VFX supervisor James Madigan, known for his work on films like Iron Man 2 and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, spoke about the project in the video, saying, “I just read the script and I’ve got to say, my head is still spinning.” Mike Elizalde, Artistic Director at Spectral Motion, added, “The script is seriously unlike anything I’ve ever read. It is the best of the best of what I would ever want to create.”
Academy Award winner Justin Raleigh, CEO of Fractured FX, said, “Reading through it, I’m very excited about all the potential creatures, all the different character possibilities.” William Wright Anderson, co-owner of Lola VFX — best known for Deadpool & Wolverine, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, and Stranger Things — added, “I cannot wait to be a part of this. I can’t wait to see what his vision does. The story is unbelievable.”
Sharing the video, Sun Pictures wrote: “Gear up for the Landmark Cinematic Event. #AA22xA6 – A Magnum Opus from Sun Pictures. @alluarjun @Atlee_dir #SunPictures #AA22 #A6.”
