Speaking withScreenRant’s own Tessa Smith, Bautista discussedhow excited he was for his character to turn into a werewolf inIn the Lost Lands. He stated that turning into a werewolf was the main reason he wanted to star in the movie, and explained how the ending was filmed. The actor revealed that he didn’t have to wear any makeup for his werewolf role andthat the transformation was fully CGI. Read Bautista’s full comments below:
It’s all CGI. We didn’t do anything with makeup. They just had me do my thing and they wanted to see how I would do it. And I did it how I thought somebody would turn into a werewolf and started tweaking a little and changing my voice a little and started grunting and then kind of howling a little bit.
It was nothing but fun. This is why I’m in this business. This is what I love. This is why I wanted to play this character because I couldn’t wait to turn into a werewolf. This is the fanboy in me. These little moments, I live for. I loved it. I loved every second of it.
What Bautista’s Comments Mean For In The Lost Lands
In The Lost Lands Builds Up To Boyce’s Werewolf Transformation
InIn the Lost Lands, Jovovich’s Gray Alys is a witch who grants wishes. At the beginning of the film,the queen of the last functioning city in the world tasks her with giving her the power to transform into a wolf. To grant this wish, Gray Alys must journey into the Lost Lands and take the power from a shapeshifter. Ironically, she hires Boyce to be her guide since he is actually a shapeshifter inIn the Lost Lands. Therefore, Boyce turning into a werewolf at the end of the movie is a plot twist.

BeforeIn the Lost Lands, the married couple also collaborated on the 2020 movieMonster Hunterand theResident Evilfilm series.
