No, The Nightmare Before Christmas Director Henry Selick Didn't Get Any Of The Movie's Crazy Merchandise Profits

Director Henry Selick has been around the block a time or two, to say the absolute least. The acclaimed stop-motion animation filmmaker behind movies like "James and the Giant Peach," "Coraline," and, yes, 1993's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (it wasn't Tim Burton, despite what the marketing would've had you think at the time and in the years since!) is making his grand return to the medium with the upcoming horror-comedy, "Wendell & Wild." As if that weren't already enough to get fans excited, another novelty factor of the project comes from the fact that it'll also reunite Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key, years after the creative duo made their lasting comedy mark with "Key & Peele." Maybe that nostalgia factor had Selick in the mood to look back at times gone by when /Film and other outlets visited the Portland, Orgeon set of "Wendell & Wild" in April of 2022. Among the many new insi

Wendell And Wild Director Henry Selick Knows Stop-Motion Animation Will Never Die [Set Visit]

It's a typically rainy Portland, Oregon day in April 2022 when we arrive at the nondescript studio. Tucked away in an industrial park on the edge of the city, it looks like a bland warehouse space. It certainly does not look like a building where a crew of artists and animators, led by one of the true geniuses of the medium, have spent the past few years toiling away on a stop-motion movie about demons voiced by two of the funniest people on the planet, and the young girl they rope into their scheme to make it rich in the world of the living. It certainly doesn't look like the headquarters for filmmaker Henry Selick, the director of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Coraline," who, armed with a Netflix budget, has endured not only the inherent difficulties of making a stop-motion animated movie but a deadly pandemic and freak weather that put the entire production at risk. But once we enter the building, masked and tested for Covid, we start to see the

Most Of The Lord Of The Rings' VFX Team Had Never Made A Movie Before

Though it has contributed to some of the highest-grossing movies of all time, including "Avatar" and "Avengers: Endgame," Peter Jackson 's visual effects company, Wētā FX (formerly known as Weta Digital), was still in its infancy when it set to work on "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Jackson had co-founded the company with Sir Richard Taylor and Jamie Selkirk in the 1990s, when it handled the effects for his films "Heavenly Creatures" and "The Frighteners," along with the Robert Zemeckis sci-fi adaptation "Contact." However, neither Wētā nor Jackson had attempted anything on the scale of "The Lord of the Rings" before, and the majority of its VFX team had no prior filmmaking experience. In a 2010 interview with HollywoodChicago.com , Taylor — who also serves as Wētā's creative director — was asked to pinpoint the thing he was most proud of when looking back at the legacy of "The Lord of the Rings.&quo

A Brief History Of Dragonstone, Daemon Targaryen's New Home In House Of The Dragon

This article contains spoilers for "House of the Dragon" episode 2. In episode 2 of "House of the Dragon," aptly titled " The Rogue Prince ," Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) defies his elder brother Viserys' (Paddy Considine) orders in a big way. After Daemon's son died a day after his birth, the king declared his daughter Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock) as his heir. The Targaryen heir is supposed to rule at Dragonstone once they come of age, so Daemon decided to take that for his own since he couldn't have the throne. He also stole a dragon egg that had been kept in his late nephew's cradle, though he eventually gave it back when Rhaenyra came to retrieve it. Dragonstone, however, he kept, and it looks like the sprawling castle will serve as his base of operations for some time. It's a perfect Targaryen home, complete with carvings of dragons absolutely everywhere, and since it's on an island, it's easy to visit on dragonback a

Manifest Season 4 Teaser: Adjust Your Tray Tables As The Series Flight Reroutes To Netflix

The fourth and final season of "Manifest" is flying your way on Netflix, and now the first official teaser for it is here. Appropriately enough, "Manifest" season 4 will premiere on November 4. It's a date we hear often in the teaser and one that should be familiar to anyone who has watched the show, which involves a commercial flight that hits turbulence in the air, only to land and be told that five and half years have passed since it took off and went missing. "Manifest" started out as a network drama on NBC, where it lasted for three seasons from 2018 to 2021. The show built up a dedicated fan base around it, but as its ratings slipped from over 12 million viewers on average per season to about 5 million, the network unceremoniously canceled it. Netflix at first passed on picking up "Manifest," even while streaming back episodes of it, but the show soon began to find new fans and appear on the Netflix Top 10. The #SaveManifest campaig

David Lynch Has Always Loved Fire Walk With Me, Even When Nobody Else Did

David Lynch has made a lot of great movies, but "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me," might be his best. It's a prequel to his hit TV show " Twin Peaks ," one that follows Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) around throughout the final week of her life. After two seasons of hearing about Laura in the past tense, this movie reminded us of something most murder mystery shows tend to lose sight of: that the victim was a real person with a full life, not just a mystery to be solved. "Fire Walk With Me" is a sad, terrifying, deeply emotional film, one that gives Laura a voice for one of the few times in the series.  Unfortunately, the movie was both a financial and critical disappointment at the time. "Twin Peaks" fans who wanted a resolution to the second season's massive cliffhanger were disappointed that the movie didn't resolve any of that. Critics complained that the movie was boring and nonsensical. "Fans of the dark comedy will find little

Many Paintings And Artifacts In The Invitation Have A Hidden Meaning [Exclusive]

In "Army of Thieves,"  Nathalie Emmanuel played a jewel thief in a zombie-adjacent world, but in "The Invitation," she's no longer content to be carrying out heists on the sidelines while monsters run amok elsewhere. "The Invitation" puts her right down in the thick of things with a "sexy aristocrat" in the countryside, per the official synopsis. The familiar  "Dracula"  setup betrays the film's not-so-secret vampire recipe, which is further bolstered by the appearance of fangs and blood-drinking and the name-dropping of Bram Stoker characters in the trailer for "The Invitation." Emmanuel stars in "The Invitation" as Evie, a woman without family who discovers through a DNA test that she has a long-lost cousin, "the whitest man" her friend has ever seen. She responds to a wedding invite from him in order to learn about her family history, but as it turns out, her family tree may be something of an

The Long Wait For Neill Blomkamp's District 10 Will Be Even Longer To 'Time It Right'

Don't hold your breath for "District 10," the sequel to Neill Blomkamp's Oscar-nominated directorial debut, "District 9," unless you're prepared to go without air for another two years or more. "District 9" first hit theaters in mid-August 2009, so it's been over 13 years now since the movie introduced Blomkamp and star Sharlto Copley to the world. Talk of a potential prequel or sequel has been bandied about ever since then, but early last year, things seemingly took a more official turn when news broke that Blomkamp and his writing partner and wife Terri Tatchell were penning the script for "District 10" with Copley. While promoting his horror film "Demonic"  last summer, Blomkamp discussed working with budget in mind while scripting "District 10" and said it would be "as stripped-down and bare bones as we could make it."

Here's What Inspired Tony Gilroy To Make Andor

By his own admission, Tony Gilroy had " no interest " in doing a Star War before he was hired to co-write and oversee the reshoots on "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story." Prior to that, the "Michael Clayton" and "The Bourne Legacy" filmmaker tended to specialize in thrillers that wed morally-complicated characters with grounded conflicts and overly political commentary. With "Rogue One," however, Gilroy got the chance to continue exploring his primary interests as a storyteller while painting on about as large a canvas as one could reasonably hope for. Gilroy now finds himself back in a galaxy far, far away for "Andor," a series that delves into the life of the titular Rebel spy, Cassian Andor, in the five years leading up to the capture of the original Death Star's plans in "Rogue One." That the show will be as openly political as anything else Gilroy has worked on (or, for that matter, anything else in "Star
