When it comes to predicting the Oscar winner for Best Film Editing, you can’t go wrong by looking for the movie with the most cuts. Past winners “The Bourne Ultimatum” (2008), “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2016), “Ford v Ferrari” (2020), “Dune” (2022) and last year’s champ “Everything Everywhere All at Once” included high-octane action sequences with frenetic cutting. A slew of winners — including “Saving Private Ryan” in 1999, “Black Hawk Down” (2002), “The Hurt Locker” (2010), “Hacksaw Ridge” (2017) and “Dunkirk” (2018) — have been war pictures. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2024 Oscar predictions for Best Film Editing.)
Oscar voters also embrace film editors who skillfully juggle multiple storylines, as was the case with “Traffic” (2001) and “Crash” (2006). And they like films that expertly inter-cut music with images, such as “Cabaret” (1973), “Chicago” (2003), “Whiplash” (2015), “Bohemian Rhapsody” (2019) and 2021 winner “Sound of Metal.” Special effects extravaganzas like “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” (2004) and “Gravity” (2014) won by...

Colby Parker Jr., the editor for Sony Pictures’ Gran Turismo, revealed why the movie needed to rely on a notable amount of VFX work.
The upcoming PlayStation Productions movie follows Jann Mardenborough and his story of winning a video game competition that would go on to put him in the driver seat of a real race car—thus beginning a long and fruitful racing career.
When audiences think of a heavy special effects outing, movies like The Avengers or Blue Beetle probably come to mind. What tends to not make the list would be a movie like Gran Turismo. However, looks can be deceiving.

While 2015’s Ant-Man was a welcome addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the character has gone on to be a trilogy-worthy one, one does wonder what Edgar Wright – who was once attached as director – could have done with the movie before he left over that old Hollywood chestnut of “creative differences.” But, sadly, we will never see Edgar Wright’s take on Ant-Man, partly due to the writer/director not wanting to see other MCU characters in it – which sort of goes against the whole universe aspect…
According to Ant-Man editor Colby Parker Jr., Edgar Wright likely wouldn’t have featured Anthony Mackie’s Falcon (aka Sam Wilson), who made his debut in the previous year’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. “I don’t think there would have been any other Marvel characters set up. I think he was going to be a standalone. He didn’t want...

Does your memory go as far back as 2010, or have too many catastrophes and cataclysms blurred your vision? Peter Berg’s tense account of the Bp Gulf Oil Spill debacle covers twenty hours of technological peril, as Mark Wahlberg and Kurt Russell battle idiotic executives and a badly-cemented oil well that’s fixing to blow sky high — and to turn a massive floating oil rig into a hellish inferno.

The latest Marvel franchise hero is an incredible shrinking secret agent with powers wholly unlike his fellow Avengers. Ex-con Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) is motivated by sentimental family connection issues, and so is everyone else. The Sci-fi ideas come off very well via imaginative CGI effects and the 3-D is great, too.

“Scott, I’ve been watching you for a while now. You’re different. Now, don’t let anyone tell you that you have nothing to offer.” Ant-Man may feature a superhero who can shrink to microscopic sizes, but that unique ability could expand Marvel’s cinematic universe in a big way. Marvel has released the first trailer for Ant-Man, featuring a lot of screen time for Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas, while also teasing an impressive supporting cast.
Press Release – “Set for release in the United States on July 17, 2015, the film is directed by Peyton Reed (“Bring it On,” “The Break-Up”) and stars Paul Rudd (“I Love You Man,” “Role Models”) as Scott Lang aka Ant-Man, and Michael Douglas (“Behind The Candelabra,” “Wall Street”) as his mentor Dr. Hank Pym and Evangeline Lilly (“The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” “Lost”) as Hope Van Dyne, daughter of Hank Pym.

Batman has The Joker. Thor has Loki. Superman has Lex Luthor. Every hero needs a villain, and in Marvel’s upcoming film, Ant-Man, the opposition to the titular microscopic protagonist played by Paul Rudd is fittingly coined Yellowjacket. With fans waiting for the film’s first trailer to debut in the near future, new banner artwork has been unveiled to hold us over, offering the first look at the main antagonist.
As Marvel announced during their Hall H Comic-Con panel, Yellowjacket, aka Darren Cross, will be played by Corey Stoll (The Strain, This Is Where I Leave You, Midnight in Paris). Cross is a a former protégé of Hank Pym (the original Ant-Man, played by Michael Douglas), who takes a dark path after getting his hands on Pym’s shrinking suit technology. You can see Yellowjacket in the banner below, and in case you missed it, we also have the...

Yesterday marked the first day of principal photography for Ant-Man. If I’m to be honest, I’m still a bit bummed that Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish have left the project. I think their take on the Marvel Universe could have been one akin to James Gunn’s approach to Guardians of the Galaxy. Alas, we are still getting an Ant-Man film and the casting is pretty great. We also have a look at Paul Rudd as Scott Lang Aka Ant-Man.
