Special Features:
  • "Right or Wrong" (20:17, HD) is an interview with creature makeup effects supervisor Shane Mahan, who shares his fandom of the original cinematic incarnation of "The Island of Dr. Moreau," 1932's "Lost Souls," creating a familiarity with the material and inspiration to do something in this world. Early meetings with director Richard Stanley established monster concepts, with Mahan beginning work on the details of the creatures, also exploring how the actors helped to define their roles through ideas, including Ron Perlman, who wanted to play blind. The interviewee discusses the change in directors, with John Frankenheimer electing to shoot fast and in the brightness of day, diminishing the initial artistic vision. Tales of Marlon Brando's participation in the picture are offered, with Mahan making early contact with the actor, who was interested in generating his own bizarre take on Dr. Moreau. Mahan refuses to go into the "troubles" of the shoot, returning to memories of the production, highlighting the presence of Nelson de la Rosa, as Brando was completely obsessed with the short performer.
  • "The Making of 'The Island of Dr. Moreau'" (5:27, SD) is an EPK featurette exploring the basics of production while sharing movie promotion language, offering interviews with actors Val Kilmer (who's wearing sunglasses and a hat) and Davd Thewlis, Digital Domain CEO Scott Ross, and makeup effects supervisor Stan Winston. Deep-dive information about the creation of "The Island of Dr. Moreau" isn't offered here, but there are glimpses of BTS footage, watching the cast and crew prepare shots. Test images from visual effects and makeup achievements are also included.
