Every horror fan on the planet is curious about the Friday The 13th re-envisioning, with devotees of Jason’s previous adventures practically foaming at the mouth.

When Fango visits the film’s sweltering Texas set for a glimpse of the mighty Mr. Voorhees in action, everyone on hand is bursting with enthusiasm for the project, and seems to be in disbelief that they’re actually part of making it happen. Indeed, it’s a tall order…no one has ever dared tackle a new version of slasherdom’s most epic tale, which makes for some mighty big shoes to fill. And there’s no possible way that a group of people more dedicated to the task could have been assembled.

Traditionally, producers are the “grown-ups” keeping everything in line, but no one here can escape the fever. “I get excited...

Scott Stoddard is the man with the mask, Jason Voorhees mask to be exact and he's in charge of it for the new Friday The 13th film.

{sidebar id=1}He literally has a case lined with soft foam and in it lies the mask itself. Jason's mask is probably the most well known visage of all time of the fabled Hollywood serial killer line-up and needs constant care and supervision.

Stoddard isn't only in charge of the mask, that's just a small part of what he does. Trained under the skillful eye of Stan Winston, Stoddard created the new Jason Voorhees . a scarier, dirtier, more sinister looking Voorhees for the new film.

We spoke with Stoddard on the set of the new Friday The 13th, the complete interview is below,

Q: On the look of the new mask.

Scott Stoddard: I like the mask from Part three and four,...

It’s obviously no coincidence that MTV today posted a report from a set visit of Marcus Nispel’s “Friday the 13th” remake. After all, it’s Friday, June 13!

MTV’s Tera Heater describes what she experienced on the set, including her thoughts on the all-new Jason Voorhees mask, which has now officially been revealed! It doesn’t look that different from the original, but it sure brings back some memories.

Here’s a tiny excerpt from what Heater has to say about it: “The new mask was held in a thick plastic suitcase by special makeup effects artist Scott Stoddard and treated as if it were the Holy Grail. When it was revealed, I could have sworn a heavenly light shone from the foam that held it safely in place, and the goat cried a little louder.” Read the complete set report on MTV.com right here, or watch...

>During an interview with Derek Mears, he tells us that he wasn't the only person in the running to play Jason Voorhees in Platinum Dunes' modern version of Friday The 13TH. "It was me and Chris Nelson from The Tripper," Mears tells Bloody-Disgusting on the set in Austin, Texas. "Chris is a good friend of mine. It was really weird because I heard a bunch of different stories, like people from different areas of the industry are like, 'Dude, I dont know if it helped at all but I put in a good word with Brad and Andrew.' Like, thats the guy you want. What I heard was that Scott Stoddard, they really trust him, and he went, 'Here are the two dudes that I think would be great. Youre asking my opinion? I wont decide, these are the two guys that can do the part.' " In the...
