Douglas Trumbull had previously brought his VFX experience to film on such groundbreaking classics as 2001, but Silent Running – a sort of proto-Wall-E, with humanity facing the demise of its natural resources – let him loose as a director. Bruce Dern plays Freeman Lowell, one of several crew members on a greenhouse vessel that carries some of the few remaining plants from a ruined Earth. But when his ship is ordered to destroy the vegetation and return, Lowell mutinies and continues to tend his foliage with the help of three memorable robo-assistants. It s by turns dramatic, quiet, and reflective, an environmental warning that refrains from throwing its message in your face.
This book contains everything any fan would want to know about
Snowpiercer. With the incredible, generous insight Bong Joon-ho gave me into his creative process, this book serves as a mini film school that any aspiring director should read, Ward tells SYFY WIRE.

Parasite, Bong made his jolting English-language debut,
Snowpiercer, adapted from the French graphic novel
Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand, and Jean-Marc Rochette.
Starring Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton, the film s apocalyptic eco-story is set in a future 17 years after a failed experiment to halt global warming. An Ice Age kills off life on the planet except for the inhabitants of the Snowpiercer, a supertrain that loops around the globe powered by a sacred perpetual-motion engine. Conflict within the class system evolves on the doomsday train as a violent revolution brews.

Director Bong Joon-ho
Bong Joon-ho has enthusiastically agreed to preside over the jury.â So said Artistic Director
Alberto Barbera this morning as he conveyed the news that the great South Korean director, who won four Oscars in 2020 and the Palme dâOr at Cannes for
Parasite, has been chosen as the president of the international jury of the Competition, tasked with handing out the Golden Lion for Best Film and the other official prizes at the next edition of the Mostra (1-11 September 2021).
If anything heralded the arrival of a year like no other, it was the unmistakable screech of
Cats at the box office. Tom Hooper’s cinematic adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s bonkers feline musical may have officially arrived in December, but it was really the first major flop of 2020. Instead of ascending to the Heaviside layer, the film quietly died in an alleyway, the Jellicle cats dragging in less than $75 million worldwide. Me-ouch. In early 2020, it was the ultimate film gag – from the hasty re-edit to remove Judi Dench’s human hands, to stars Rebel Wilson and James Corden poking fun at the terribleness of their own movie at the Oscars (much to the chagrin of the visual effects artists who raced to complete those Digital Fur Technology shots in time for its release). Cause or correlation, either way Cats marked the turning point at which the entire world suddenly tumbled down the Darkest Timeline.
