SING 2 – Official Trailer #2 (Universal Pictures) // Sing – Die Show deines Lebens – Offizieller Trailer #2

Sing 2 Early Access Screenings on November 27 https://www.singmovie.com

Film Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Tori Kelly, Nick Kroll, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Pharrell Williams, Letitia Wright, Eric Andre, Chelsea Peretti, Bono

Written by: Garth Jennings

Directed by: Garth Jennings Producers: Chris Meledandri, Janet Healy

The new chapter in Illumination’s smash animated franchise returns with big dreams and spectacular hit songs as can-do koala Buster Moon and his all-star cast of animal performers prepare to launch their most dazzling stage extravaganza yet …in the glittering entertainment capital of the world. There’s just one hitch: They first have to persuade the world’s most reclusive rock star—played by legendary music icon Bono, making his animated film debut—to join them. Buster (Oscar® winner Matthew McConaughey) and his cast have turned the New Moon Theater into a local hit, but Buster has his eyes on a bigger prize: Debuting a new show at the Crystal Tower Theater in glamorous Redshore City. But with no connections, Buster and his cast—including harried mother pig Rosita (Oscar® winner Reese Witherspoon), rocker porcupine Ash (Scarlett Johansson), earnest gorilla Johnny (Taron Egerton), shy elephant Meena (Tori Kelly) and, of course, porcine provocateur extraordinaire Gunter (Nick Kroll)—have to sneak their way into the world-famous Crystal Entertainment offices, run by a ruthless mogul wolf named Jimmy Crystal (Emmy winner Bobby Cannavale). In a desperate attempt to get Mr. Crystal’s attention, Gunter spontaneously pitches an outrageous idea that Buster quickly runs with, promising that their new show will star lion rock legend Clay Calloway (Bono). Problem is, Buster has never met Clay, an artist who shut himself away from the world more than a decade ago after the loss of his wife and hasn’t been seen since. As Gunter helps Buster dream up an out-of-this-world theatrical masterpiece, and the pressure (and sinister threats) from Mr. Crystal mount, Buster embarks on a quest to find Clay and persuade him to return to the stage. What begins as Buster’s dream of big-time success becomes an emotional reminder of the power of music to heal even the most broken heart.

Sing 2 is written and directed by acclaimed returning filmmaker Garth Jennings and features, in addition to Bono’s and Cannavale’s roles, new characters played by music superstars Pharrell Williams and Halsey, Black Panther’s Letitia Wright, and comedians Eric Andre and Chelsea Peretti. The film is produced by visionary Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri and by Janet Healy. Sing 2 combines dozens of classic rock and pop hit songs, electrifying performances, breathtaking artistry, and Illumination’s signature humor and heart into the definitive feel-good cinematic event of the year.

Drehbuch: Garth Jennings

Regie: Garth Jennings

Produzenten: Chris Meledandri, Janet Healy

Buster Moon und seine All-Stars träumen von der Show ihres Lebens und riskieren alles dafür! In der Weihnachtssaison 2021 wird im Kino die Bühne noch größer und das Scheinwerferlicht noch heller, denn mit dem neuen Animations-Abenteuer SING – DIE SHOW DEINES LEBENS präsentieren die Macher von Ich – Einfach unverbesserlich, Minions und Pets aus dem Hause Illumination Entertainment die mit Spannung und Vorfreude erwartete Fortsetzung des für zwei Golden Globes nominierten Publikumserfolgs Sing. Natürlich wieder mit toller Musik und viel Spaß für die ganze Familie. Diesmal will Koala Buster Moon die extravaganteste und schillerndste Bühnenshow präsentieren, die es je zu sehen gab. Große Träume und spektakuläre Hits verlangen aber auch nach einer größeren Bühne als die des Moon Theater. Das Crystal Tower Theater in der glamourösen Großstadt wäre perfekt – aber es gibt ein kleines Problem. Eigentlich drei. Zuerst müssen Buster Moon, Schweinemutter Rosita, Rocker-Stachelschwein Ash, Elefantin Meena, Gorilla Johnny und der Pop-Provokateur, Schwein Gunter, irgendwie bis zum Büro des Musikmoguls Jimmy Crystal vordringen und den skrupellosen Wolf davon überzeugen, ihnen sein Theater zu überlassen. Ein hoffnungsloses Unterfangen, bis Gunter ihm spontan die Sensation verspricht: Rocklegende Clay Calloway (Bono) wird für diese Show auf die Bühne zurückkehren! Das Problem: Buster hat Clay, einen Löwen, der sich vom Showbusiness zurückgezogen hat, noch nie getroffen! Während Moons All-Star-Ensemble daran arbeitet, die spektakuläre Show auf die Beine zu stellen, macht sich der Koala auf die Suche nach Clay. Was als Traum von einem großen Erfolg beginnt, wird zu einer emotionalen Erinnerung an die heilende Kraft der Musik.

Neben Rocklegende Bono, der in SING – DIE SHOW DEINES LEBENS sein Animationsfilm-Debüt gibt, sind diesmal auch die Musik-Superstars Pharrell Williams und Halsey mit dabei. Für die Regie und das Drehbuch der Blockbuster-Fortsetzung zeichnet wieder Garth Jennings verantwortlich. Produziert wird SING – DIE SHOW DEINES LEBENS von Illumination-CEO Chris Meledandri und seiner langjährigen Produktionspartnerin Janet Healy.

Super excited to confirm HaZ Dulull, Director at HAZFILM LTD, will be a speaker at RTC Dec 13-15, 2021!

HaZ’s presentation, „The Power of Automation and Machine Learning Tools in an Animated Feature Film Pipeline“ is part of our Real Time Narrative – The New Independent Scene session.

Home sep 2021

In his talk, HaZ will take us behind the scenes of a project which is currently in production – RIFT. He will talk about the journey leading to RIFT, a look into the Unreal Engine pipeline (also consisting of Reallusion and Xsens mocap pipeline) that the team developed in order to give HaZ as much hands on control as possible as a director on each shot + how the video game spin off is happening at the same time.

The session will start off with exclusive footage shown from the animated feature film RIFT currently in production and then move into how smart tools that utilize machine learning has helped this indie project accelerate production faster than conventional animation and CG pipelines.

Next Animation Studio: Karen Senki Trailer

After a devastating robot apocalypse, the surviving human population struggles to carry on in the rubble of their former lives. One all-powerful robot, Seek, rules over the remaining humans, only allowing them to live in order to study them. One newly-empowered human, Karen Senki, begins her destiny to save them all.

In the beginning, Karen Senki appears to be just a powerless survivor among the throngs, piecing together her life under robot oppression. Fate sends a bullet into her and she is left to die in the streets. But a mysterious shaman saves Karen, wipes her memory, and empowers her with superhuman speed and fighting skills. Now Karen is a powerful force, but a blank slate. Not knowing her true identity or the nature of her skills, she joins a band of rebels known as “The Eleven” who tells Karen, she is the last great hope to save humanity from the robot overlords.

As Karen’s skills grow, she learns that her past — and her future —are inextricably linked to the evil ruler Seek. Karen eventually discovers that her destiny was never a choice.

HUI BUH 2 – Trailer #1 Deutsch German (2021) – HUI BUH 2 – Ab 27 Januar 2022 im Kino!

14Jahre sind vergangen, seit KÖNIG JULIUS (Christoph Maria Herbst) zu HUIBUH (Michael Bully Herbig), ins Schloss Burgeck eingezogen ist. Während HUIBUH noch immer sehr darunter leidet, als Gespenst eine Lachnummer zu sein und damit Julius mächtig auf die Nerven geht, macht dieser eine harte Zeit durch, seit Konstanzia ihn verlassen hat. Auch die gähnende Leere der Schatzkammer des Schlosses wird langsam aber sicher unübersehbar und trägt zum ewigen Streit der beiden bei. Da steht plötzlich die kleine Hexe OPHELIA vor der Tür und bittet ihren Onkel HuiBuh um Hilfe. Sie erzählt Julius und HuiBuh von ihrer Flucht vor der bösen HEXE ERLA, die ihre Mutter entführt hat, auf der Suche nach dem NECRONOMICON, dem mächtigsten Zauberbuch der Welt. Nun ist sie hinter Ophelia her. HuiBuh erkennt eine einzigartige Gelegenheit, endlich gruselig zu werden! Die sagenumwobenen Zaubersprüche des Buches könnte seinen Traum, endlich gruselig zu sein, wahr machen. Doch Ophelia warnt vor der Macht des Necronomicons, das jeden Leser verführen will, per Zauberei Unheil über die Welt zu bringen und drängt darauf, ihre Mutter zu befreien. Gemeinsam mit Ophelia brechen HuiBuh und Julius zu ihrem größten Abenteuer in den Hexenwald auf. An ihrer Seite ist auch wieder Julius ‘treuer Gefährte CHARLES (Rick Kavanian), der immer wieder zur letzten Rettung in der Not wird. Einmal mehr müssen HuiBuh und Julius sich zusammenraufen, um die Welt vor der Finsternis zu bewahren und ganz nebenbei das Kostbarste zu retten, dass sie besitzen: Ihre Freundschaft.
