● Amazon MGM en Chris Pratt are reteaming for another sci-fi blockbuster following the success of the pandemic-released, The Tomorrow War. Zo'n succes was dat imo niet. Hun nieuwe samenwerking zal verschijnen onder de inventieve naam
Mercy en naar het scherm geleid worden door Timur Bekmambetow (Night Watch). Mercy speelt zich af in de nabije toekomst, "Pratt will portray a detective who is accused of a violent crime and forced to prove his innocence. Not much else is known about the film but it seems artificial intelligence will play a critical role in the film."
● Duncan Jones is klaar met filmen voor zn nieuwste.
Rogue Trooper tells the story of 19, a ‘Genetic Infantryman’, who finds himself the sole-survivor of an invasion force. Desperate to track down the traitor who sold him and his comrades out, the super soldier is accompanied by three killed-in-action squad mates, whose personalities have been stored in his gun, helmet and rucksack.
Shot at Rebellion Film Studios in Oxfordshire, breakout talent Aneurin Barnard (The Goldfinch, Dunkirk) stars as the eponymous Rogue Trooper, alongside Hayley Atwell (Captain America), Jack Lowden (Slow Horses), Daryl McCormack (Good Luck To You Leo Grande), and Reece Shearsmith (Saltburn). Rounding out the cast is an incredible ensemble, which includes Jemaine Clement, Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows), Diane Morgan (Cunk on Earth), Alice Lowe (Black Mirror), Asa Butterfield (Sex Education) and Sean Bean.
Klaar met filmen maar het wordt wel degelijk een animatie film. “The advancements in Unreal Engine 5 and the inclusion of MetaHuman rigs mean that it is now possible to achieve a very high standard of animation within an indie budget. Working with our amazing partners at Rebellion, Epic and Treehouse Digital we are pioneering and developing a new creative pipeline that will enable independent production of CG animated films.”
Na dat te lezen voel je misschien de neiging dit project direct af te schrijven als cheap FX drivel genre low quality volume stuff dat we tegenwoordig vaker voorgeschoteld krijgen maar dunno. Gezien het gaat om een gestyleerde animatie film en de adembenemde scenes die je met correct gebruik van UE5 kan realiseren...
Ben benieuwd.
● Kristen Stewart & Steven Yeun veroveren harten in sci-fi romance
Love Me op Sundance.
The film is centered on a sentient ocean mapping buoy and data archive satellite who find love, long after humanity has vanished from the face of the Earth. The satellite, named Iam, loaded with all of earth's recorded history is played by Yeun while Stewart portrays the buoy named Me. Self-Identity will be one of its major themes.
I dunno about you guys but this sounds all sorts of awesome.
