On his blog, Sandlot writer/director Evans writes, “I had several ‘GIANT THE BEAST PUPPETS’ built for the movie. One was a completely articulated ‘Giant The Beast Head’ and another was a full over-sized ‘Giant The Beast Puppet Suit’ brought to life by two brave puppeteers actually inside the suit. They were designed and built by my friend and puppeteer genius Rick Lazarini.”
