Depois de fazer pôsteres minimalistas usando apenas símbolos, Marko Manev volta a criar imagens dos heróis da Marvel e da DC Comics, em dez novas imagens icônicas no estilo noir, em preto e branco. Entre os super-heróis estão Homem-Aranha, Batman, Capitão América, Hulk, Thor, Homem de Ferro, Surfista Prateado, Superman, Dr. Manhattan e Wolverine.

_
O artista conseguiu captar em cada cartaz uma cena clássica do super-herói, usando o minimalismo e a fotografia noir. Segundo o site Collider, Manev pretende vender seus pôsteres no futuro próximo.

Tente descobri quem são heróis retratados, com a dica que tem em cada pôster com uma frase que o define._

Polish photographer Marcin Ryczek captured this gorgeous black-and-white photograph of a man feeding ducks and swans in Kraków, Poland (here’s a high-res version of the photo).

It’s amazing how picture perfect the framing and the scene are. The photo is like a spontaneous yin-yang image, with the man dressed in black in front of white snow, and white swans swimming on dark water. Unsurprisingly, the image is going viral online.

Netflix has a lot invested in House of Cards, the political drama starring Kevin Spacey. The show which marks the company’s first major foray into original programming. Though they’ve already done some original shows (such as the co-production Lillyhammer), the rental and streaming company spent millions and millions on this remake of a BBC miniseries, outbidding several cable channels and networks. Today, House of Cards finally hits the service with all 13 episodes available for your viewing pleasure.

Netflix has so much invested, in fact, they’ve made the pilot episode available to everyone for free — subscriber or not. The hope is to suck you in with the David Fincher-directed episode, so you’ll subscribe to the service to see the rest of the episodes.

In October 2011, I got to visit the wonderful world of Oz and watch director Sam Raimi direct his preboot (prequel/reboot) of the classic L. Frank Baum book series. I learned much on the set of Oz: The Great and Powerful. Most fascinating to me was some of the things Disney had to do satisfy legal concerns over possibly violating copyrighted imagery from the classic 1939 film adaptation, owned by Warner Bros.

And while trailers for the film focus on wholly computer-generated worlds and characters, you might be shocked to learn the lengths that Sam Raimi went through to shoot a lot of the film practically. For example, it was interesting to see Raimi inventing new practical solutions to help the supporting actors create and react to live performances for characters who would eventually be created in CG — and I’m not talking about performance capture.

After the jump you can watch a video blog we recorded talking about the visit, followed by many more things I learned while on the set.

 

Video Blog: Below is a video blog I recorded with Steve from Collider.

Possible Spoiler Warning: Please be warned that the video blog features some brief mentions of which character/actress becomes the Wicked Witch. While people familiar with the original books/previous movie(s) should be able to guess pretty easily, the reveal in the film has been thus far been kept out of the marketing campaign. When we were on set, it wasn’t treated like a secret or mystery, so we did talk freely about this plot point/character in the video we recorded following the visit.

You can use the chapter guide below the video to skip the discussion of the Wicked Witch (if you skip section 17:15-19:15 you will be fine). But please feel free to read the rest of this report without worrying about this possible spoiler.

35 Things We Learned On the Set of Sam Raimi’s ‘Oz The Great And Powerful’

1. The Yellow Brick Road was rebuilt in the suburbs of Detroit.

We visited the set at Raleigh Michigan Studios in Pontiac, Michigan on October 20th 2011, three months into the planned five month shoot. (Principal photography began on July 25th 2011). To give some perspective, Real Steel had just been released and Puss In Boots would be coming to theaters another week. Filming in Michigan is a homecoming of sorts for director Sam Raimi, who made many of his early films in the area.

Oz: The Great and Powerful is the first film to shoot in Raleigh Michigan Studios, which once was a General Motors trucking design plant. The studio houses 200,000 square feet of sound stages, with 3 sets revolving on each of the 8 stages. Three of the huge stages are next to each other, which allows Raimi to visit and give direction on second unit work in between takes with the first unit.

A few years ago Michigan passed very aggressive tax incentives that brought over 100 film productions to town; most recent at the time was the Dreamworks produced Real Steel. The Avengers and other films have since decided to film elsewhere, and Oz was one of the last films to qualify for these tax cuts before the state decided to eliminate the generous tax credit. The producer admits they would not be filming in Michigan without the tax incentives. The crew is roughly 600 people, 300 of which are local. The day I was on set there were also about 150 local extras. Raimi says the people here in Michigan really appreciate having a job, and that they are so talented and wonderful to work with.

2. The world of OZ looks like a mash up of Avatar and Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, with a touch of Disney fairy tale magic and even inspiration from… Song of the South?

Visual Effects designer turned Production Designer Robert Stromberg has only two credits as production designer, but is batting 1000 — both films (Avatar and Alice in Wonderland) have earned him Academy Awards. Stromberg is known as a world builder, able to create fantastically detailed and expansive fictional environments. Oz is his third film as designer.

The saturated landscapes look like a mash up of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland and James Cameron’s Avatar, a combination of real and surreal-looking elements. One concept rendering shows a lush green mountain which bridges above the yellow brick road which winding around and underneath. The interiors and exteriors of the castles look inspired by some of the animated Disney classics. For example, the interior of Glinda’s castle features very elaborate wallpaper, reminiscent of the designs in the Haunted Mansion.

Stromberg admits that in addition to the original Wizard of Oz, he referenced other Disney films like Song of the South. The Emerald City is very art deco-influenced, all royal green with yellowish gold features.

He tried to create something that pays respect to the original film we’ve grown up with but also takes viewers to the next level of filmmaking and art direction. The Oz we will see in this film is supposedly something closer to the one described in the original books than the original Wizard of Oz movie.

3. The surreal world of OZ was created practically with big sets and computer rendered set extensions.

Sam Raimi insisted on using physical sets with blue screen backdrops instead of rendering the entire set with virtual environments, something that was considered early on. The entire film was shot on sound stages, and not one frame was shot outside. Raimi says that he couldn’t even shoot a sky because none of the landscapes in OZ could ever fit in our reality.

Michelle Williams said she found it incredibly freeing that Sam gave the actors physical sets to live in, puppets to react to, and loved that he didn’t leave them out in the cold to act against a blue screen.

4. Oz: The Great and Powerful is a Rise of the Planet of the Apes-style prequel.

The screenplay, written by Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire, is based on characters, places and stories told throughout L. Frank Baum‘s series of 14 books set in the OZ universe. It imagines the origins of the man who becomes “The Wizard of Oz”, and explains how the Wicked Witch came to be so wicked.

James Franco plays Oscar Diggs, a small time magician in a traveling circus who feels above his current situation. A hot air balloon ride into a storm (complete with, you guessed it, a tornado) transports him to the world of Oz. The world is in turmoil and it has long been prophesied that a Wizard would come to save the land. But which of the world’s three witches can he trust — Theodora (Mila Kunis), her older sister Evanora (Rachel Weisz) or Glinda (Michelle Williams)? The answer may seem obvious to those who have watched the 1939 film, but the story is brilliantly structured with twists and turns you might not expect.

The last act of the movie is a huge battle and takeover of emerald city. We will learn how the Wizard becomes the man behind the curtain, complete with a projection on a large head. And through the course of the adventure, Oz will transform from a selfish man to a selfless man.

The goal of the story is to honor the original Wizard of Oz story but add to the mythology in a way that it might even enhance the reading of the earlier work. And as fans know, Baum’s Oz book series offer many more stories on which to base a possible sequel.

5. The Kansas-set opening is in black and white.

The opening sequence, set within a traveling circus stop in Kansas, was shot in the first two weeks of photography. It will be projected in black and white, and will be presented with mono sound and a smaller aspect ratio. The 3D depth will be dialed down, but still present. This is an obvious homage to the 1939 film which transitions from black and white to technicolor.

The aspect ratio grows when Frank arrives in Oz. That’s shown in a 30-second pullback shot that reveals Frank is no longer in Kansas any longer. Instead, his hot air balloon is floating above the wonderful land of Oz.

6. There are many different creatures in the land of Oz, some we know, many we’ve never seen before.

Many little creatures inhabit the world, including flocks of hummingbird/fish characters, and a small flying insect that looks like a mash up of an elephant and a butterfly. The Winkies are a group of 7-foot-tall soldiers that act as the Witches right hand henchmen.

The prequel features two types of flying monkeys, an angry baboon looking creature and a monkey that looks more like a cute chimpanzee. Zach Braff voices Finley, one of the chimpanzee-like flying monkeys, Theodora’s assistant, with whom Oz doesn’t hit it off in the beginning.

One of the characters along for this adventure is a tiny 18 inch tall breakable girl made of porcelain named China Girl (voiced by Ramona and Beezus star Joey King). Joey described the character as very sassy, having some attitude, but is also very sweet. Oz becomes kind of an adopted father to China Girl after he comes across her in China Town.

7. The film offers a more politically correct take on the iconic Munchkins.

35-40 little people were cast in the film to play Munchkins in this film. This time around they have spent time trying not to paint the Munchkins as odd. The characters are no longer wearing silly outfits. This film treats all of them as equals, basing their appearances off of their occupations.

Ricky Gervais and Tina Fey signed to star alongside Kermit and Miss Piggy in film from director of 2011's The Muppets

The Muppets plan to dominate the big screen again with a 1960s-style comedy caper starring Ricky Gervais and Tina Fey, the director James Bobin said on Wednesday.

The Muppets … Again! will follow the cast – including Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy – as they take their show on a world tour only to be unwittingly ensnared in an international theft scheme perpetrated by the villain Constantine, who looks identical to Kermit.

Gervais plays Constantine's sidekick, while Fey takes on the role of prison guard Nadya. Modern Family actor Ty Burrell will play an Interpol agent. The film will pay homage to the Pink Panther movies, which starred comedian Peter Sellers as bumbling sleuth Inspector Clouseau. "It's a tip of the hat to the old-school crime capers of the 60s, but featuring a frog, a pig, a bear and a dog – no panthers, even pink ones – along with the usual Muppet-y mix of mayhem, music and laughs," Bobin said in a statement.

Bobin made his directorial film debut in 2011 with The Muppets, starring Jason Segel and Amy Adams, which revived pop culture interest in the show. The puppets were first created by Jim Henson in the 1950s, before achieving worldwide fame on TV in the 1970s.

Gervais, creator of the international TV series The Office, Fey, creator of the NBC comedy 30 Rock, and Burrell have all won Emmy awards.

Hollywood studio Walt Disney said The Muppets … Again!, a follow-up to The Muppets, was set for cinema release in March 2014.

The film will be shot on location in Los Angeles and London at Pinewood Studios, home to the James Bond films.

Nós já sabemos há um bom tempo que a Netflix é ambiciosa, esforçando-se para criar seu próprio conteúdo original quando pode. Mas agora a empresa deixou suas intenções bastante claras: não se trata apenas de alcançar as redes de TV por assinatura – o Netflix quer derrotá-las no seu próprio jogo.

A revista GQ fez um perfil detalhado sobre a empresa Netflix, no qual o responsável por streaming de conteúdo, Ted Sarandos, fala sobre o que o futuro reserva para a empresa.

Ele sugere que o Netflix deve produzir pelo menos cinco novos programas por ano, a fim de superar os grandes concorrentes:

“O objetivo é nos tornarmos a HBO mais rápido do que a HBO consegue se transformar em Netflix.”

Nos últimos tempos, algo ficou bastante claro: quem decide o sucesso do Netflix são os provedores de conteúdo, não o serviço em si – afinal, o catálogo depende deles. Além disso, os provedores de conteúdo criaram serviços concorrentes, como Hulu e HBO GO. No entanto, isso pode mudar se o Netflix for o conteúdo.

E com US$ 300 milhões no bolso para gastar em programação original – que já permitiu projetos como House of Cards, de David Fincher (diretor de Clube da Luta e A Rede Social), além de uma nova temporada de Arrested Development – a empresa certamente tem como apostar nisso.

No entanto, o modelo que o Netflix adota para suas séries é diferente: elas são comissionadas sem piloto, e serão disponibilizadas de uma só vez, sem espera entre um episódio e outro. Isso levanta diversas perguntas sobre o que pode ser o futuro da TV:

Quando esperar por novos episódios for algo do passado, a televisão “de qualidade” terá o mesmo impacto cultural? Tony Soprano seria Tony Soprano se pudéssemos devorar sua vida em um só final de semana? Qual a importância de recaps de episódios, do live-tweeting e da experiência compartilhada de todos assistirem juntos?

Além dessas perguntas, resta ver se a consistência e qualidade da nova programação consegue conquistar clientes o bastante de TV por assinatura. Este será um ano bem interessante para acompanhar o Netflix.

‘A Magia da Realidade’ é um livro infanto-juvenil escrito por Richard Dawkins com ilustrações de Dave McKean, o mesmo cara que trabalhou no departamento de arte dos filmes de Harry Potter.

Por @meire_md

Se a ideia é impulsionar a curiosidade científica de seus filhos e estimular seu pensamento crítico não há nada melhor do que um auxílio dos grandes divulgadores, já que há algum despreparo nesta área em boa parte das escolas brasileiras e nem sempre sabemos como abordar alguns assuntos com as crianças.

Em 2011 o biólogo Richard Dawkins, o mesmo que ao publicar a emblemática carta à sua filha Juliet já havia mostrado uma habilidade incrível para falar com crianças, publicou ‘A Magia da Realidade’, que na minha opinião é um dos melhores livros dele. Arrisco-me a dizer que Dawkins fala melhor para crianças e adolescentes do que para adultos.

O livro foi traduzido para o português alguns meses depois e conta com temas interessantíssimos para os pais dividirem com seus filhos em idade escolar.

Em minha opinião, a obra é indispensável para adolescentes e bastante útil para adultos jovens ainda alheios aos desdobramentos mentais que livres pensadores trilham para entender a realidade que nos cerca ou que foram crianças que não tiveram oportunidade de acessar livros com conteúdo do tipo.

Se você associa Dawkins à militância ateísta e já começou a ler o post com um juízo negativo antecipado, é preciso que saiba que este livro não é um manual de ateísmo para crianças ou tampouco  um manual contra religiões específicas, já que lida com todas de uma maneira igual.

É um manual que exorta a criança e o adolescente a evitar um preenchimento de lacunas ainda não respondidas com explicações mágicas.

A Magia de Dawkins está na Realidade

Se a família tem uma crença e segue um determinado dogma isso não deve ser um motivo para impedir que a criança desenvolva um ceticismo em diversas áreas.

A curiosidade científica não é nem deve ser atrelada ao ateísmo ou tratada como sendo propriedade de não religiosos. Quem afirma que a ciência é incompatível com religião está apenas caindo num vício de seleção por pura ignorância ou querendo agredir ou rebaixar pessoas religiosas, o que é lamentável de uma forma ou de outra.

Uma criança deve crescer aprendendo a questionar inclusive quem nega a religião da sua família, isso é salutar. Precisamos estimular as crianças a questionarem o status quo. Questionar não é ser rebelde.

Se há algo a atrelar à curiosidade científica é a liberdade de pensamento, isso sim.

Um livre pensador pode ser religioso sem que isso prejudique seu juízo crítico na área que pretende estudar, desde que ele tenha se desenvolvido como indivíduo dono do seu pensamento e entenda o que é e o que não é alçada da religião.

Presto aqui todo meu apoio à família que doutrina seus filhos dentro do que crê, que não os impede de buscar explicações racionais para fenômenos naturais, ou seja, que não os escravize e que entende que a ciência não precisa ser inimiga da religião. Repito: o conhecimento científico não é propriedade dos não religiosos (nem nunca foi).

Uma família pode ser cristã e aceitar as fortes evidências em favor da Evolução da nossa espécie bem como uma família Budista, judia, espírita ou politeísta pode aceitar o mesmo.

Enquanto as religiões podem dividir as pessoas em grupos muito diferentes entre si a ciência tem a capacidade de nos unir e este livro mostra como o mundo natural é fascinante.

Como pessoa que enxerga a Magia da Realidade me sinto inserida na maior ‘religião’ do planeta, porque nela há pessoas de todas as religiões e pessoas sem credo também.

Se a família professa quaisquer credos só terá problemas com A Magia da Realidade se refutar boas evidências científicas disponíveis para explicar diversos fenômenos naturais, então se for especificamente este o caso de sua família não recomendo a leitura.

Para os demais religiosos e para os não religiosos só vejo diversão e uma porta aberta para aumentar mais ainda o vínculo afetivo e admiração que os filhos nutrem pelos seus pais.

Como pode ter dito o avô de qualquer um de nós, a Educação é a herança maior que os pais podem deixar para os seus filhos.

Um beijo,

Meire
