The film, called Critterz, has a budget of less than $30 million, and producers hope to make the movie in about nine months -- in time for the Cannes Film Festival next May, according to reporting by The Wall Street Journal.

Arco is stunning sci-fi with shades of Moebius and Miyazaki

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-10-12 13:00:00

The best part of going to a film festival is finding something new. Sure, it’s great to find out that movies you’re excited about are in fact good — I’ve had luck so far with Exit 8, No Other Choice, and Wake Up Dead Man — but it’s so much more exciting to be surprised by something when you had no expectations going in. That’s what happened to me when I walked into a theater to watch Arco, an absolutely gorgeous animated film from director Ugo Bienvenu, on day 4 of the Toronto International Fil

Wake Up Dead Man adds a delightfully dark twist to Knives Out

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-10-12 23:00:00

When director Rian Johnson introduced the new Knives Out film on the third day of TIFF 2025, he exclaimed: “we’re going back to church.” By that he meant that Wake Up Dead Man, the latest Benoit Blanc mystery, would harken back to the origins of the whodunit, and in particular the gothic vibes of Edgar Allan Poe. And now that I’ve seen it, I have to say that Johnson pulled it off: the new movie has a darker and more spiritual feel than its predecessors, and yet it’s still distinctly Knives Out,

Recently, a minor miracle was achieved in the world of film preservation. A long-lost version of "A Better Tomorrow II" (1987), John Woo's sequel to his heroic bloodshed classic "A Better Tomorrow" (1986), was discovered and is now slated to be released to the public.

Using Claude Code SDK to reduce E2E test time

news.ycombinator.com Jampa Uchoa 2025-10-12 18:57:51

End-to-end (E2E) tests sit at the top of the test pyramid because they're slow, fragile, and expensive. But they're also the only tests that completely verify complete user workflows actually work across systems. Due to time constraints, most teams run E2E nightly to avoid CI bottlenecks. However, this means bugs can slip through to production and be harder to fix because there are so many changes to isolate the root cause. But what if we could run only the relevant E2E tests for specific code
