In a major validation for Sony and Marvel, “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” has won the Academy Award for animated feature for Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, Rodney Rothman, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
While accepting the award, Lord celebrated what the representation in the movie meant for many. “When we hear that somebody’s kid was watching the movie and turned to them and said, ‘He looks like me,’ or ‘They speak Spanish like us,’ we feel like we already won.”
Sunday’s win capped a strong awards season run for the film, which won the top animated film honor at the Annies, Golden Globes, BAFTA and Producers Guild Awards. It’s one of the biggest awards to date for a title based on Marvel characters, along with “Big Hero 6,” which also won the animated feature trophy in 2015.

'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' poster. With Daniel Radcliffe. Rupert Grint. Emma Watson. 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' quiz question: Does state-of-the-art CGI equal movie magic? (Oscar Movie Series) Alfonso Cuarón seems like an odd choice for director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the third installment in the Harry Potter movie series. That is, if one thinks only of Cuarón's pre-Harry Potter sleeper hit, the François Truffaut-esque Y tu mamá también, while ignoring two of his earlier efforts, the critically acclaimed A Little Princess and the moderately respected Great Expectations. This time around, working with a reported $130 million budget (approx. $163 million in 2015), state-of-the-art special effects, and the Harry Potter franchise, Cuarón surely could do no wrong. At the box office, that is. For although Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is stylistically superior to Chris Columbus' previous work in the series,...

Over the last year or two we've seen a ton of anime movies and series optioned for live action remakes, and while most of them seem to be sitting in development hell for the time being (with the exception of Akira, which was the subject of two recent casting [1] rumours [2]), this week we have news about one that is actually moving forward. The 1987 cult cyberpunk series Bubblegum Crisis is getting a live action feature film adaptation, albeit a non-Hollywood one, and a director is now attached to the project with production scheduled to start next May. The anime is heavily influenced by Blade Runner and revolves around a team of female mercenaries known as the Knight Sabers who use powered mech suits to fight a corrupt corporation. It takes place in Tokyo in the year 2032, where synthetic lifeforms called Boomers are used for manual labour and military purposes. The movie,...

80s cyberpunk anime series Bubblegum Crisis is set to become a 3D live-action movie…
Unless you're seriously into 80s anime, you may not have heard of Bubblegum Crisis. Starting as an Oav (Original Animation Video) series in 1987, Bubblegum Crisis could be best described as an animated take on the future-noir of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner.
Set in a 2033 Tokyo torn in two by an earthquake, the anime introduced the Knight Sabers, a quartet of female mercenaries, and related their ongoing battle against the Genom Corporation and their army of robots called Boomers.
Best remembered for its distinctive, slinky character designs by Kenichi Sonoda, Bubblegum Crisis spawned several spin-offs (including Bubblegum Crash), tie-in videogames and a Dark Horse comic series courtesy of writer/artist Adam Warren.
According to Bleeding Cool, a 3D live-action adaptation of Bubblegum Crisis is in the works, with Anthony Lamolinara in the director's chair. Lamolinara is...
