Sometimes, the call of nostalgia and influential blockbusters is too tempting to ignore. Despite his intended desire to stay away from blockbusters and big-brand I.P., and try and stick to original films, filmmaker Gareth Edwards is stepping in to direct the new “Jurassic World” film from writer David Koepp, the original screenwriter of Steven Spielberg’s “Jurassic Park.” Edwards is “replacing” “Deadpool 2” and “Bullet Train” filmmaker David Leitch, who was briefly engaged in negotiations to direct the film but fell out over creative differences.

If 2014’s Gareth Edwards’ “Godzilla” took a grounded and gritty realistic page from Christopher Nolan’s ‘Dark Knight’ films, then it should be abundantly clear from some of the latest images and trailers that filmmaker Adam Wingard (“The Guest”) is moving in a drastically different direction with the fifth film in Legendary’s Monsterverse franchise saga, “Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire.” Seemingly even far afield than Wingard’s own 2021 film, “Godzilla Vs.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor “The Creator” director and co-writer Gareth Edwards started out making documentaries for the BBC, moving to fiction with 2010’s “Monsters.” From there, he jumped into “Godzilla” and “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” For “The Creator,” a futuristic sci-fi film depicting AI robots and humans in conflict, he wanted to draw from the best aspects of each filmmaking approach. That meant staying nimble on shots while relying on a big visual effects team to create the look he wanted, according to ILM visual effects supervisor Jay Cooper. One of the biggest challenges for Cooper was the destroyer tank.

Hello, and welcome to the Scene 2 Seen Podcast!

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “The Bikeriders,” a drama directed by Jeff Nichols and starring Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, and Tom Hardy, is being shopped around town after Disney took the film off its slate. Disney and 20th Century were scheduled to open the film on Dec. 1.

New Regency‘s Jeff Nichols directed crime drama The Bikeriders is getting shopped to rival studios and streamers after the movie stepped off its Dec. 1 theatrical release date, Deadline has confirmed.

In 2010, writer and director Gareth Edwards blew away cinema-goers with his haunting science-fiction tale, Monsters. The film was made on a micro-budget, but managed to appear vastly more expensive. Edwards’ skills caught the eye of the studios and he was quickly hired to direct Godzilla. After that came Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Then came a quiet period for Edwards, but now he has returned with another science-fiction epic, The Creator. Whereas Godzilla and Rogue One were both based on pre-existing properties, The Creator sees Edwards get back to his basics.

Disney has unset the wide theatrical release of Jeff Nichols’ Bikeriders from its Dec. 1 theatrical release. Wouldn’t you know? AMC has their Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé on that date.

Filmmaker Gareth Edwards is coming off his epic sci-fi original film, “The Creator,” a film that saved millions of dollars in VFX by essentially doing it all after the fact. Meaning instead of setting up expensive green screens, blue screens, and mo-cap suits to capture the spots where VFX would typically be inserted, Edwards and his team just shot the movie generally as one would in the wild and then basically Photoshopped on all the VFX afterward (that’s not the most technical version, but probably the most accurate the audiences will understand; read our ‘Creator’ review here).

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Oscar-winning cinematographer Greig Fraser was “devastated” when Warner Bros. announced that “Dune: Part Two” was shifting its release date from Nov. 2023 to March 2024.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Gareth Edwards’ “The Creator” was a resourceful sci-fi endeavor with an $80 million production budget, but its visuals are on par with epic blockbusters that cost three times that amount. Rather than shoot on a studio backlot, the filmmaker behind “Godzilla” and “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” opted to shoot in eight different countries, including Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and Japan. For an all-out climatic action sequence set in Thailand, a village comes under attack by the U.S.

Does any film really need a full six-hour documentary devoted to it? Honestly, you would be hard-pressed to think of one single film that deserves a multi-episode docuseries analyzing every aspect of its creation. And yet, the filmmakers behind “RoboDoc – The Creation of RoboCop” did just that.

With a budget of $80 million—a pittance compared to the budgets of most modern blockbusters— Gareth Edwards has made his long-awaited return to science-fiction on the big screen with “The Creator,” a provocative sci-fi adventure set roughly 50 years in the future, where Western society is devastated by and at war with artificial intelligence (read our review). Whereas the East, having not undergone a similar tragedy, has embraced and fostered the technology.

Michaela Zee “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” director Gareth Edwards is once again addressing the multiple reports about the 2016 film requiring extensive reshoots overseen by Tony Gilroy (the eventual “Andor” creator was hired by Lucasfilm to join the “Rogue One” team in June 2016). On a recent episode of KCRW’s “The Business” podcast, Edwards claimed “there is so much inaccuracy” surrounding the making of the “Star Wars” prequel.

Refresh for latest…: Here we are with a sort of hybrid weekend at the international box office: there were fresh entries from the Hollywood studios, as well as major new titles timed to holiday play in local markets, and a holdover that’s continuing to rack up records.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Paramount’s animated sequel “PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie” topped the box office in its debut, earning a solid $23 million from 3,989 North American locations over the weekend. Those ticket sales were more than enough to rule over the three other new nationwide releases, which could be categorized as the good (Lionsgate’s gruesome “Saw X“), the meh (Disney and New Regency’s sci-fi thriller “The Creator“) and the ugly (Sony’s Game Stop stock-inspired “Dumb Money“). “Saw X” took second place with $18 million, an impressive start for the 10th entry in the long-running horror series.

Rogue One director Gareth Edwards‘ new movie The Creator is now in theaters and it’s an epic sci-fi action thriller that will definitely have audiences excited!

Todd Gilchrist editor As costs spiral upward for production infrastructure, visual effects and good old fashioned star wattage, blockbuster budgets tend to be one of the closely guarded secrets in Hollywood. Yet in the weeks and months leading to the release of “The Creator,” due Sept.
