‘We Can Be Heroes’ Featurette: How Robert Rodriguez Created the Visual Effects in His Kid Superhero Film

Say what you will about the films of Robert Rodriguez , which have varied in quality pretty drastically since El Mariachi put him on the map in the early 1990s, but the guy obviously has a boundless passion for making movies. He also has a passion for pulling back the curtain to reveal the process of filmmaking, which results in the experience being demystified and younger generations being presented with practical knowledge they may not have been able to easily access otherwise. Netflix recently released a new Robert Rodriguez superhero film called We Can Be Heroes that’s aimed squarely at children, and the streamer has since released a featurette with the director describing how the visual effects were accomplished. Behind the scenes featurettes are commonplace, but this one’s different – it isn’t explicitly stated in the video, but this one seems specifically designed so kids can learn some of the secrets about how filmmaking works.

Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Movie Casts Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Blues Guitar Legend B.B. King

Kelvin Harrison Jr. , who recently played Black Panther activist Fred Hampton in Aaron Sorkin’s The Trial of the Chicago 7 , will soon play another larger than life figure in a new movie.

He’s only directed three feature films in the past twenty years (and one big Netflix show that’s since been canceled), so I suppose some of you might have put him on the back burner. Anyway, the Australian auteur is making a comeback with an Elvis movie starring  Austin Butler , the guy who played the Charles Manson acolyte Tex in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood . Tom Hanks is on board too, playing Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis’s longtime manager who discovered the performer before he became “The King” and stuck with him throughout his entire career (although he was later found to have managed Elvis’s career in un

VOTD: Sleepy Skunk’s 2020 Movie Trailer Mash-Up Makes the Best of This Movie-Deprived Year

It’s no secret that this year has been a nightmare all around. Any excitement we had to see movies in theaters was squashed by the end of March, and with the exception of Tenet and Wonder Woman 1984 , all the other blockbusters were pushed to next year. But even so, the reliable Sleepy Skunk delivered his 2020 Movie Trailer Mash-Up , and he certainly made the best out of what we’ve been given. It’s even rather uplifting and hopeful as we head into 2021. 2020 Movie Trailer Mash-Up Though there are far fewer movies in the 2020 Movie Trailer Mash-Up than previous iterations of the annual video, Sleepy Skunk still perfectly meshed all these movies together to create a cohesive representation of cinema this year. From Sonic the Hedgehog to Nomadland , and Wonder Woman 1984 to Mank , this was an eclectic year for movies. There are probably plenty of titles you don’t recognize above that were able to sine more brightly than they might have in a more crowded year. If you’d like to know

Warner Bros, Disney, Netflix, and Sony Have Invested in Ava DuVernay’s Diversity Database for Hiring Film Crews

The film industry’s systemic struggles with hiring non-white actors have been well documented, but director Ava DuVernay knows that what’s in front of the camera is only half the battle. It’s important that attention be paid to diversity efforts on film crews, as well. Through her nonprofit company Array Alliance, DuVernay has created a diversity database that studios like Warner Bros., Disney, Netflix, and Sony have invested in. The aim is to widen the insular circles that form in the production world and letting more women and people of color onto the playing field. The Los Angeles Times spoke with DuVernay and Warner Bros. Television Group chairman Peter Roth , who have teamed up to make this diversity database a reality and grow it into a key resource for studios to utilize when making hiring choices before their productions get underway. “The first two weeks, we had 500 people on a spreadsheet,” DuVernay says. “After a while it was 750 and then 1,000 and then people calling a
