Final thoughts and excitement for Season 2

  • Shogun is officially getting a second season with filming set for January 2026 in Vancouver.

  • The story jumps ten years ahead, placing us deeper into the Edo era with Toranaga in power but on unstable ground.

  • Expect fewer large scale battles and more political maneuvering as Toranaga manages a fragile new alliance.

  • Both Toranaga and Blackthorne return, played again by Hiroyuki Sanada and Cosmo Jarvis, alongside the original supporting cast and many new characters.

  • The creative team, including key writers and directors from Season 1, is back, even though the show is now telling an original story beyond the book.

  • The scale and cost of production suggest a long post production window, making a likely release sometime in 2027.

  • “It kind of gives us an era when Toranaga is in power, but it is fragile.”

  • “It will probably be less battles and more juggling this fragile new alliance that he is building.”

  • “They are no longer pulling from the book, they are beyond that at this point.”

  • “With the very expensive and long shoot, it is probably not going to release till 2027, but cameras are rolling.”

  • “We have something happening that is incredible. I cannot wait for another season of Shogun.”

Pacific Rim Prequel Series in Development: Exploring the Kaiju Origins

Pacific Rim Prequel Series in Development: Exploring the Kaiju Origins

Hey, everyone! Legendary is bringing back Pacific Rim with a brand new prequel series. This one’s going to dive into the origins of the kaiju franchise, something we haven't really seen explored in depth before. The show is being developed by Eric Heisserer, the writer behind Arrival and Shadow and Bone, under a new deal with Legendary. This could be a great chance to dig deeper into the backstory of the Pacific Rim universe and see how it all started. I think exploring the origins of the franchise is a smart move that could really add some depth to the world Guillermo del Toro created back in 2013. Stay tuned for more updates!

James Gunn Pledges Better Working Conditions for VFX Artists at DC Studios

James Gunn Pledges Better Working Conditions for VFX Artists at DC Studios

As DC Studios prepares to kick off Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, fans are eagerly awaiting the new lineup of films and shows, starting with Creature Commandos in December. But alongside the excitement, there are concerns about how VFX artists are treated in the industry. James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, recently addressed these concerns by promising better working conditions for these crucial artists. In a recent post on Threads, Gunn assured fans that DC Studios is committed to giving VFX artists the time and respect they need to do their best work. "If you do some research you'll see my films have always taken a different approach and I've always given my VFX artist-collaborators time to do their jobs properly, and the respect they deserve," Gunn explained. He also praised the teams at Weta, Framestore, and ILM for their talent and dedication. The first film in DC Studios' new slate is Superman, directed by Gunn, which finished production last month. With a release date set for July 11, 2025, Gunn explained that they wrapped early to give VFX artists plenty of time to work without the usual last-minute rush. "This is why we wrapped on Superman a year before release and why they've been hard at work on many shots for months before that," Gunn said. He added that other projects, like Supergirl, are being handled with the same level of care. CGI has come a long way in superhero movies. Early films like Superman (1978) and Batman Forever (1995) used basic CGI, which was impressive at the time but limited by the technology. By the 2000s, movies like Spider-Man (2002) and X-Men (2000) started pushing the boundaries with more realistic effects, but this often came at the cost of long hours and intense pressure on VFX teams. Today, CGI in superhero movies is incredibly advanced, with characters and scenes that look almost real. However, the demand for high-quality effects often means VFX artists face tight schedules and heavy workloads, which has led to increasing calls for better treatment in the industry. James Gunn’s recent statements suggest that DC Studios is taking steps to address these issues and avoid the problems that have plagued other studios.
