First render of Brave and interview with Brenda Chapman!
28/05/2011
Finally! Here we have the first rendered image of Brave, the next Pixar film opening in cinemas on July 22nd 2012.
It seems that a trailer of Brave will be attached to Cars 2 when that one is released next June, so this image would have been taken from there.
Apart of that, I found a very interesting interview with the ex-director of the film, Brenda Chapman, talking about the women's role in the industry. Remember Chapman was removed from directing just little time before Tangled's premiere, and the oficial reason was " creative differences". However she is still bound to Pixar and she'll appear on
the credits as one of the directors. That make a lot of people think it's because of the contract she might signed with Pixar.
Read the article and tell us your thoughts.

Tintin new posters and trailer!!
22/05/2011
First of all I apologize for this delay posting news but I´m having such a hard time at work and I can hardly keep the pace.
Anyway, here we have an exciting stuff! Finally they´re starting to show more material of the incoming film of Tintin.
Remember that behind this piece are Spielberg and Peter Jackson controlling the show, which always is a guarantee of quality.
This time they come up with a realistic version of the comic character, with a mocap technic already used in Avatar.
The film is set to be released in the UK next October 28th.
