See How a Novel Technology Helped Create The Mandalorian’s Hyper-Realistic Worlds

Disney+’s The Mandalorian looked so ravishingly good it was easy to forget it wasn’t a Star Wars feature film sliced and diced into a series. The feature film-level look was achieved primarily through a new technology called StageCraft. What StageCraft does is create a hyper-realistic, reactive environment that moves with the camera. In a new behind-the-scenes video from Industrial Light & Magic, you’ll see how The Mandalorian used this tech to create the many worlds our titular bounty hunter plied his trade on.

Cinematographer

Future Man’s Cinematographer Sylvaine Dufaux on Hulu’s Hilarious Time Tripper

In Hulu‘s Future Man, a gent by the unimprovable name of Josh Futturman (The Hunger Games‘ Josh Hutcherson) finds himself in a fairly extreme circumstance. Josh is a janitor by day and a bigtime gamer by night, and his life is reasonable and normal until it’s suddenly very unreasonable and abnormal. He’s recruited by a pair of time travelers (played by Derek Wilson and Eliza Coupe) and tasked with traveling through time himself to save humanity.

HBO’s Beforeigners Trailer Imagines Vikings in Modern-Day Oslo

Any new HBO series is worthy of notice, especially when that series has a grand, ambitious conceit that sounds a little crazy on first blush. That’s the case for the premium channel’s new show Beforeigners, which imagines Vikings (and folks from the Stone Age, as well as the 1800s) appearing all over the world.

Beforeigners is mainly set in modern-day Oslo, with drama centered around a police investigation.

A new Stranger Things Season 4 Teaser Reveals That Hopper’s Alive

At the end of Stranger Things‘ epic third season, it appeared that Hawkins Sheriff Jim Hopper (David Harbour) had paid the ultimate price in order to save his beloved Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) and the rest of Hawkins from a nefarious Russian plot. Granted, Harbour’s one of the series most beloved characters and a mid-credits scene seemed to imply the courageous grump might still be alive. Yet we couldn’t be certain—until now.

Production Designer Arwel Jones on Designing a New Dracula

Consistent with Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, Netflix’s new three-episode Dracula series begins with a hapless English solicitor, Jonathan Harker (John Heffernan), ignoring the Transylvanian locals’ misgivings to make his way on a snowy evening to Count Dracula’s forbidding castle. In the original novel, Harker is initially impressed with his host’s social graces before realizing he’s a prisoner, but 2020’s Dracula (Claes Bang) is ratty haired and grim, intent on getting the social skills he’ll need for England from his guest.

The First Trailer for HBO’s The Plot Against America Reveals David Simon’s Gripping Roth Adaptation

When word spread that The Wire mastermind David Simon would be adapting legendary novelist Philip Roth’s brilliant dystopian book “The Plot Against America” for HBO (along with executive producer Ed Burns, another The Wire alum), we were enthused. Now that the first trailer for the upcoming series has dropped, it’s safe to say the limited series is on our must-see list.

The story is set in a World War II-era America that looks very much like our past on the surface.

Ambition and Risk Highlight Narcos: Mexico Season 2 Trailer

The last time we left Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo (Diego Luna), commonly referred to as Félix, he had managed to talk his way out of imprisonment and stay atop the Guadalaraja Cartel—the first Mexican drug cartel—using his wits alone. Granted, in order to become Mexico’s leading narco-trafficker, Félix used a lot more than wits. He was ruthless in his rise to power, and inarguably brilliant, but he only escaped prison (or death) by cutting a last-second deal in which he promised to keep the secrets of powerful players in Mexico secret,

Watch the First Trailer for Snowpiercer, Adapted From Oscar-Nominated Bong Joon Ho’s 2013 Film

Considering there are few directors more beloved than Parasite‘s Bong Joon Ho, there couldn’t be a better time to see one of his most overlooked films get adapted for TV. Bong Joon Ho’s epic sci-fi thriller Snowpiercer, based on the “Le Transperceneige” graphic novels, was unceremoniously buried way back in 2013, despite being an absolutely ripping story with a great cast (Tilda Swinton!

So you were a fan of Alex Garland‘s Ex Machina (2014) and Annihilation (2018)? Yeah, us too. Garland has made a name for himself as one of the most compelling writer/directors of sci-fi in the business. Ex Machina took the artificial intelligence run amok narrative and made something wholly new (with an incredible trio of cast members in Alicia Vikander, Oscar Isaac, and Domhnall Gleeson).

Virgin River Editor Nicole Ratcliffe on Cutting to Where it Counts

Editor Nicole Ratcliffe has an unusual story to tell—she began editing right out of film school. Why this is unusual is it usually takes some time before you’re properly cutting scenes in the editing room, but for Ratcliffe, who grew up in Vancouver and works there, she began editing more or less immediately. Not only that, she worked on so many visual effects-heavy projects that she became a visual effects editor.
