Kyle Cooper is one of the most sought-after men in Hollywood. But he’s not an actor or a director, and he doesn’t bankroll big-budget movies. Cooper’s genius is making two-minute masterpieces on film: he designs the title sequences and credits that open and close a movie.
Since the 1990s, Cooper’s visually stunning breakthrough work has transformed film titles from a routine exercise in rolling credits to a form of experimental high art. His groundbreaking title sequence for the 1995 film Se7en, whose jittery editing and scrawled typography sent viewers straight into the mind of a serial killer, has been called one of the most important design innovations of the 1990s.
Peter Jackson's two film adaptation of The Hobbit will be shot in 3D using RED DIGITAL CINEMA'S soon to be released EPIC Digital Cameras.
IMAX Corporation and Warner Bros. Pictures today announced that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I, which opened number one at the box office this weekend, generating an overall domestic gross of $125.1 million, grossed a record $16.1 million globally in IMAX theatres, beating previous opening records for an IMAX DMR title.
While the Museum of Modern Art features a retrospective looking back at the work of writer/director Tim Burton, the filmmaker is fiddling with a new piece of work with the help of the online community. Using the character from the flash animated shorts The World of Stainboy (which first appeared in Burton's short story collection The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories), The Wrap reports Burton is calling upon Twitter users to write a new story featuring Stainboy.
After nearly a decade of being overshadowed by Pixar and DreamWorks, Disney Animation Studios has found its box office dream come true.More Articles...
