Me da un poco la sensación que el tema de los fx, mas que estancado, está dando pasos hacia atrás. atrás

Has visto EL LIBRO DE LA SELVA la del año pasado?

Sí, y es impresionante. Pero por cada pelicula que me deslumbra en ese sentido, veo 10 que son un cagarro. Es que en materia de fx no he visto grandes avances en los ultimos 10 años. En los primeros 2000 era flipar mes si mes tambien ante los nuevos estrenos...yo que se, igual es que me hago viejo
 
Cada año hay demasiadas pelis que abusan de FX y demasiados pocos técnicos. No dan abasto y la calidad no puede ser la máxima en todas.

Pero sí que se van haciendo progresos... los animales peludos ya están superados, y supongo que el próximo salto evolutivo vendrá/viene con el rejuvenecimiento de actores o por fin la recreación de caras CGI creíbles.

'The Jungle Book' Points Toward a CGI Future

Esto es del 2013 y no está tan mal... pero claro no es la cara de nadie conocido.

Michael Fassbender’s android David, definitely the same character from Prometheus and called David by name, walks Billy Crudup’s character through his personal workshop of biological terrors.

He shows off different mutations of the creatures, explaining that he has been trying to understand the aliens that were discovered in Prometheus, going so far as to genetically engineer new versions – a process that’s been waiting for one final puzzle piece to complete.

That’s when David takes him into a small chamber filled with four eggs that look identical to the ones seen in the original Alien. The final puzzle piece, David says, is “mother” — a waiting host — and Crudup’s character is lined up for the honor.

The dots are easy to connect: the alien as audiences saw it in 1979 wasn’t the result of evolution or natural selection. Instead, it was the result of an android intentionally breeding the most dangerous, lethal creature possible.

If accurate, this scene essentially explains some big things – namely the difference between the aliens in pretty much all the entries in the series. It also essentially rules out an ‘Alien homeworld’ concept if the beasts have been essentially engineered.
 
RIDLEY THE ALIEN AWAKENS...

Scott Explains All His “Alien” Prequel Plans




The other week filmmaker Ridley Scott gave a quote discussing the future of the “Alien” franchise that surprised quite a few people.

Back in the days of “Prometheus,” Scott had talked about a sequel titled “Paradise” which would step even further away from the “Alien” franchise hallmarks. After “Prometheus” was met with a bit of a wet reception, those plans changed to a ‘trilogy’ of films leading into “Alien” – one with more direct ties into his iconic 1979 film.

What wasn’t clear was if “Prometheus” was the first of this trilogy, or if it began with the follow-up “Alien: Covenant” which hits screens this May. Either way though it looked like we were effectively getting at least three, if not four “Alien” films assuming they were profitable for Fox.

Then came comments the other week in which Scott hinted at potentially SIX films leading into “Alien”. At least that was the story that people ran with, even though the quote wasn’t exactly a confirmation of that – it actually sounded almost a jestful boast.

Now new quotes from Scott given to Fandango have appeared. Scott and actors Katherine Waterston and Danny McBride all showed up at the SXSW Film Festival for a screening of footage from ‘Covenant’ and spoke with the outlet about the franchise’s future.

Scott confirmed that ‘Covenant’ separates itself from “Prometheus” by: “beginning to answer the who and why,” and confirmed that Noomi Rapace’s Elizabeth Shaw from “Prometheus” returns, though: “not fully, but in a way…She was integral to what David carried out later.” Waterston effectively chimed him in to stop him from revealing more.

He then said the next “Alien” film is already written and was asked how many are in the works now: “There will be another one before we kind of literally and logically, clockwise, back into the rear back head of [the original] Alien.”

Here’s where things start getting head scratching. He was asked what the timeline was for the franchise – is it Prometheus, Covenant, this next film, and then Alien? He responded with not only a potential title but an unexpected ordering: “It will go Prometheus, Awakening, Covenant.. fairly integral where this colonization ship is on the way….”

That’s when Waterston cut in again to stop Scott from spoiling any more information. Scott did add: “If this is successful, and then the next one, and then there will definitely be three more.

That suggests two trilogies – the first being Prometheus, Covenant and Awakening with the latter coming either between or after the events of Covenant.

Scott was also asked if this means that second trilogy he suggested could take place after the events of the original “Alien” and before or after the various sequels. He reportedly replied ‘no,’ saying it won’t take place after “Alien” as other movies have already been there.
 
Antaño los padres le dejaban a sus hijos el negocio familiar como forma de testamento o legado: el colmado, el bar, las tierras de labranza, los pescadores la licencia para pescar en latifundios... yo creo que ahora Ridley quiere dejarle a su hijo la saga de ALIEN.
 
Está claro que algunas películas son planes de empresa/inversión... ¿Para que gastar 50 millones en decorados y efectos para una película? pensaran los ejecutivos. Es mucho más rentable construir los mismos para 3 y de paso contratar a los actores principales por pack de pelis ¡Haga 3 y le pago 2!

El método fast food está plenamente instalado en Hollywood.
 
Otro como Cameron, madre mía. Con la diferencia de que éste tiene alguna peli buena en los últimos 20 años.
 
Y mientras completará entre medias la trilogía de "Gladiator". Que lo jubilen a la fuerza y lo mediquen debidamente.
 
se confirma que ha enloquecido
