Nicholas Hoult and Rachel Brosnahan Discuss Their Big ‘Superman’ Action Moments

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-29 13:51:59

There’s a moment early on in Superman when Lex Luthor is shouting commands for different fight moves to a team of people remote controlling a supervillain where you think two things. “It looks like Lex is playing a big, elaborate video game,” and “I’ve never seen anything like this in a superhero movie before.” Both things are true, and when io9 spoke with actor Nicholas Hoult about his villainous turn in the DC film, we asked him about it. Speaking in Los Angeles recently, we asked Hoult what

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-08-21 09:30:38

The third and final season of Netflix’s Squid Game is filled with unforgettable moments. Series finales usually are. But even after everything is wrapped up in the games themselves, the show had one final surprise for audiences, and it’s a doozy. We’ve written about it here but now, the show’s creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has weighed in about what he meant with the scene, what it implies, and why he cast that person. Of course, major spoilers follow. At the very end of Squid Game 3, the Front Man (L

Take a Trip to Bob’s Void in This Exclusive ‘Thunderbolts’ Clip

The Void is a terrible place, filled with everything that scares you and makes you feel shame. But, in this new clip from the upcoming home release of Thunderbolts, you’ll realize it’s also a place to really push the boundaries of filmmaking. Thunderbolts, or The New Avengers if you’d like, is the latest film from Marvel Studios, for a few more weeks at least. It stars Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, and Wyatt Russell as the latest, but probably not greatest, su

I skipped every Death Stranding cutscene and I’ll do it again

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2025-08-30 21:00:00

I beat the original Death Stranding, but please don’t ask me what happened in it. There was a cataclysm — not quite a Gommage — that made the US more divided than ever, and you play as a babysitter-meets-delivery-guy who has special awareness of invisible, hostile creatures called BTs that are “beached,” which isn’t as relaxing as it sounds. There are grenades filled with pee, poop, and blood, and everyone who’s anyone was motion-captured to be in the game. There are whales, Guillermo del Toro (

Email: audrey.a.aguirre (at) gmail (dot) com Download PDF Past studies on Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (風の谷のナウシカ; Topcraft, 1984) have primarily focused on its ecological themes and anti-war messages through analysis of the narrative as a whole or Nausicaä’s character. These studies address the ethical and environmental consequences of war shown through the dystopian nature of the film’s setting and its religious symbolism. However, I

Most of my experience writing GLSL so far focused on enhancing pre-existing Three.js/React Three Fiber scenes that contain diverse geometries and materials with effects that wouldn't be achievable without shaders, such as my work with dispersion and particle effects. However, during my studies of shaders, I always found my way to Shadertoy, which contains a multitude of impressive 3D scenes featuring landscapes, clouds, fractals, and so much more, entirely implemented in GLSL.

Shaping Light – Volumetric Lighting

As I became more familiar with post-processing over the past few months, I was curious to push those newly learned techniques beyond pure stylization to achieve something more functional. I wanted to find new ways to enrich my 3D work which wouldn't be possible without leveraging effects and passes alongside custom shaders. As it turns out, post-processing is great entrypoint to enhance a 3D scene with atmospheric and lighting effects, allowing for more realistic and dramatic visuals. Because t
