“You are on that razor’s edge digging into the darkness of this character, but also you have empathy for him.” We’re finally weeks away from the opening of this movie. How will it turn out? Will DC’s experiment in comic book horror be successful? WB & DC Studios debuted one final “Get Tickets Now” promo trailer for the Clayface movie, a standalone DC movie set in Gotham City. The first ever DC horror thriller, based on the comic book character of Clayface from the Batman universe. An eerie body horror story about an up-and-coming actor whose face is disfigured by a gangster. He turns to a scientist who transforms his body into clay. About “the loss of one’s identity and humanity, corrosive love, and the dark underbelly of scientific ambition.” Tom Rhys Harries stars as Matt Hagen who becomes “Clayface”, with Eddie Marsan, Max Minghella, Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Nancy Carroll, Joshua James. Produced by The Batman’s Matt Reeves and features a screenplay co-written by horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan. This final promo is a behind-the-scenes look, with Matt Reeves and DC’s James Gunn featured actually talking about crafting this and trying something completely new & different. I hope it’s good! There’s real potential in the concept! Even if the footage hasn’t been all that impressive yet… Will you go see Clayface when it hits theaters soon?
