Zelda Liebe The Adventures of Elliot ist eines dieser Spiele, die sofort Lust auf mehr machen. Die HD-2D-Optik ist wunderschön, die Welt wirkt voller Geheimnisse, und die Mischung aus Action, Rätseln und JRPG-Feeling trifft genau den Punkt zwischen Komfort und Entdeckerlust. Wer Zelda für seine Dungeons, seine Neugier und sein Abenteuergefühl liebt, findet hier viel Vertrautes. Wer JRPGs mag, bekommt dazu eine Reise mit Herz, Mythos und einer charmanten Feenbegleitung. Das Ergebnis ist ein Spiel, das sich nicht laut aufdrängt, sondern mit viel Sorgfalt und echter Liebe zum Genre empfiehlt. Matze ist schwer begeistert. Neuigkeiten von Vorwerk und Neato aus Italien Erinnert ihr euch an die Meldung, dass Vorwerk die Server für die gekaufte Marke Neato abschaltet? Ganz so glimpflich kommen sie damit nun hoffentlich doch nicht durch. Nun laufen zumindest in Italien Ermittlungen der Kartellbehörde gegen Vorwerk. Der Vorwurf lautet auf unlautere Geschäftspraktiken und es gab wohl sogar schon Durchsuchungen der Büros. Welcome to Paradise Paradise Staffel 2 legt noch einmal eine Schippe Spannung drauf. Die Serie, deren 1. Staffel Matze schon mochte, erzählt nicht nur von einer Suche nach einem geliebten Menschen, sondern auch von einer Welt, die nach dem Zusammenbruch weiterlebt und ihre eigenen Regeln entwickelt hat. Genau daraus zieht die Staffel ihre Stärke: draußen der Kampf ums Überleben, drinnen das Ringen um Kontrolle und Wahrheit. Das ist packend erzählt, emotional aufgeladen und voller neuer Wendungen. Wer Geschichten mit Geheimnissen, starken Figuren und einem guten Maß an Drama mag, bekommt hier eine Staffel, die man sehr leicht in einem Zug schauen will. Person of Interest Eine ältere Serie über KI. Die Story in aller Kürze: Entwickler entwickelt AI, die verhindert Terroranschläge, gibt ihm aber auch Nummern für „unwichtige“ Todesfälle, die er mit einem Ex-Spion selbst in die Hand nimmt. Sehr cool zu sehen, wie der Blick auf die AIs im Jahr 2011 und Folgende war. Nun endlich bei Netflix, nachdem Peppi sie bei Prime verpasst hat. Interessant: Produziert von JJ Abrams, Geschrieben von Jonathan Nolan (Author von Dark Night). Drama! Drama endet nie ist Fatoni in Bestform: clever, direkt und mit genau dem richtigen Maß an Selbstironie. Der Track macht aus Alltagsstress, innerer Unruhe und sozialem Druck einen Song, der nicht nur pointiert geschrieben ist, sondern auch sofort hängen bleibt. Zusammen mit Lakmann bekommt das Ganze zusätzlich Wucht und Tiefe. Das Ergebnis ist ein Stück, das sehr gut zeigt, warum Fatoni seit Jahren so verlässlich spannend bleibt: Er findet Worte für das, was viele fühlen, aber kaum jemand so präzise auf den Punkt bringt. Kein Scherz, ein Preis der fällt In der Tat habe ich direkt geschaut, ob ich da einen April Scherz übersehen habe. Aber nein, es stimmt. Microsoft SENKT (!) die Preise für den Gamepass. Es geht auf 20,99€ für den Ultimate und 12,99€ für den kleinen. Peppi hat seit langer zeit mal wieder einen Gamepass für Commandos Origins. (K)ein Hit No Hit Wonder erzählt keine völlig neue Geschichte, aber genau darin liegt auch sein Reiz. Der Film nimmt ein bekanntes deutsches Drama-und-Komödie-Muster und füllt es mit viel Gefühl, Sympathie und einem angenehmen Maß an Humor. Florian David Fitz und Nora Tschirner tragen diese Mischung aus Absturz, Irritation und vorsichtiger Hoffnung mit viel Charme. So entsteht ein Film, der vertraut wirkt, aber trotzdem hängen bleibt, weil er seine Figuren ernst nimmt und ihnen Herz gibt. Am Ende ist No Hit Wonder vor allem eines: ein sympathischer, warmherziger Film über Menschen, die sich gegenseitig wieder ein Stück Halt geben. KI-no KI wird es niemals schaffen, Regisseure, Drehbuchautoren und Schauspieler zu erstzen. oder doch? Offenbar geht es auch hier schneller als uns allen lieb ist. Zwar haben wir den Film nicht gesehen aber der Redakteur von Filmstarts war erstaunt, wie viel man aus ein paar Wochen Zeit und 500.000 USD raus holen kann…

In this episode I chat with visual effects supervisor, second unit director and digital pre-visualisation pioneer David Dozoretz about a career that traces the entire arc of how modern filmmaking shifted from analogue to digital — and how, somewhere in the middle of that shift, pre-vis went from a curious side experiment to a fundamental part of how films get planned and shot. David talks about growing up in Phoenix, falling in love with cinema the day his sister snuck him into the projection booth at the Cine Capri during The Empire Strikes Back asteroid sequence, and how a chance encounter with a Lucasfilm coffee-table book in a university bookstore set him on the path to ILM. He arrived at ILM in 1991 as an intern, became known as "the computer nerd in the art department and the art nerd in the computer department," and ended up bridging the gap between the two as digital began to take over.We get into his first feature — the original Jurassic Park — his year-long apprenticeship in the legendary ILM art department alongside Doug Chiang, Ty Ellingson, Harley Jessup, Mark Moore and Stefan Dechant, and the time he had to split a $1,400 piece of 3D software into two $700 purchase orders to get round ILM's general-manager sign-off threshold. It's a small story but it tells you everything about the era — digital tools were arriving faster than the institutions running things knew what to do with them.A big part of the conversation focuses on the early years of digital pre-visualisation. David did the first major digital previs sequence in mainstream cinema — the train and helicopter sequence in Brian De Palma's Mission: Impossible, the work John Knoll asked him to do that's now credited as one of the reasons the sequence got greenlit. From there he went on to spend four years working with George Lucas on The Phantom Menace, building the entire pod race in previs (a 25-minute version that almost no one has ever seen got whittled down to the 9-and-a-half-minute final), establishing his now-famous three rules of previs (no textures, no motion blur, no shadows) and then immediately having to break all three of them to convey the sense of speed and floating in the pod race itself.There are some lovely George Lucas stories too, including the time George walked into the editing room and reacted to David's droid-factory post-vis with "honestly, I was a little worried about that one — looks like it's gonna work," and the moment when George trailed off mid-sentence trying to describe a desert landscape and David — a 21-year-old kid — finished the thought with "John Ford?", which David thinks is the moment Lucas decided he could trust him. Later in the conversation we move into David's own company, Persistence of Vision, and his work on Titan A.E., Behind Enemy Lines, JJ Abrams' Mission: Impossible III, the 2009 Star Trek reboot (including the previs realisation that Vulcan being orange meant the costumes — originally designed to evoke 70s NASA — had to be completely redesigned) and Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D, where David served as second unit director on the first digital stereoscopic film and the production was effectively beta-testing the cameras Jim Cameron was building for Avatar. We finish on Zafari, David's 52-episode children's animated series rendered almost entirely in Unreal Engine — one of the earliest large-scale uses of real-time rendering in mainstream animation, which saved 30% of the production budget — and on a wider conversation about AI, the future of filmmaking, the importance of human authenticity, and David's lovely closing thought: study the art and history of cinema, study the drawing, not just the pencil. The tools will keep changing. The language won't.

The End of Oak Street intrigue déjà comme très peu de films savent encore le faire. Nouveau long-métrage de David Robert Mitchell produit par J.J. Abrams, le film déclenche immédiatement une question qui dépasse le simple jeu des théories : et si The End of Oak Street cachait en réalité un nouveau chapitre de Cloverfield ? Dans cette chronique de podcast horreur, Chandleyr part de cette hypothèse assumée, de ce plaisir très contemporain de spéculer avant même la sortie, pour aller vers une question plus profonde : pourquoi avons-nous encore autant besoin qu'un film éventre le réel avec la violence d'un Cloverfield ? Pourquoi l'ombre d'une rue tranquille, d'un quartier résidentiel, d'une banlieue trop calme et d'un événement cosmique suffit-elle encore à réveiller ce vieux fantasme de contamination brutale du quotidien ?Dans cet épisode de podcast horreur français, l'intérêt n'est pas seulement de savoir si J.J. Abrams prépare vraiment un nouveau Cloverfield. Le vrai sujet est ailleurs. Il se trouve dans ce que cette théorie révèle de notre imaginaire actuel. Nous voulons encore qu'un film transforme une maison, une rue, une famille, un décor banal en point de rupture. Nous voulons encore sentir que le réel peut se déchirer d'un coup et laisser passer l'impossible. The End of Oak Street devient alors plus qu'un trailer ou qu'un objet de spéculation geek : il redevient la promesse d'un cinéma capable d'arracher la normalité à son trottoir, de faire de la banlieue le décor d'une apocalypse intime, de mélanger science-fiction, mystère, chaos et angoisse dans un même geste. Cette chronique explore pourquoi le fantasme Cloverfield continue de vivre comme une blessure ouverte dans l'imaginaire de l'horreur moderne.Entre podcast légendes, thread horreur, chronique cinéma, science-fiction, imaginaire suburbain, contamination du réel et besoin d'un nouveau choc collectif, Dans l'Ombre des Légendes poursuit ici son virage vers une lecture plus profonde de la pop culture. Pourquoi avons-nous encore envie de croire qu'un film puisse cacher plus de monde qu'il ne l'avoue ? Pourquoi le nom de J.J. Abrams suffit-il à rallumer la machine à théories ? Et si le vrai sujet n'était pas de prouver que The End of Oak Street appartient à Cloverfield, mais de comprendre pourquoi nous avons encore tellement faim de ce type de chaos narratif ? Un épisode pour celles et ceux qui aiment l'horreur, la science-fiction, les récits à contamination, et ce moment rare où le cinéma semble capable de fissurer le quotidien au lieu de simplement le décorer.

Evan Iwata is a TV drama writer who recently sold his original high-concept crime procedural ON THE CLOCK to ABC with Lionsgate Television and Alexi Hawley's Perfectman Pictures. He was previously a staff writer on the HBO Max sci-fi thriller SUBJECT TO CHANGE from J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot, and has also developed a YA action-adventure series for DreamWorks Animation. He began his career in the writers room, working in support staff roles on series including Starz's OUTLANDER, CBS's CSI:CYBER and PURE GENIUS, and ABC's THE FIX and EMERGENCE. An alum of the Warner Bros. TV Writers' Workshop and the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Today we are getting into how Evan went from being rejected from USC film school to a WGA writer selling his own show, what it was like working directly with JJ Abrams ona series for HBO and the three typical expectations most writers have that are completely incorrect.BREAKDOWN: 13:46 – Evan's work on a potential Dreamworks show18:26 – Pitch vs. pilot vs. series bible23:18 – How to get paid before you start writing the pilot28:41 – From Oshkosh to USC / underGRAD31:41 – Megan Niquette33:21 – Namrata34:11 – Evan McGahey, Monisha Dadlani, Ethan Welling41:41 – Signing with reps42:24 – Writers' Assistant Program, Conrad Sun46:41 – Knowing when to add an agent to the team46:41 – Kat Reilly50:41 – Warner Bros.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy looks like pure @$$. But Paramount is still determined to release it, despite rumors that's it's already been cancelled before the first episode airs.So will the Ellisons wipe out the JJ Abrams era completely? That's the rumor -- Bad Robot is officially DONE. I guess we'll wait and see, but if the franchise is getting a reboot, it can't happen soon enough.Watch this podcast episode on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

Como todos los viernes grabamos una nueva edición de nuestro podcast insignia, el Weekly Quest. Esta vez nos toca hablar un poco del acuerdo entre Netflix y Warner para ver cómo puede afectar esto a la rama de videojuegos de esa empresa. También hablamos sobre el juego que está desarrollando Bad Robot y publicando Sony. Además se viene la vuelta de Carmageddon y nos vamos preparando para lo que va a ser un The Game Awards de novela.

In today's Daily Fix:PlayStation and J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Games have announced a new multiplayer game as part of the companies' partnership. While PlayStation's multiplayer-centric offerings have not hit as of late (except Helldivers 2), there is hope that this game will find an audience considering it's being helmed by Left 4 Dead's Mike Booth. In other news, Amazon's Tomb Raider series is not only rebooting the live-action Lara Croft adventures, but will "reinvent the franchise on a massive scale" by connecting the show to the games in a "unified storytelling universe." Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge is showrunning, and the series is expected to go into production early next year. And finally, Creative Assembly hosted a 25th Anniversary showcase, featuring new Total War projects, including the next mainline historical game: Total War: Medieval 3. A new game engine, Warcore, will also power new entries on console for the first time.

Hollywood was doling out massive multi-million dollar deals during the streaming era, and now that's crashing to a halt. We talk about the showrunner of 'white Horse,' '47 Ronin' director Carl Rinsch, who is looking at PRISON TIME for taking MILLIONS from Netflix and never delivering a series to them.Could Hollywood execs start cracking down on some of the celebrities who got massive multimillion dollar deals like JJ Abrams and Phoebe Waller-Bridge?Watch this podcast episode on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

Wicked: For Good movie is in theaters this week, so please enjoy this wonderful conversation from the AOK library with the film's director Jon M. Chu. He and Robert Peterpaul to discuss being a kind leader on set, acts of kindness from Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, his spellbinding memoir Viewfinder and more. Rejoicify - this is a thought-provoking chat filled with STAR-studded surprise guests! We're OBSESSULATED! Jon M. Chu is known for his visually stunning blockbuster films, as well as his kinetic work across various genres from groundbreaking series to commercials and films. Additionally, his unique storytelling ability has earned him the honor of inclusion on the Hollywood Reporter's Power 100 list as well as Variety's New Hollywood Leaders. Most recently, Chu directed Universal Pictures' critically acclaimed WICKED 1 & 2, starring Oscar-nominees Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. Part 1 of the feature-film adaptation of the record-breaking musical phenomenon released in theaters on November 22 and quickly became a box-office hit, becoming the highest-grossing Broadway adaption in domestic box office history in its second week earning over $350 million globally. His memoir, Viewfinder, is his journey from growing up in the Silicon Valley to transitioning to Hollywood and helming major studio projects, released Summer 2024. The book is an uplifting tale of belonging, creativity and learning to see who you truly are. His other projects include the critically acclaimed adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony Award-winning musical IN THE HEIGHTS for Warner Bros. Studios as well as the worldwide phenomenon CRAZY RICH ASIANS, which was nominated for numerous awards, including a SAG Award, a Golden Globe and PGA Award. It is one of the top 10 highest grossing romantic comedies of all time and the highest in a decade. It was also the first contemporary studio picture in more than 25 years to feature an all-Asian cast and opened a new chapter in Asian-American representation in Hollywood. Chu is attached to direct the highly anticipated biopic for Britney Spears based on her memoir, The Woman in Me, with Universal. He is also in development on Dr. Seuss' OH, THE PLACES YOU'LL GO! with Warner Bros and JJ Abrams' Bad Robot, which will be his first animated film. His previous films include GI. JOE: RETALIATION, NOW YOU SEE ME 2, JUSTIN BIEBER'S NEVER SAY NEVER and many more representing over 1.3 billion dollars in the worldwide box office.

Hello! Anders Holmes is back with another solo Anders Reviews. . . episode. Halloween maybe is over, but that won't stop Anders from talking about two of his favourite horror films. Much like the Demon Knight & Bones episode, he reviews not one, but two films. Joy Ride, released in 2001 and directed by John Dahl. It was co-written by JJ Abrams, he wrote the script with Clay Tarver. And the second film and final film is The Hitcher, starring Rutger Hauer and C. Thomas Howell.Both films make great use of their desolate and claustrophobic desert locations. Wide open roads, seedy small towns and gas stations. The two films belong to a category of films that Anders refers to as Road Horror Films. Road Terror Films or simply Highway to Hell Films. Joy Ride stars Paul Walker, Steve Zahn and Leelee Sobieski who set out on a road trip and are menaced by a murderous and mysterious truck driver after a prank goes fatally wrong. In The Hitcher, C. Thomas Howell is driving a rental car from Chicago to Los Angeles who makes the mistake of picking up Rutger Hauer's John Ryder and proceeds to make Howell's life a living hell. Joy Ride and The Hitcher are fun and suspenseful horror films set in middle of nowhere America. They both earn their cult status. Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel.Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen at work in the horror, car chase thriller Delivery Run, co-written with & directed by Joey Palmroos. The film has been released digitally and also in select cinemas in the US. In Finland, it will be released in cinemas on November 5th. You can read a review about it here on the Fangoria website. The two films mentioned in this episode served as influence and inspiration for when Anders was working on the script. Follow us on our Instagram page.

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney The 250 is a weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. This week, JJ Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness. Captain James T. Kirk has been in command of the USS Enterprise for a year. In that time, he has not lost a single service man. Kirk is angling for the hottest new assignment - a five year mission of exploration into uncharted territory - when a terrorist attack masterminded by a rogue Starfleet Security Officer throws everything that Kirk thinks he knows into doubt. At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.

J.J Abrams was once referred to as "the new Steven Speilberg" yet since, 2019, J.J has been able to get a single project greenlit, a TV show called Duster, which was cancelled after one season. Did J.J Abrams ruin Star Trek? Did J.J kill Star Wars? Did J.J save Mission: Impossible?Does J.J Abrams stink?I set up a familiar roundtable of Christian Blaft (host of Who Are These BroadCast, Marvel Movie Talk & The BladtCast), Liam Maceleny ( Misery Loves Company) & Phil Marks (Pro Wrestle Times & Phil Marks Out) to debate. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/it-s-hughezy-hello--3476000/support.

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every second Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode between them. This week, JJ Abrams' Star Trek. Orphaned following an encounter with a strange and hyper-advanced alien ship, James Tiberius Kirk drifts through life in search of purpose. Prompted to enroll in Starfleet Academy, Kirk finds himself drawn into an epic web of fate that crosses time and space, seemingly drawing him towards the most unlikely of companions, a half-Vulcan named Spock. At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.

In 2000, star Tim Cruise was in top of the world. By 2006, he had a bit of a PR problem. Though his previous film War of the Worlds was a certified hit, his off the screen presence was becoming more and more of a problem. Some people would say toxic. Getting in arguments played out in public with Brooke Shields's about the need to do away with prescribed drugs. To marrying a woman who was twenty years his junior. And of course jumping on talk show couches proclaiming his love for said woman. Directors were not wanting to work with him. And the general public, the same people who had spent tons of money to buy tickets to his movies, was rapidly starting to turn on him. So after a dissolved attempt to get David Fincher to direct Mission Impossible 3, perhaps the most important movie of Cruise's career, who does he turn to in order to resurrect his career? An unknown in the cinematic universe director by the name of JJ Abrams. Listen to Matt, Garrett and Adam dissect the sequel that would set a tone that would permeate through the entire rest of the franchise. Matt, not the biggest Abrams fan, and Garrett, certainly have their opinions that have been known in the past. But what about Adam? Stay tuned. mission Impossible Ghost Protocol isn't far behind.

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. It's a new season, with a new setting and a bunch of new characters, so of course the flashbacks tread some very familiar ground. Jack has daddy issues! We get it!Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 3, episode 2, "The Glass Ballerina." Tomorrow, we'll kick off a new watch (with Lost roots, in the form of JJ Abrams and Josh Holloway): Duster.

On this special episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with executive producer and showrunner Latoya Morgan and lead actress Rachel Hilson about DUSTER, the new TV series from JJ Abrams and Latoya Morgan now streaming on HBO Max. Set in the 1970s Southwest, the show follows the first black female FBI agent as she takes on a crime syndicate by teaming up with a gutsy getaway driver. I'm an FBI consultant on the show. DUSTER also stars Josh Holloway as the getaway driver Jim Ellis and Keith David as the boss of the crime syndicate.   After my conversations with LaToya and Rachel, I talk briefly about my role on the show as an FBI consultant and the significance of accurate portrayals of the FBI in books, TV, and movies, a major theme of my mission.   Check out episode show notes, photos, and related articles: https://jerriwilliams.com/356-duster-hbo-max-latoya-morgan-and-rachel-hilson/     Buy me a coffee - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JerriWilliams     Join my Reader Team to get the FBI Reading Resource - Books about the FBI, written by FBI agents, the 20 clichés about the FBI Reality Checklist, and keep up to date on the FBI in books, TV, and movies via my monthly email.

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Running Point. This season finale gave us some nice sibling moments, especially with Jackie, but also some highly predictable and annoying sitcom developments. Will we re-sign for season 2? That's going to depend on what else is on. Mentioned: The season 2 finale of Shrinking.Next Wednesday, we'll kick off a new show, one that reunites JJ Abrams and Josh "Sawyer" Holloway: Duster, on HBO Max. We'll start with the first two episodes, "Baltimore Changes Everything" and "Suspicious Minds." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

" Am I really playing with Neil Patrick Harris?" In keeping with the theme of Box Two, Neil Patrick Harris is back for his second appearance on our podcast. And not only that, he also brought a friend. Jonathan Bayme, CEO of theory11, is a longtime collaborator and Neil's bestie. They first met at a magic show Jonathan created for the Nomad Hotel in New York. Neil and Jonathan quickly bonded over a shared passion for elevating the art of magic, a deep appreciation for fine craftsmanship, and creating experiences full of wonder and joy. Jonathan created his company, theory11, with the goal of crafting magic tricks and playing cards that not only worked flawlessly, but were also beautiful to look at. Jonathan worked with Neil to produce Box Two, which was created with a very similar aesthetic and vibe. They very candidly explained the thought process behind design decisions such as relying on an online chat interface, and how they achieved certain magical effects. Box Two is gorgeous, with hefty props that felt good and looked good. I especially enjoyed hearing about the playtesting and mechanical process behind producing such a complicated boxed game. Jonathan also shares his secret to networking. Whether it's about tracking down JJ Abrams, or writing weekly emails at twelve years old to David Copperfield's longtime executive producer, I really enjoyed his stories of perseverance when it comes to making connections.

Screenwriting legend Zak Penn talks about how he got so savvy in the business of show.  We talk about how coming to LA and scouting out the city geared him up for his big move after college and his sale of “The Last Action Hero” started him on a 35 year journey of being one of Hollywood's most sought after writers. We talk about the good times with Speilberg, JJ Abrams, Shawn Levy, Ryan Reynolds, & Dwayne Johnson and we talk about the bad times with others. Bio: Zak Penn's career began as a screenwriter when he sold his first script, LAST ACTION HERO, at the age of twenty-three. Since then, Penn has become known for his work on numerous films based on Marvel comics, including X-MEN 2 and X-MEN: THE LAST STAND, ELEKTRA, THE INCREDIBLE HULK and THE AVENGERS. He has also dabbled in other genres, writing scripts for disparate films such as P.C.U., BEHIND ENEMY LINES and SUSPECT ZERO.Penn's shift into independent cinema began when he collaborated with his idol, Werner Herzog, on the script for RESCUE DAWN. Penn directed and co-starred with Herzog in INCIDENT AT LOCH NESS, his award-winning “hoax” documentary about the legendary director's attempts to make a film about the equally legendary monster. THE GRAND, Penn's second completely improvised film, was his third film with Herzog, and featured an eclectic cast including Woody Harrelson, David Cross, Ray Romano, Cheryl Hines, Dennis Farina and Gabe Kaplan.In addition, Penn co-wrote the original story for ANTZ and produced the animated film OSMOSIS JONES.
