Last summer, even before the public had gotten a chance to see it, humans-hunting-humans thriller “The Hunt” became a target for pundits on both sides of the gun control debate, when a pair of mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, prompted critics to consider the media’s role in glorifying violence.

In response, Universal ripped director Craig Zobel’s movie from its original Sept. 27 release date and rescheduled the thriller for spring 2020, making room for national mourning in the wake of the horrific events, only to turn around and use the controversy as an unconventional marketing hook.

While not nearly as incendiary as the early coverage made it out to be, “The Hunt” gives skeptics ample ammunition to condemn this twisted

‘Encanto’ Co-Director and Writer Details Designing the Magical Casa Madrigal

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorWhile the Madrigal family is the heart of Disney’s “Encanto,” another key character in the film is Casa Madrigal, the family’s magical home and center of the narrative.From the very beginning, co-writer and co-director Charise Castro Smith says the creative team knew that the house would be a reflection of the family and their magical powers, with a personality and a point of view.“We knew it was going to be alive, magical and fun and a friend to the kids who lived in the house,” she says.Each room in the house also had its own personality and early on, Castro Smith says the magic of technology allowed her to visualize the world of “Encanto” through VR.“The visual design team modeled it in 3D, so we got to put a headset on and walk through the house.” That process came in handy when she was polishing the story that is rooted in magical realism — she was able to step into the casita and immerse herself in the experience. Although the house is alive, in designing the home, associate production designer Lorelay Bove added touches that were inspired by Colombian homes while making sure it oozed energy and vibrancy.The kitchen had items that would be found in a cocinar Colombiana, “like a molinillo, which is a hot chocolate stirrer, a corn grinder and traditional clay pottery called La Chamba,” Bove says.“The one thing the directors said was that there needed to be truth to the materials.

‘Flee,’ ‘Melvile,’ Charades Take Top Honors at Cartoon Movie, While Genre Adaptation ‘Darling’ Makes Market Splash

Ben Croll Returning to in-person gatherings after last year’s online event, this year’s Cartoon Movie pitch and co-production forum saw the teams behind 57 animated features pitch their development projects before 930 European industry delegates from 19 countries. Running over March 8 – 10 in the southwest city of Bordeaux in France, this year’s forum saw both international buyers (totalling 297 overall – a 12% increase from the previous edition) and adult skewing projects notch upward – two facts not wholly unrelated.Whether on purpose or by some happy twist of fate, the four beneficiaries of this year’s Cartoon Movie Tribute Awards reflected a pair of key industry trends.At an event where one third of the pitch projects were based on preexisting material, it was thus fitting that adaptation “Even Mice Belong in Heaven” — directed by Denisa Grimmová & Jan Bubeníček, co-produced by Czechia’s Fresh Films, France’s Les Films du Cygne, Slovakia’s Cinemart and Poland’s Animoon – would win for Producer of the Year, and that the graphic novel inspired “Melvile” – directed by Romain Renard and Fursy Teyssier, produced by Belgium’s Need Productions and co-produced by France’s Creative Touch and Special Touch Studios – would claim the Eurimages Co-Production Development award.

‘The Hunt’ review: Dir. Craig Zobel (2020)

Scheduled for release back in September of 2019, The Hunt went on hiatus due to a number of tragic shootings Stateside. Although there are plenty of violent films, and numerous shootings throughout the year, The Hunt was unfairly targeted due to it focusing on a plot that sees wealthy liberals hunt the right-wing. However, after seeing The Hunt, it all seems rather daft; this is social satire, but with so much tongue in cheek and over the top gore, that surely nobody will be taking it seriously.

In this version of America, episodes of racial violence erupt in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as yellow-masked police officers face off with a white supremacist group known as the Seventh Kavalry.
