CoastLine: Film Special Effects Coordinator Will Purcell on Home Alone, why the death of Brandon Lee affected him so deeply, and how film is likely to change
After watching his dad work in special effects for years, Will Purcell started his career on a Chuck Norris film in 1984: Invasion USA. He went on to work on dozens of productions, including The Crow, Scream 5, Gerald’s Game, The Strangers, Cabin Fever 2, Under the Dome, Young Guns, and Max Steel. He counts himself lucky, he says, because he plays for work. It’s never the same old grind at the office, and he often makes it up as he goes along.
