The week its No Time like the present (03.09.2021)

No Time To Die

We waited (and then waited some more) for this moment, but here he is… Daniel Craig taking his last 007 call to action in not one, but two final trailers for No Time To Die. In the two final cuts we get a glimpse of Bond’s kick-ass companion (Paloma), see more from Rami Malek’s spine-chilling villain (Safin) and see heaps of world-class VFX from our LDN team.

Yesterday we hosted the awards ceremony for the 2021 Launchpad Competition, and we are delighted to announce that Flipmesh are this year’s winning team! Here’s the lovely moment they’ve shared with us when they realised they won.

It was clear from the teaser trailers this year that the stakes were extremely high and Framestore are beyond impressed with the level of dedication and skill! Recruitment would like to say a big thank you to the Framestore judges, the wonderful artists who mentored the teams and everyone who helped along the way.

Venice Film Festival

One of the biggest – and oldest – festivals in the industry is well underway, continuing until next Saturday 11th September. With #Dune currently trending on twitter, Rolling Stone pick out some of the most anticipated movies coming through this year, have a read here.


Matrix-ster

Also trending on twitter was Keanu Reeves. It being his birthday yesterday, we thought we might just get a nice little birthday gift from him in the shape of a Matrix: Resurrections trailer but it’s a negative on that front.


That’s this week all rounded-up. Catch you next time (hopefully with a Matrix trailer). A reminder that Monday 6th September is a public holiday for both MTL and the U.S.
