Known for his intense work ethic, perfectionism, and obsession with breaking new ground, Steve Johnson has created iconic creatures and effects for some of the most beloved genre films in cinema history, working with everyone from John Carpenter, David Cronenberg, and Sam Raimi to James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, and Guillermo del Toro. His drive and ambition also led to heartbreaking acts of self-sabotage, divorce, and a serious drug addiction.
Over seven years in the making and stacked with incredible, never-before-seen archival footage, RUBBERHEAD: THE LIFE & MONSTERS OF STEVE JOHNSON is a revealing portrait of an immense talent who could also be his own worst enemy. Director Nick Taylor lets the artist – an enormously engaging raconteur – do much of the showing and telling (though the likes of Linnea Quigley, John Landis, Tom Holland, and Oscar-winner Bill Corso also contribute). RUBBERHEAD is at once a captivating reflection on the game-changing practical FX glory days when everything was unexplored ground primed for radical invention and a fascinating, moving story of an FX master whose greatest monster may have been himself.
