Throughout the course of the 2010s, upwards of fifty films were nominated by the Oscars for Best Special Effects, including acclaimed films like Inception, Prometheus, Interstellar, The Revenant and Avengers: Endgame. These movies were cinematic masterpieces that managed to capture the technical nuances of CGI and visual effects, while also furthering the emotive core that underpins all well-crafted storylines. Unfortunately, none of those films contained fish-related natural disasters, possessed animatronic demon babies, or an unwanted James Corden playing an especially fat CGI cat....

Tim Story, the director of Fantastic Four and The Silver Surfer has updated his official production blog, and talks about the Fantasticar: Al’ight. I’m in town for a couple of meetings (Translation: I’m over budget and something’s gotta go…don’t worry.

President Donald Trump will surely not like the fact that fake news just got a big boost in technology. The Deepfake app came to popularity earlier this year when users were taking the A.I. technology and putting Nicholas Cage into classic movies, including pasting his face onto Lois Lane in Man of Steel. The results were often humorous and creepy at the same time, but a new video of President Trump’s face pasted on Alec Baldwin with his famous impression is probably the best, and scariest, one yet....

And since they often grab far more eyeballs than prestige content, their impact is also worth having a dialogue about....

From the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen to the rhyming works of Dr. Seuss and his army of creations, children’s stories have long fascinated audiences and inspired Hollywood.

First there was the news that there’d be a slasher horror Winnie the Pooh movie, titled Blood & Honey, where the lovable bear turns into a demented monster....
