Herding a voice cast for a whole flock of wooly characters is no mean feat, but there’s an additional twist to finding the right actors for The Sheep Detectives. Every sheep has its own unique personality, but the actors’ delivery and mannerisms would directly influence how their sheep would be fleshed out through animation.

High stakes, higher returns. Crime 101, a crime thriller with a dazzling all-star cast consisting of Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, and Barry Keoghan. The film is adapted from Don Winslow’s acclaimed novella of the same name, and helmed by Bart Layton as writer and director.
Layton is no stranger to stories of people living outside the shadow of the law, and he saw the perfect setting for his next endeavor in Crime 101. “I felt like many of the characters are slightly trapped in that sense of ‘I'm never going to feel good about my place in the world unless I have this,’” Layton says. “L.A. is a place that really nurtures that sense of: if you want to really be somebody and feel like you are of value, you need to have all the external trappings of great success. I think status anxiety is a constant thing.”
Mercy rises to the top of the American box office in its debut, the futuristic action thriller dethroning Avatar: Fire and Ash’s five-week reign. Mercy is set in a not too distant future, where Det. Chris Raven (Chris Pratt) stands accused of killing his wife. He has ninety minutes to prove his innocence to the A.I. judge Maddox (Rebecca Ferguson), or face the death penalty.
Watch Chris Pratt’s greeting: https://youtu.be/md_6ZdEWNfI
The cast talks about how the film makes use of the current rise of AI, with Chris Pratt explaining the progression of Judge Maddox’s character. “Chris Raven’s story is his attempt to establish he’s not guilty while being forced to come to terms with his demons,” says Pratt, “but an equally incredible arc is the character of Judge Maddox, who feels like a cold, calculating computer program but through the course of the film actually becomes more sentient. She’s a character who essentially is trying to hide the humanity creeping up inside of her programming.”

Chris Pratt takes a selfie with fans at the premiere of Mercy, localised to Sin Piedad, on January 17 at the Cinépolis Mitikah in Mexico City, MX
Actor Chris Pratt received a warm welcome from his fans in Mexico City as he made an appearance at the red carpet premiere of his latest film, Mercy (localised as Sin Piedad), last January 17.

The intensity is cranked up to the max as director Timur Bekmambetov’s signature Screenlife style evolves in his dystopian action thriller Mercy. Known for his work in Unfriended and Searching, his fusion of traditional cinematography and onscreen filming pulls the audience into the story. Bekmambetov’s goal has always been to let moviegoers have the most immersive experience possible. “The Screenlife genre requires believable performances and very grounded storytelling,” says Bekmambetov. “When I began Mercy, I thought, ‘In real life I live in two realities at once — the physical world, and a world of windows, buttons, clicks, messages. I work, I fight with people, forgive people, all not in the physical world. So why are we not telling stories about that?’”

“The Bone Temple reminds us that everything seems hopeless,” director Nia DaCosta says. “But at the same time, if you’re still alive, you can accomplish something meaningful with your life. For Dr. Ian Kelson, it’s building this monument to death, which inversely, is what gives him the energy to live.”

Best friends forever, or until one of them gets eaten. Get ready for a hilariously good time in Anaconda, a comedy adventure starring genre superstars Jack Black and Paul Rudd. Anaconda is directed by Tom Gornican, and also stars Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton, Daniela Melchior and Selton Mello.
Childhood best friends Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) are going through a shared midlife crisis, pushing them into fulfilling a lifelong dream: shooting a remake of their all time favorite film: Anaconda. Heading deep into the Amazon, all bets are off once an actual giant anaconda appears, and comedy ensues as they try to escape a deadly situation.
In PH cinemas Jan 8
One of the core components for co-writer Kevin Etten and co-writer-director Tom Gornician in making the comedy adventure Anaconda is getting actors who can face a truly terrifying situation while still keeping things fun. “Tom and I have done this kind of ‘comedy under duress’ before, in which we take people who are wildly unequipped to handle the situations in which they land. We throw the craziest obstacles at them, and let them be idiots, while letting them play the real fear of the situation. We wanted to stay as far away as we could from winking at the danger and not feeling the stakes, and to feel as real as possible,” Etten explains.
They felt that they truly hit the jackpot with Jack Black and Paul Rudd, with Thandiwe Newton, Steve Zahn, Daniela Melchior and Selton Mello to support them. “Jack, Paul, Thandiwe, Steve, Selton, and Daniela all have such great comedic instincts,” Etten continues. “They always played it real but knew how to tweak that just a little bit to get a big laugh.”
