Saddest thing are the artists these days that use the blu-rays as color reference for their work.
Are Jodie Whittaker and the new ‘Doctor Who’ showrunner leaving already?
I decided to start another rewatch of Star Trek: The Next Generation and I’d forgotten that ILM did effects work on that series. Still holds up too.
‘ALL Doctor Who Title Sequences (UPDATED) | Doctor Who’…
Awesome!
Yeah, season 4 is such a slap in the face huh?
It’s why I don’t recommend the show and gave up on Bad Robot TV productions after this and LOST.
Here’s my original series review if you’re interested.
The way they’re doing the Discovery version of the Enterprise would have been tolerable.
What they did not only to the design of the Klingons but their culture as well in season 1 absolutely precludes it being part of the Prime Timeline.
And that’s ignoring the ridiculous Star Wars holograms throughout the series.
They could never make Discovery if they were beholden to the aesthetic of the 60s, but some people don’t want a change in precedence.
And that’s why it shouldn’t have been set when it’s set. Nothing about it aside from who her adopted parents are necessitate it being set pre-TOS.
And if they really wanted her tied to Vulcan they could have made her Spock’s adopted daughter instead of sister.
OVERLORD (2018)
Intense, visceral, well paced. Best Bad Robot production since 10 Cloverfield Lane.
Hartnell has a lot of presence that Jodie just can’t match (and I don’t really think any who have followed him have).
You haven’t seen much of Troughton have you?
I’m sorry but Duck Soup is perfect.
This.
They’ve mined Underworld for a number of concepts already throughout the various projects Disney has overseen. However, if this report is true. I wouldn’t mind it never seeing the light of day.
ILM did just set up a television division. If anyone can figure it out, they can.
(I am not planning to remove Chewie walking past Leia at the end, since I kind of like this weird quirk, even if only for its probably accidental mirroring of Leia screwing over Chewie at the end of ANH.)
Oh well, looking forward to checking out the new changes!
I love that they’re avoiding the Jedi and the Force. The Galaxy is so much bigger than that.
The rousing spy thriller will explore tales filled with espionage and daring missions to restore hope to a galaxy in the grip of a ruthless Empire.
YES.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Industrial Light & Magic expanding its offering of best-in-class visual effects and animation services to include the streaming and episodic television market with a new division: ILM TV. The division will be based out of ILM’s new 47,000 square foot London studio and supported by the company’s global locations in San Francisco, Vancouver and Singapore.
The ILM TV team will be lead by Visual Effects Supervisors Hayden Jones and Jonathan Privett alongside Executive Producers, Louise Hussey and Stefan Drury. Previously, the team set up and oversaw DNEG’s television division; winning a BAFTA for Special, Visual and Graphic Effects for their work on BLACK MIRROR.
ILM TV’s first projects will be Lucasfilm’s eagerly anticipated live action series based in the Star Wars universe, THE MANDALORIAN, being developed by Jon Favreau and Superman prequel series KRYPTON, now in its second season, based on DC characters from Warner Horizon Scripted Television for SYFY.
“It’s not often you get to create a new division at Industrial Light & Magic”, explained Rob Bredow, Executive Creative Director and Head of ILM, “We are seeing a real convergence in our creative approach used on films and in our immersive entertainment division ILMxLAB, and now we’re proud to be able to offer these ILM innovations in a way that’s suitable for streaming and television work to creatives around the world.”
ILM’s legacy in television dates back to the studio’s revolutionary and Emmy award-winning work for THE YOUNG INDIANA JONES CHRONICLES, which brought feature film quality effects to an episodic series for the first time.“We are extremely excited to be re-igniting ILM’s involvement in this market and to showcase the team’s expertise, unrivaled technology and production management globally.” adds VFX Supervisor Hayden Jones, “The television and streaming segments have grown exponentially in recent years and we are seeing substantial demand for high calibre visual effects that can be delivered on schedule and within budget, all of which lie at the core of our teams expertise and proven track record.”
ILM TV will offer producers and showrunners access to Industrial Light & Magic’s legendary VFX talent, infrastructure and technology combined with a fresh approach to visual effects, designed to suit the condensed production schedules and rapid turnaround times that episodic series and online streaming programs demand.
I’ve really enjoyed the last couple of episodes. I’d dare to say that nuWho has finally reached Big Finish’s level of quality.
It’s something I’ve proposed before but I don’t have the time to try and figure it out myself. Would love if someone did attempt it though.
The Last Jedi Re Edit Full First Trailer
To call this ambitious would be putting it mildly.
Is it good? Too early to say, is it better than Moffat? Yes.
Doesn’t really matter, there’s zero crossover there. Watching concurrently would highlight how ridiculous Voyager is though. =P
For anyone that’s curious, here’s a tour of the new TARDIS console room.
I very much think that the Skywalker Saga is definitely over after IX. However I don’t think it will be the end of numbered episodes. And by that I mean, I think we’ll see the start of new “sagas” with their own numberings.
First Man (2018)
Gorgeously shot film, should win an Oscar for that alone. An interesting character study of Neil Armstrong.
Frankly that’s not surprising. EA’s handling of the license has been absolutely terrible. Their exclusivity deal should be pulled.
