‘War for the Planet of the Apes’ and ‘Blade Runner 2049’
The nominations for the sixteenth edition of the Visual Effects Society (VES) Awards have been announced and some of the usual suspects in the form of big-budget Hollywood productions are expectedly hot on the trail.
Denis Villeneuve’s neo-noir science fiction Blade Runner 2049 and the concluding installment of the Apes franchise War for the Planet of the Apes race ahead with a staggering seven nominations in all, whereas Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Star Wars: The Last Jedi too make their presence felt with three and four nominations respectively.
The latest awards night of VES would also witness a lifetime achievement award being dished out to the Hollywood actor-director Jon Favreau, who’ll join the elite likes of Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Sir Ridley Scott and Stan Lee as the honorary recipients of the gong.
On the television front, cult fantasy drama Game of Thrones once again hogs the nominations with 11 of them. Having swept aside the prize in numbers in the earlier editions, the popular TV series once again starts as favourites.
Disney Pixar’s ‘Coco’
Disney Pixar’s Coco resonated its heart-warming rendition with the fans all over, and its amazing run at the awards continue with another four nominations at the VES, including the marquee one such as outstanding visual effects in an animated feature.
But laying the gauntlet for it to pick will be Despicable Me 3, the Universal Pictures animation that was although subject to mixed reaction, emerged a financial winner and now competes in five categories, the most for any from its domain.
Some of the other top billing include outstanding visual effects in a photoreal feature, outstanding visual effects in an animated feature, outstanding visual effects in a photoreal episode, outstanding animated character in a photoreal feature and outstanding animated character in an animated feature among the others.

Comics and sports don’t normally go hand-in-hand. But they sure find a significant place in our lives at varying times. At Chennai-based Sportwalk though, the two entities are more than just in chorus, for they come together in a unique vertical to celebrate the passion of sports through the mania of comics.
Sportwalk digital media lead Abhranil Roy
Started as an initiative to build fan communities of different sports by Divakar KS and Adheedhan, the sports-merchandise-sports blog has tapped into the comics sphere recently with the launch of The Wall, a graphical novel on ace cricketer Rahul Dravid to celebrate his forty-fifth birthday.
Sportwalk digital media lead Abhranil Roy explains the motivation for touching upon this new segment- “Comics were an inseparable part of every Indian kid’s life in the 90s, be it Tinkle or Chandamama or some other publication. However, over the years they have become less popular due to the advent of digital media and we wanted to revive that lost charm. At Sportwalk, we try to imbibe great content with great designs and that is how the idea of venturing into comics came up.”
“Our love for comics is eclipsed only by our love for sports, and what better way to celebrate them by merging them together in the form of a comic book,” he further added.
Their new publication is a humble tribute to the former Indian batsman that entails his best moments on the field; something that Roy describes as “15 moments from his career that made us fall in love with him and elevated him to a truly great icon.”
An excerpt from ‘The Wall’
Not only elucidated with shrewd descriptions by writer Himanshu, but these glorious moments are also re-created through deft sketchworks by Adheedhan that bring alive those episodes of history. “Dravid was the embodiment of “The Gentleman’s Game” and he is easily one of our foremost sporting idols. The idea was to celebrate his birthday by paying a humble tribute to him in the form of our first comic book project.”
He may have rode into the sunset long ago, but Dravid’s legacy continues to shine bright. And the buoyed response to The Wall stands a solid testimony to the same. An ecstatic Roy says, “We have been blown away by the response so far! Cricket lovers from far and wide, not only in India but also from USA and South Africa have ordered for their copies.”
“We are also featured on websites like The Scroll, MensXP, BBC Tamil, Times of India among others,” he further adds.
The official offline launch would take place at the next Sportwalk Huddle, a local gathering of sports fanatics, on 20 January 2017 in The Backyard, Huddle, Chennai following which the shipment to the customers would begin.
But even before that, Sportwalk has already set sights on its next release that’s based on the Premier League behemoths Manchester United, chronicling some of their indelible memories that are cherished by a Mancunian even to the day. “Manchester United is one of the biggest sporting brands in the world and our next comic book project will be on them. The format will be the same as that of The Wall, but the number of moments will be more,” explains Roy.
“We are looking to launch it at the start of the 2018-19 season.”
Last year, Sportwalk also became the first sports comic brand to exhibit Comic Con India tour when they set up stalls at the venue, and the fanfare apparently was overwhelming. “We were initially a bit unsure about whether people would like to buy only sports-related designs, but the response at Hyderabad cleared all our doubts. Mumbai and Bangalore resonated with the same frequency, flocking our stalls in numbers and we were completely overwhelmed.”
Suffice to say, Sportwalk did have a resounding debut at the Comic Con, and are now chomping at the bit to experience it all over again this year. “It was one helluva experience and we can’t wait to do it all over again. We are looking to attend more Comic Cons this year and hopefully they go as well as they did last time.”
Amen to that.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) today kicked up a hornet’s nest by sharing a snap of one of its exciting upcoming release. And for once, it isn’t Black Panther.
The official Facebook handle of the studios teased Ant-Man alongside his new ally, the Wasp; the first time that we see them share an on-screen space.
The Wasp and Ant-Man together seen for the first time
Post the apocalyptic Infinity War, the Ant-Man surfaces with a sequel to its 2015 sleeper solo, and the newly released picture from the same gives a glimpse of what’s in store. The photo shows lead characters Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) in their respective superhero costumes.
The Ant-Man dawns the red hi-tech costume seen in the previous two movies whereas the Wasp is seen tucked-away in a black and blue costume, both of which appear to be well designed and appealing to the eye.
In accordance with other action-packed movies lined up for release in the next few months, fans will definitely have a barrage of movies to look forward to.
Ant-Man and the Wasp, directed by Peyton Reed, is in the post-production stage and is slated for a release on 6 July 2018.
