Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Pictures have announced that the long in development movie adaptation of the popular Japanese manga Ghost in the Shell has officially entered into production in New Zealand.

To go along with production getting underway, the first official image from the movie has also been released. The image doesn’t show too much, but it is our first peek at star Scarlett Johansson in the lead role.

You can read more about the movie and see the first image below.

Guillermo del Toro is a workaholic – writer, director, producer, teacher. That’s probably not news to anyone. In conjunction with the announcement that he will run a Masterclass at Annecy (International Animation Film Festival) this June, is a first look pic at his upcoming Netflix original series, Trollhunters.

Check out the pic and press release below.

Before ]Mike Myers ever voiced the titular Shrek for four very successful films and a few TV specials, the late Chris Farley was tapped to play the lovable green ogre. In fact, reports say that the comedian had actually recorded up to 95% of the voice work before his passing. With that in mind, one has to wonder what would have the film sounded like had DreamWorks animation just released it.

Now a newly released video is showing how widely different the one Farley voiced would have been had the animated studio just stuck with it as opposed to the one Myers voiced. Check it out below.

Steven Spielberg and Roald Dahl. Combined these men have created some of the greatest children’s stories ever. From E.T. and Indiana Jones to Matilda and Willy Wonka, these men of film and literature have changed lives for generations of kids. So imagine how mind blowing it was when it was announced that Spielberg was helming one of Dahl’s classics, 1982’s The BFG. Melissa Mathison is penning the screenplay. For those uninformed, BFG stands for “Big Friendly Giant.”

Along with Tony award-winner Mark Rylance (playing the BFG) and newcomer Ruby Barnhill (playing little English girl Sophie) is SNL veteran Bill Hader.
