The movie’s costume was designed by Michael Wilkisnson and Syren Couture, a L.A. based production house specialized in latex and leather designs for more than 17 years (they created the unforgettable Michelle Pfeiffer/Catwoman suit for “Batman Returns” as well).

FEMALE FIGHTER FRANCESCA ZAPITELLI AS SEXY CORTANA

In March 2008, the company I4U LLC (who’s running the website I4U News, a Technology Life Style Magazine and Shopping Guide) hired Francesca “Frankie” Zapitelli, a 24-year-old L.A.-based wrestling fighter and model, to embody Cortana (a fictionnal articially intelligent charcater from the video game series “Halo”).

For this photoshoot, “Gadget model of the month” Francesca posed with a Halo 3 Covenant Plasma Rifle. According to the photographer Glenn Francis (of Pacific Pro Digital) on the TeamXBox forum: “She was nude during the shoot. She had oil on her body. The white streaks was glitter...”

“...Although I made the designs on her body with medium blue make-up, it turned out a mess. Fortunately it all disappeared when I changed her skin tone to light blue in Photoshop. The dark blue markings were done by outlining the area then darkening it with the Photoshop levels slider.”

Besides her Official Website, and her MySpace page, Francesca is also running the non-profit organization Super Girl Alliance.
