A Sweeping Look Behind-the-Scenes of “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power”
A new behind-the-scenes look at Amazon Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power gives us a sense of why this is the most ambitious series the studio has ever produced and, arguably, one of the most ambitious series of all time.

How The “Westworld” Makeup Effects Team Built Body Doubles & More in Season 4
Every season of Westworld is an ambitious undertaking, requiring hundreds of talented artists to create HBO’s gorgeously wrought sci-fi puzzle box. Season 4 has been especially complex, owing to the fact that the line between “real” and synthetic, between host and human, has been blurred to the vanishing point. Season one’s western-themed rebellion story, in which the synthetic hosts of the titular park eventually rebelled against their human abusers, is now a distant memory as some of those hosts wield enormous power and control over their human subjects in the real world.
“The Sea Beast” Writer/Director/Producer Chris Williams on His High Seas Animated Adventure

How Skylight Studios Transforms Inaccessible Spaces into Inspiring Locations
What people love, fear and crave are constantly defined by their location. From first noticing the otherworldly star band the Milky Way presents in a clear night sky to reading about CERN potentially ending the world while strapped to an airline seat 10,000 feet above the earth – the location of every moment serves as a lens through which we all see the world. And all those moments stay with us.

New “Prey” Video Connects Latest Film to Original “Predator”
“There’s something out there waiting for us, and it ain’t no man.” These are the first words we hear spoken in this new Prey featurette, but they’re not from director Dan Trachtenberg’s upcoming film. These lines were spoken during director John McTiernan’s original Predator (1987), when a team of commandos led by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Dutch first tangled with the extra-terrestrial hunter in a Central American jungle. Now, Trachtenberg’s Prey takes us back well before the events in Predator to the Comanche Nation some 300 years ago,
New “Bullet Train” Clip & First Reactions Hype Hilarious, Hardcore Action-Comedy Led by Brad Pitt

First “House of the Dragon” Reactions Hail “Game of Thrones” Prequel as Worthy Successor
When Game of Thrones ended its game-changing 8-season run on HBO—with a highly controversial final season, no less—HBO was left with a dragon-sized hole to fill.

The official Andor trailer is here, and it reveals Disney+’s hugely ambitious new Star Wars series with a thrilling two-minute-long look.
