Watch how They Recreated Sean Young’s Replicant Rachael in Blade Runner 2049
Blade Runner 2049 was one of the most arresting films of 2017, with brilliant sound design, makeup design, the incredible use of miniatures to create the sets and more.

Oscar Watch: The Disaster Artist Composer on Memorializing the Best Bad Movie Ever
Nearly everyone who loves a good story dreams of making their own movie at some point in their life. Very few actually ever try it, and even fewer succeed. In 2003, Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero set out to make The Room, a ‘real Hollywood movie’ that is often regarded as one of the worst movies ever made. Ironically, their story has inspired one of this year’s strongest Oscar contenders. The Disaster Artist tells the story of two people who have been mocked as failures,
Two People had to Climb Into One Suit to Become The Last Jedi’s Weirdest Creature
The Last Jedi is filled with fantastic new creatures that played important roles in the film. The porgs were the first to attain wide appeal, thanks to their huge black eyes, furry little bodies and penchant for sneaking onto the Millennium Falcon. The Caretakers are an intriguing bunch, with their nun-like appearance and quiet dignity, tending to the old Jedi structures on Ahch-To. The galloping fathiers, also known as space horses, were easily the most thrilling part of the entire Canto Bight sequence,

*We’re sharing some of our favorite interviews of the year this week in our ‘Best of 2017’ roundup.
From the moment the first trailer for Get Out dropped, we knew this was going to be something special.

The Real Reason Porgs Were Created in Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Outside of the main mysteries and plot intrigue surrounding The Last Jedi, the porgs were by far the most distracting new feature of the franchise. Fans lost their collective minds when the adorable space aliens were first introduced, their cries were edited together into the theme song, and they were a Halloween costume favorite. Back in November we learned a little more about their design,

High on substance and style, you really feel like you’re getting a 360 degree view of the fight scenes, and often it appears as though you’re watching a single take. Of course, it’s actually hundreds of shots and special effects spliced together, but the results are stunningly believable and utterly seamless.
