The killer conference starts next Tuesday; a variety of panels related to this year’s ‘Rhythm of Change’ theme now set, from the state of the industry and growth of AI to updates on ‘The Art of Animation’ and ‘Expanding Realities’ tracks.

Previously announced as part of a first look deal between Legendary and Eric Heisserer’s Chronology banner, the series has gotten the goahead at the streamer.

Directed by ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ helmer Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Gosling, the upcoming standalone ‘Star Wars’ universe adventure will debut in theaters May 28, 2027.

The solution streamlines production of high-quality transitions, HD video outputs, 48 kHz sound effects and music, and animated character transitions.

The spot stars Spock (Ethan Peck), Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), and Nyota Uhura (Celia Rose-Gooding), who are joined on the Patrick Starship Enterprise by SpongeBob, Sandy, and Mr. Krabs.

The modern, fast-paced adventure is said to draw similarities to ‘Night at the Museum,’ ‘Back to the Future,’ ‘Big,’ ‘Jumanji,’ and ‘Barbie.’

Industry veterans Sarah Essam and Jonny Vale join as business development producer and head of marketing and communications, respectively.

10 new shorts, featuring dinosaur gladiators, messianic cats, and other oddities, are set to debut May 15; voice cast includes MrBeast, Kevin Hart, John Oliver, Niecy Nash, John Boyega, and Rhys Darby.
