Spoiler Alert: This story discusses major plot points, including the ending and the post-credits scenes, for “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” currently playing in theaters.
While improvising in a meticulously crafted Marvel movie — full of CGI, green screens and elaborate costumes — seems nearly impossible, Paul Rudd and Jonathan Majors did just that “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.” According to editors Adam Gerstel and Laura Jennings, Rudd, who plays Scott Lang/Ant-Man, and Majors, who plays the MCU’s new Thanos-sized villain Kang the Conquerer, especially exercised their improv muscles during two similar scenes — one which features a multiplied Ant-Man and another, an army of Kangs.
Gerstel says the scene where Lang replicates and faces hoards of his multiple selves was a technical shoot that required the entire sequence to be pre-visualized to understand the story. The concept was to “showcase Paul’s comedic talents and riff off of that,” wondering...

This post contains spoilers for "Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania."
The bulk of Peyton Reed's new film "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" -- the 31st film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- takes place in a microscopic fantasy dimension called the Quantum Realm. Said realm is populated by all manner of strange species and non-humanoid creatures who, in true MCU fashion, speak in a flip, jokey jargon now very familiar to the franchise's many fans. Despite being impossibly small, the Quantum Realm possesses common Earth-like gravity, and perhaps galling breathable oxygen. Reed's first "Ant-Man" film from 2015 very clearly noted that its title hero must wear a helmet when he shrinks or grows, as his lungs would not be able to absorb air molecules of a different size. If one can shrink so small that one can ride on top of an oxygen atom, one cannot very well breathe it.

Pixar’s return to movie theaters represents an additional milestone for the animation powerhouse: “Lightyear” is the studio’s first film shot in IMAX. (A two-week “Lightyear” run begins in IMAX theaters this weekend.) It’s a theatrical spectacle befitting the vision of director Angus MacLane, who pictured the Buzz Lightyear origin story as a ’70s blockbuster movie that charged the imagination of “Toy Story” kid Andy “the way ‘Star Wars’ got me excited.”
In “Lightyear,” fearless Space Ranger Buzz (Chris Evans) strands his Star Command crew on an uncharted planet. The film contains 30 minutes of IMAX animation, thanks to Pixar developing a virtual IMAX camera system (including a large sensor equivalent to 65mm and spherical lenses) to shoot the sequences at full frame 1.43:1. Meanwhile, the rest of the movie was simultaneously shot in virtual anamorphic 2.39:1 by “center cropping” the image. This widescreen presentation emulates the way ’70s...

So much for “The Lion King” avoiding the animation label. Despite Disney’s best efforts to position Jon Favreau’s all-cg, photo-realistic game changer as a “live-action” awards contender, it grabbed Golden Globe and Art Directors Guild nominations on Monday for Best Animated Feature and Animation Film Production Design. And Disney had nothing to do with it.
That’s because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association chose to switch “The Lion King” from Best Motion Picture — Comedy or Musical (as submitted by Disney) to the animation category, while production designer James Chinlund submitted his own work to the Adg as an animated feature. (Disney encourages its craft artists to self-submit to guilds and professional organizations.)
Likewise, IndieWire has learned that “The Lion King” editors Adam Gerstel and Mark Livolsi submitted their work to the American Cinema Editors for Ace Eddie Awards consideration in animation.
Less surprising, though, was “The Lion King...

Director Jon Favreau has assembled quite an incredible cast of actors for Disney's realistic CGI animated remake of The Lion King. Most of the actors on the list we've already known about, but the one big confirmation is that Beyonce will officially be providing the voice of Nala. Here's the synopsis that was released:
From Disney Live Action, director Jon Favreau’s all-new “The Lion King” journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure...
