Cartoon Cat In addition to Siren Head at Warner Bros., Deadline reports a horror film based on artist Trevor Henderson’s character, Cartoon Cat, is now also in development at Sony’s TriStar Pictures.

Child’s Play 8 During his recent appearance at Creep I.E. Con (via Bloody-Disgusting), Brad Dourif revealed he’s heard several pitches for an eighth Child’s Play movie from director Don Mancini. If I know Don, I would say what he’s going to do is something completely different than I had thought of- that nobody had thought of. And he’ll go through a process of, like, making in his head this movie- I mean, I’ve actually-there is actually going to be another film made. I’ve heard maybe three pitches —that’s not a detail, and I’m not saying what they are—but they’re all different. The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum Andy Serkis spoke about his use of A.I. to digitally de-age the characters in The Hunt for Gollum during a recent interview with Variety. There’s a little bit of de-aging for some of the characters and machine learning is part of the process. When you think about it, in the original Lord of the Rings films, Peter created MASSIVE, which was a program which allowed 1000s of orcs to all have their own individual mindset. So that is a brilliant example of an incredible use of AI. But we’re not creating AI shots in our movie, every shot is created in a traditional way. One of the things actually that I really wanted to do with this film was to bring back all of the great filmmaking skills, from miniatures to prosthetics and marry them up, because that’s my taste. I like it when you mix up different filmmaking techniques. The Devil’s Mouth Amazon has released a new poster for The Devil’s Mouth, premiering this July 29. Spider-Man: Brand New Day The Punisher tries to “get out of fighting” the Hulk in a new clip from Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
