Firefly Lane girls forever. The final episodes of Netflix’s Firefly Lane, which stars Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke as long-time besties Tully and Kate, are coming to the streamer on April 27. And while we don’t know for sure how their story ends, a just-released trailer and photos offer some hints about what’s in store for the pair in the last seven episodes.
Tully is in Antarctica in the ‘Firefly Lane’ Season 2 Part 2 trailer
The first half of Firefly Lane’s second season was all about the breakdown of Kate (Chalke) and Tully’s (Heigl) decades-long friendship. The two had a massive blow-up after Tully was involved in a car accident with Kate’s teenage daughter Marah (Yael Yurman). That led to Kate cutting Tully out of her life, seemingly for good.
Then, in the part 1 finale, Kate learned she had breast cancer. Her first instinct was to...

The Visual Effects Society unveiled nominations Tuesday for its 20th annual Ves Awards, with Warner Bros’ Dune and Disney’s animated Encanto leading all nominees with six apiece, followed by the Disney+ Marvel series Loki which has four noms to lead all broadcast series.
The group, celebrating its 25th anniversary, recognizes the year’s best in outstanding visual effects artistry and innovation across film, animation, television, commercials and video games. With the Omicron variant surging, the Ves Awards ceremony does not have a date or format yet; those decisions are still to be made and tickets are not yet up for sale.
Last year, the Ves Awards went virtual in a ceremony hosted as per usual by Patton Oswalt. Netflix’s The Midnight Sky, Disney/Pixar’s eventual Animated Feature Oscar winner Soul and Disney+’s The Mandalorian were among the marquee winners.

"What price would you pay to find love?" Netflix has released an official trailer for a cute romantic comedy titled Love, Guaranteed, starring Rachael Leigh Cook & Damon Wayans Jr. It's a bit strange, but this is made by the director of Daredevil and Ghost Rider, now doing a light-hearted romcom? Sure, okay. To save her small law firm, earnest lawyer Susan takes a high-paying case from Nick, a charming client who wants to sue a dating website that guarantees love. But as the case heats up, so do Susan and Nick's feelings for each other. I'm glad to see the romantic comedy spin in this - condemning dating websites and accusing them of being for-profit crap by narcissists. And I like the romance - based on honesty and genuine charm. The cast includes Heather Graham, Quynh Mi, Jed Rees, Lisa Durupt, and Brendan Taylor. At first glance, this looks pretty good!

Exclusive: Patrick Sabongui (Homeland) and Brendan Taylor (Supernatural) are set to recur opposite Katherine Heigel and Sarah Chalke in Netflix’s upcoming drama series Firefly Lane, based on the bestselling novel by Kristin Hannah.
Written and executive produced by Maggie Friedman, who also serves as showrunner, Firefly Lane is the sweeping story of two inseparable best friends and their enduring, complicated bond, spanning four tumultuous decades.
Firefly Lane follows the story of Kate (Chalke) and Tully’s (Heigl) enduring friendship from their teen years through their 40s — as they weather career ups and downs, love triangles, marriage and divorce, and countless dramas along with way. Throughout their lives, the one constant they have is each other: partners in crime, platonic soulmates, always up for their next adventure.

A horror version of The Little Mermaid sounds like the best and worst idea for a movie but that’s exactly how Mermaid’s Curse is described.
To add some other strangeness to proceedings this story is set in 1930s Oklahoma, America and a family run business that involves five sisters singing and dancing. And we get to watch a lot of 1930s-style singing and dancing, which isn’t exactly what I expected. In among that we get some gangsters who offer to save the family business but as with all gangsters they have some unpleasant conditions to the deal. You might be thinking how exactly this all links up with a mermaid and...

One of my favorite new genre shows to come out in the last few years has been What We Do in the Shadows, as I’ve now fallen in love with this new group of vampire compatriots living amongst us mortals on Staten Island. Being such a huge fan of the series, I wasn’t about to miss the What We Do in the Shadows panel at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con last weekend, which was moderated by Evan Rachel Wood, who also has some experience playing a bloodsucker on TV.
For the panel, attendees first watched the fan favorite episode “The Trial,” and then Wood was joined onstage by Wwdits masterminds Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, as well as executive producer Paul Sims, co-executive producer/writer Stefani Robinson, visual effects supervisor Brendan Taylor as well as series cast members Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Mark Proksch, and Harvey Guillen.

What We Do in the Shadows cinematographer DJ Stipsen and visual effects supervisor Brendan Taylor share how they created the show’s look.
The 2014 New Zealand film What We Do in the Shadows was an immediate audience favorite when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, so it's no surprise that FX scooped up the television rights and hired the writing and directing team of Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement for an episodic reimagining. The original cinematographer DJ Stipsen also made the transition to the small screen, and he and Mavericks VFX's visual effects supervisor Brendan Taylor talked to us about creating the show's signature look.

What We Do in the Shadows on FX is unique among single camera comedies in that it makes use of special effects but also strives for a realistic mockumentary feel.

While “Avengers: Infinity War” topped the 17th annual Ves Awards (to be held February 5th at the Beverly Hilton Hotel) with six nominations, “Black Panther,” Marvel’s other Oscar frontrunner, was shut out. And Damien Chazelle’s acclaimed “First Man,” another frontrunner, was included in the supporting category as a result of its invisible VFX. Disney’s “Mary Poppins Returns,” meanwhile, was also snubbed.
However, joining “Infinity War” in the top VFX category were a surprising list: “Ready Player One” (with five nominations), “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” “Christopher Robin” and “Welcome to Marwen.” Joining “First Man” for supporting VFX were “12 Strong,” Bird Box,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and “Outlaw King”.
In animation, Pixar’s “Incredibles 2” was the big winner with five nominations, followed by Sony’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and Disney’s “Ralph Breaks the Internet” with four. They were joined by Illumination’s “The Grinch” and Wes Anderson’s “Isle of Dogs.
