Je dacht niet dat we uitgepraat waren, toch? Wat is immers een betere manier om te illustreren hoe het einde van Dune: Part One voor menig bioscoopbezoeker voelde, dan door een lang, gelaagd en diepgaand gesprek in twee stukken te hakken? En maar goed ook! Want deze verfilming van Frank Herberts Dune, door de Canadese regisseur Denis Villeneuve, vraagt om een extra lange bespreking. Dus hier zijn we opnieuw met een heropleving van de oude Cine-rubriek 'Luuk vs. Luuk'.

Zes Oscars, 't ziet er allemaal prachtig uit en Hansje Zimmer heeft potverdories zijn eigen instrumenten gebouwd voor de soundtrack. Maar eigenlijk is het maar een halve film. En wat wil je ook, als het bronmateriaal van Frank Herbert zo rijk is, dat het nooit in één film had gepast. Had Dune (2021) van Denis Villeneuve er echter niet beter aan gedaan, qua branding, om overal al van meet af aan duidelijk te maken dat het om een deel 1 gaat?  Voor één keer blazen we een oude rubriek van Cine.nl nieuw leven in: Luuk vs. Luuk. Daarin steggelden Luuk Imhann en Luuk van Huët al over menige film. Inmiddels kruisen ze de degens meestal alleen nog maar in privé, maar voor Duimpjeworstelen maken ze graag een uitzondering. En met dit duo – respectievelijk een auteur en een Cine-redacteur – weet je dat het een deep dive wordt! Misschien ook wel een beetje te veel voor in één podcast? Het gaat bijvoorbeeld over de vele verschijningsvormen van Dune, de verbeelding van white saviors en ruimtekolonisten, en hoe het grote met het kleine wordt verenigd in deze verfilming.

After finishing his education at the Savannah School of Art and Design (SCAD), Adam Amaral quickly put his VFX skills to good use in the professional world. He freelanced as a designer and animator for Nike and Target, while working on major studio projects such as Transformers, Star Wars, and Ender's Game. Despite his great success with large media and commercial companies, Adam wished to create something for himself and started Master of Shapes. This design-driven interactive studio allowed him to showcase all of his skills, dabbling in game design, virtual reality, interactive installations, and app development (to name a few!). His artistry and innovation lead him to work with powerhouses such as DeadMau5 and Miley Cyrus, and extended to the co-founding of the augmented reality program Red 6. With this boundless creativity already evident throughout his young career, Adam Amaral is a founder you'll be inspired by. https://masterofshapes.com/ Subscribe to our Newsletter! https://findingfounders.co/subscribe Website: findingfounders.co Follow Sam: https://www.instagram.com/samueldonner/ Follow Finding Founders IG: https://www.instagram.com/findingfounderspodcast/

As a general rule of thumb, every good Star Trek story has to be set on – or near – a starship. The hero ships of the ages include the Enterprise, the Defiant, Voyager and of course Discovery… In the fan film world, where CGI budgets are very limited, we often don't get to see […] The post Counting Down to The 2022 Trekzone Fan Film Awards : Best Hero Ship & VFX appeared first on Trekzone.

After two months of global destruction, dystopian wastelands and the divorced dads that will do anything to protect their stacked daughters, we say goodbye to our ROTTEN APOCALYPSE miniseries. For our grand finale, we're looking back at one of the most notorious disasters of the 20th century and an underrated late career banger from one of our best directors. First up, it's the infamous 1995 flop "Waterworld" starring Kevin Costner as a half-man/half-fish/100% incel living in a post-apocalyptic world that is, yes, all water. After that, we're welcoming the great John Carpenter to the podcast for the first time ever(!) with his only sequel, "Escape From L.A." starring Kurt Russell as the legendary Snake Plissken. Was "Waterworld" really the financial disaster it was pegged as even before audiences got the chance to experience it? Are the VFX that bad in "Escape From L.A."? Is Kevin Costner the very definition of white privilege in Hollywood? Should John Carpenter only make movies for under $20 million? Why does everyone in "Waterworld" want Costner's cum so badly? Is Kurt Russell a goddamn national treasure? Would you rather live in a post-apocalyptic world where you get to surf the LA river with Peter Fonda or one where the best thing that can happen is you find some dirt to sell? We're joined by Chad Alligood to discuss all this and more right here on America's #1 source for all things Rotten. Be sure to follow us on PATREON next week as we transition to exclusive episodes for our subscribers, as well as bonus episodes and some very tite merch coming soon!

Editor - Todd Downing ACE RUSSIAN DOLL editor, Todd Downing ACE returns to THE ROUGH CUT, having appeared previously in 2020 to talk about his work on the HULU series, MRS. AMERICA.  In that series, one of Todd's many standout moments was a sequence he cut that featured a conservative 70's housewife going on a drug-fueled, psychedelic trip at the National Women's Conference.  Todd also had a similar episode in the work he did on the series DIFFICULT PEOPLE, on Hulu as well.  Put those two together with the mind-bending journeys Todd navigates on RUSSIAN DOLL and you start to see that Todd Downing has carved out quite a niche for himself as the "go to" editor for shows that feature women going on existential and introspective adventures. Season 1 of RUSSIAN DOLL tells the story of a woman named Nadia who is caught in a time loop as the guest of honor at a seemingly inescapable birthday party one night in New York City. She dies repeatedly, always restarting at the same moment at the party.  As she tries to figure out what is happening to her, she meets a man who is experiencing the same thing in a different event. In Season 2, Nadia is ten days away from celebrating her 40th  birthday when the NYC "6" Train sends her back in time to 1982. She soon discovers she is trapped inside the body of her mother, Lenora, who is pregnant with Nadia.  Having learned what a significant impact it had on her family,  Nadia decides to pursue the gold Krugerrands her mother lost that same year, in hopes of changing the course of her family's history. Editing RUSSIAN DOLL In our discussion with RUSSIAN DOLL editor, Todd Downing ACE we talk about: Riding the wave of comedy vs drama within a show The kind of notes you get from a showrunner who is also the star Managing the story logic of characters looping through time and inhabiting other characters Natasha's Extraordinary Playlist Dealing with VFX "supply chain" issues The Credits Get your free 100GB of media transfer at MASV Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs Hear Todd's interview with fellow ACE editors, Emily E.
