One of the props I'm the most proud of. The game board for Zathura was a hero element of the movie, really a character in itself in the film, as it was itself the main antagonist! Production designer Mike Riva and director Jon Favreau wanted something that evoked a classic tin-plate wind-up toy, complete with crimped and rolled sheet-metal edges and crude, off-register silkscreened graphics. Propmaster Russell Bobbit did a truly spectacular job bringing this prop to life, managing to fit a functioning chain-driven mechanism into the full-size hero prop so it could perform all its functions in-camera.
