Watch: ILM’s Behind the Magic of the VFX in ‘The Creator’ Video Set

"If we find amazing locations, the science fiction elements will grow out of them." The VFX masters at ILM have released a series of videos about the behind-the-series of The Creator, the spectacular sci-fi movie by Gareth Edwards released lat year. The movie is nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects (and Best Sound), and all of the VFX studios have been promoting their work with new videos these past few weeks. For The Creator, ILM has released a series of breakdowns, along with a full-on conversation with all those involved, including on set supervisors and the ILM wizards at the studio in San Fran. ILM Originals & Director Chris Hawkinson bring you an inside look at the filmmakers and artists that brought The Creator to the big screen. It's fascinating to hear them explain all the work that went into making this movie look so good - "shots that would normally take months to do were happening in a few days." We also featured Weta Workshop's video on The Creator making the props & weapons right here. ...

First Look Trailer for Danish Prison Thriller ‘Sons’ from Gustav Möller

"We never enter a prisoner's cell alone!" Cinetic has unveiled a initial festival promo trailer for a new Danish dramatic thriller titled Sons, the latest from Danish filmmaker Gustav Möller. This is his second feature following the acclaimed film The Guilty, that film set entirely in a 9-1-1 dispatcher's office which first premiered at Sundance 2018 (and was remade into the film with Jake Gyllenhaal). Sons is premiering at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival in the Main Competition section, which means it might be one to watch for. Sons stars Sidse Babett Knudsen as an Idealistic prison officer Eva Hansen, who faces the dilemma of her life when a young man she knows from before is transferred to her prison. Also starring Sebastian Bull, Dar Salim, Marina Bouras, and Olaf Johannessen. Looks crazy intense! Obviously the mystery is about her connection to this person (is it her son?) and what's going on with him & her. Very interesting... I'm curious. Here's the first promo trailer (+ poster) for Gustav Möller's Sons, direct from Cinetic's YouTube: Intro from Berlinale: "The idealistic prison guard ...

Second Trailer for Alex Garland’s Harrowing ‘Civil War’ Action Movie

"You don't know what side they're fighting for..." This looks scary. A24 has unveiled the second trailer for Alex Garland's Civil War, his next new action thriller movie arriving in theaters this April. This trailer confirms - we really don't need this movie right now. This is the fourth film Garland has directed, following Ex Machina, Annihilation, and Men. The actual plot is still being kept a secret but it's obvious what is going on here - mainly that it's about a civil war in a near-future America. The excellent ensemble cast for Garland's Civil War film features Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Karl Glusman, Sonoya Mizuno, Jonica T. Gibbs, Jess Matney, plus Jesse Plemons. I really think this is a misguided, harmful movie that is glorifying the action that will happen in a civil war rather than being a movie trying to stop America from going this direction. I doubt it will actually change anyone's minds either. Sadly this does not look good. As usual, that's just my own take... What do you think? Here's the ...

Wedding-Gone-Wrong Shark Movie ‘Something in the Water’ Trailer

"Someone needs to swim for help." Studiocanal has revealed an official UK trailer for a shark horror movie titled Something in the Water, made by a VFX artist turned filmmaker named Hayley Easton Street. It's set for release in the UK in July this summer, though no US date confirmed yet. This all-female production is written by, directed by, produced by, and stars nothing but women. Awesome! "This summer, fear will find new depths." The survival thriller follows a group of five girlfriends who must fight for their lives in open water after a dream wedding transformed into a nightmare. Starring Hiftu Quasem, Lauren Lyle, Natalie Mitson, Nicole Rieko Setsuko, and Ellouise Shakespeare-Hart, as a group of friends on a holiday gone very wrong. It's always the same story in these shark movies, something goes wrong while out on the water. But this still looks pretty good! They'll never stop making more shark horror movies, will they? Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Hayley Easton Street's Something in the Water, from YouTube: An idyllic destination wedding turns into a battle for ...
