Denis Villeneuve’s sweeping “Dune” and Disney’s Golden Globe-winning animated musical, “Encanto” each scored six nominations Tuesday to lead the 20th annual Ves Awards nominations (awards ceremony details are in pandemic flux). Marvel’s trippy “Loki,” meanwhile, led the broadcast field with four nominations for the Disney+ series.
Competing for feature visual effects are the frontrunning “Dune,” “Godzilla vs. Kong,” “The Matrix Resurrections,” Daniel Craig’s Bond finale, “No Time to Die,” and Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” All have been shortlisted for the VFX Oscar, with “Dune” as the heavy favorite, in which Dneg supplied windblown sand, raging sandstorms, flying insect-like ornithopters, and the iconic CG sandworms.
Supporting visual effects nominees include “Candyman,” “Last Night in Soho,” “Nightmare Alley,” “The Last Duel,” and “The Tragedy of Macbeth.”

The Visual Effects Society unveiled nominations Tuesday for its 20th annual Ves Awards, with Warner Bros’ Dune and Disney’s animated Encanto leading all nominees with six apiece, followed by the Disney+ Marvel series Loki which has four noms to lead all broadcast series.
The group, celebrating its 25th anniversary, recognizes the year’s best in outstanding visual effects artistry and innovation across film, animation, television, commercials and video games. With the Omicron variant surging, the Ves Awards ceremony does not have a date or format yet; those decisions are still to be made and tickets are not yet up for sale.
Last year, the Ves Awards went virtual in a ceremony hosted as per usual by Patton Oswalt. Netflix’s The Midnight Sky, Disney/Pixar’s eventual Animated Feature Oscar winner Soul and Disney+’s The Mandalorian were among the marquee winners.
Overall, this year’s nominees in 25 categories...

Shortly before giving up directing duties on The Batman – he’s still attached to produce and star, for now – Ben Affleck likened the upcoming Justice League movie to the Dceu’s rebirth.
It’s a fairly accurate description, too; following the back-to-back disappointment of Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad, Warner Bros. is banking on Zack Snyder’s ensemble movie to deliver the goods, and effectively fire their shared universe on track. Wary of repeating the same mistakes over again, we’ve heard reports in the past of WB brass reshuffling their deck to allow for a more light-hearted spin on DC’s finest heroes, and that’s something that really shone through in the Justice League Comic-Con trailer.
Now, as we inch ever closer to release, crew members Damon Caro and Bryan Hirota sat down with Heroic Hollywood to discuss the film’s hopeful tone. Assistant Director Damon Caro...

Whether you loved it or hated it, you can’t deny that Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice had at least several exciting, well-executed moments. They may have been few and far between, but they were there and one of them is, without a doubt, that thrilling warehouse scene.
If you’ve seen the film (which, let’s face it, you definitely have by this point), you surely know what we’re referring to and now, some new behind the scenes images have arrived online to give us a better look at it. Though there’s nothing here that’s going to stop the presses, fans will no doubt appreciate getting a peek at what went into bringing this particular moment to life.
Debuted by Heroic Hollywood, the stills were accompanied by a rather interesting interview as well, with assistant director Damon Caro...

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice had a lot of cool moments, but chief among them was that warehouse scene. While many fans were understandably disappointed to see Ben Affleck's Caped Crusader murder a bunch of dudes, it was truly like seeing the comic books come to life as he leapt into action in a bid to save Martha Kent. Now, a new batch of behind-the-scenes images have surfaced. You can check those out below courtesy of Heroic Hollywood, while they also caught up with assistant director Damon Caro and visual effects supervisor Bryan Hirota. You can read that over at the site, and it's revealed that it was the first scene shot by Zack Snyder due to its complexity and that the only time Batman was CGI was when he blasted through the floor. The hero's cape was also a special effect! What do you guys think of these new images?...

In yesterday's Los Angeles Times, John Horn and Steven Zeitchik report on the uphill battle Fox Searchlight will be fighting this summer as they roll out Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life from just four theaters this weekend in New York and Los Angeles to eight more cities next week, all the way to 200 by the July 4 holiday weekend. In short, they realize that Brad Pitt and the Palme d'Or alone won't hack it. If marketing success were measured by the sheer bulk of critical coverage, though — and, Lord knows, it isn't — the team could already be resting on its laurels.
Reverse Shot, for example, has spent all this past week with the film, running five essays in all. Here in The Notebook, we've had Daniel Kasman's first impressions from Cannes and, on Thursday, Ignatiy Vishnevetsky's (if you'll allow us) magnificent review. Both follow, of course,...

Not much is known about Terrence Malick’s upcoming film, The Tree Of Life, since the director prefers to remain secretive about all of his projects. The trailer released just before the end of 2010 was just enough to whet our appetites and from what little we saw, the film looks incredible. We caught a glimpse of the usual beautiful cinematography that normally accompanies the director’s films, and enough to understand that the story follows the life of a father in the 1950s (Brad Pitt) and his son Jack , played as an adult by Sean Penn. Blogs exploded with comparisons to Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain, but what we didn’t see in the trailer was dinosaurs. However, according to The Playlist, VFX artist Mike Fink said in an interview last year that, “We’re just starting work on a project for Terrence Malick, animating dinosaurs, the film is The Tree of Life,...
