One of the many films I'm dying to see this year as a makeup artist is 'Hitchcock'. Sir Anthony Hopkins alone makes this a must-see for me, you don't get to be a 'Sir' for making rubbish films. But the part that really grabs my attention is the fact Howard Berger is crating the prosthetic makeup.
For years now, I have admired Berger's work, so much so I wrote a uni essay about his career. He's transformed people into a variety of creatures from the horrors of "The Hills Have Eyes" to the fantasies of "The Chronicles of Narina: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe".
This article from Co.Create gives a really good insight into the challenges a makeup artist can come across whilst working on a film. The video at the end is definitely worth a watch if you're interested in seeing the application process of the makeup.

It's an obvious watch for me this year, hope you all enjoy it, let me know what you think if you get a chance to see it!
