Early predictions are sometimes more accurate in the visual effects race than in other categories, owing to the huge budgets, advanced production time, and big-studio nature of these films. But we should always leave room for a few surprises, especially when so many of the films listed below are sequels, reboots and long promised projects used to excite (or infuriate) fans.

Why aren't you updating the closer Oscars and these ones that are so far away? I'm personally much more interested in the current race and the next one. But to jump 3-4 years is too much.
ReplyDeleteMy advice is to update the closer first, than the far away ones.
Thanks lime_vortep. I'm running out the door now, but will try to post a longer response later today (might be tomorrow for your time zone.)
ReplyDeleteBut the short answer is Venice, Toronto and Telluride, combined with my goal of filling in those future years that are looking a little weak.
I agree with your advice in that I need to find a way to rotate these a bit to keep people's interest, and am working on a schedule for that now.
Watch for a longer explanation post coming soon. And thanks for being a loyal reader!
