Disney announced yesterday that Jennifer Lee will take on the position of Chief Creative Officer at Walt Disney Animation Studios while Pete Docter will be Chief Creative Officer of Pixar Animation Studios. Both will report to studio chairman Alan Horn. This comes on the heels of the report that said John Lasseter would leave by end of year, acting as a “consultant” in the meantime.
Following the horrible critical reception of the new movie Gotti - and an even more dismal box office performance - the marketing behind the movie released a new ad getting to the alleged heart of the problem: the critics. The ad attacks the critics that gave Gotti a 0% (on RT), calling them trolls behind keyboards, while pointing to the rave “user” reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. But the “user ratings” seem to not match up.
Netflix has released the first trailer for Tau; a new sci-fi thriller starring Oscar winner Gary Oldman (his voice) as the AI house that terrorizes its inhabitants in a horrifying game of cat and mouse. Maika Monroe (It Follows) stars as a young woman living in a futuristic city who gets kidnapped and injected by a mysterious stranger. She wakes up strapped to a chair in a strange house run by the artificial intelligence Tau, a program invented by Ed Skrein‘s psychotic inventor. He gives her a choice: do as the house says, or die.
Here’s your regularly scheduled reminder that Warner Bros. megashark movie The Meg arrives this summer and to celebrate - the studio released the new poster. Which has never been more on the nose.
