Gemini Man Is Attempting a Once-Thought-to-Be Impossible Feat of Visual Effects

Ang Lee’s new film Gemini Man is the ultimate gamble. Not because of the story. Not because of the stars. And not because of the subject matter. It’s because it’ll ask audiences to do something they’ve never done before. To believe that a fully CGI human being is real. Fully CG characters are nothing new.…

This Gemini Man Featurette Dives Into How Young Will Smith Was Digitally Cloned

Ang Lee’s Gemini Man is a massive experiment in filmmaking, featuring Will Smith as younger and current versions of himself. In a new featurette, the production team explains why this isn’t a simple process of de-aging, like they did with Kurt Russell in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Young Will Smith is a digital…

The New Jurassic World Ride Accentuates What’s Good About the New Movies

Like many of you, I was skeptical when news broke that Universal Studios Hollywood was re-theming one of its most iconic rides.

This week, Dacre Montgomery—of Stranger Things but, more importantly here, Power Rangers fame—seemingly confirmed something we’ve been expecting to happen for a while: Now that Hasbro owns the Power Rangers franchise in its entirety, the 2017 movie reboot is, uh, well…being rebooted itself.
