While talking with On-screen rant, Speedman and Strahovski discuss the impressive detail of practical effects that brings Cupmonstrous threat to life.

Strahovski was also impressed and emphasized how this helped create the exciting nature of the series. Read Speedman and Strahovski’s comments below:

Speedman: I mean, for me, one of the first things I did was, I think, with a character from one of the early episodes. What was cool and what was amazing was that I wasn’t looking at a tennis ball on a tripod or some sort of green screen. Most of it was practical effects that, you know, were detailed later so we actually had something awesome to work with. I’ve done so much at this point in my career that it doesn’t mean much to me.

But I thought the artistry of it all was just stunning to me. Whether it was grotesque or not, scary or not, it wasn’t the most interesting thing. I was more interested in, “Wow, the craftsmanship of what these people did was amazing.” And the fact that we had to watch it was incredible. It’s always fun. At the end of the day, you kind of just have to jump off the cliff and go with the madness that’s happening in front of you. And it was very easy to do this with these props.

Strahovsky: Yes, I think I’m a little late in seeing this amazing, I’ll call it a sculpture because it’s a work of art. This is an amazing sculpture, and my first reaction was: I was truly shocked. We drove around the block, saw a lot of similar things, and this one just took my breath away. I thought it was extraordinary, I can’t believe what they came up with.

Because I remember reading it and the description in words was, “Wow.” But my first thought was, “How are they going to create this? What will it look like visually?” It seemed like such a challenge because it’s hard to make it not seem cheesy or just unrealistic, even though it’s a truly fantastic element of the show. But they really pulled it off to such an extent that I was just shocked.

Meanwhile, Cupthe monster will be visually more terrifying and will not take the form of a man. In addition to Speedman and Strahovski’s comments, Cup The trailer builds anticipation around the monster’s form by deliberately not revealing it yet, only hinting at it.

Despite this expectation, Speedman’s comments that he saw the monster’s effects during “I’m one of the first to do it” assumes that The monster’s form may be revealed in an early episode Cup Season 1.
