“We joined forces with our partners to find a turnkey solution for filmmakers to interface with our team to place his or her characters anywhere in the world in real-time and interactively,” said Frank Patterson, president and CEO of Pinewood Atlanta Studios. Patterson emphasized that the LED-stage capability is intended as much for indie filmmakers as the MCU and TV series. The group’s first installment of this technology at Pinewood Atlanta can be expanded to fit any production need, as well as be transferred to any stage on the lot....

“Given that Poupelle is made up of over 100 pieces of garbage, animating in 3D was a necessity,” said Hirota. “We actually tried to make this film in 2D, but the facial expressions for Poupelle were difficult to achieve until we started doing it in 3D. Likewise, the backgrounds of Chimney Town, with its numerous tall buildings and dense crowds surrounded by smoke couldn’t be achieved using 2D.” In a factory town that has been surrounded by chimney smoke for so long that none of its citizens can recall the sky and where the secret police makes anyone who dares imagine an outside world disappear, a kid dreams of seeing “stars,” far away celestial objects considered a myth....

For Joy’s feature directorial debut, “Reminiscence,” the newly minted filmmaker is approaching both the interior and the exterior with creative verve. The future-set film plays out in a flooded, crumbling Miami that will offer plenty of striking locations (the apocalypse never looked quite so lush) in tandem with the heady ideas at its center: what if you could literally disappear back inside your memories? That’s what star Hugh Jackman does, cast here as a Nick Bannister, a P....

The series follows a sociopathic genius scientist who drags his inherently timid grandson on insanely dangerous adventures across the universe.

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Shailene Woodley talks about her break from the limelight, grappling with health issues, and her upcoming role. But she also speaks about her approach to filming movie sex scenes, which were demanded by “Endings, Beginnings,” and how she prefers, as THR’s Rebecca Keegan puts it, “realism over modesty.” “I’ve never felt uncomfortable doing intimate scenes because I’m very vocal,” Woodley said. “I always sit down and talk with the director, the other actor....

“I suffer from extreme clinical depression, so it’s been a bit of a challenge,” said Daniel C Kennedy, who plays VIP two. “Initially, I was gutted by the comments but, with time and distance and some honest self-reflection, I’ve been better able to filter the feedback into the stuff I can use to improve next time, versus the stuff that is bound to come when you’re part of a project that gets global recognition....

Kirk’s final line of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” sums up what most people think of “Star Trek.” That it’s about exploration, seeking out new life and new civilizations. “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” the latest entry in Paramount+’s burgeoning constellation of series based on Gene Roddenberry’s beloved franchise, would seem to be a part of that. It’s right there in the title! But thankfully, it’s more than that too. “Star Trek” has always exceeded what other sci-fi franchises are willing to do whenever it looks inward....
