‘Stranger Things' season 5 teaser release date out as 'last adventure begins', new poster makes stunning debut
fans heaved a sigh of relief after the announcement that the first teaser for the final season of the long-running Netflix series would premiere tomorrow. 'One last adventure begins. Teaser tomorrow,' the Stranger Things official X account wrote on July 15.
The new poster for Stranger Things 5 was also shared with the post and it featured a slick callback to seasons past. In the image, Will (Noah Schnapp), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), and Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) pedal their bikes through the eerie landscape of Hawkins, Indiana. Above them, ominous red clouds swirl as Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), the chilling villain from Stranger Things Season 4, looms threateningly overhead.

The wait is finally over for Stranger Things fans as they have been waiting for years to watch the epic conclusion of the popular Netflix show. Season 4 premiered in the summer of 2022, and left viewers on quite the cliffhanger.
Max (Sadie Sink) had been attacked by Vecna and left in a coma with some pretty gnarly injuries. While Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Steve (Joe Keery) and Robin (Maya Hawke) thought they shot and killed the big bad, after exiting the Creel house, his body was nowhere to be found. In the ending shot of the season, the group looked out over Hawkins as the Upside Down began to creep into more of the real world, hinting that things were about to get a lot worse.

Netflix reveals first-ever show it created using generative AI, CEO Ted Sarandos says, ‘We were thrilled…'
Netflix has revealed its first-ever show that was created using generative AI. The streaming giant's co-CEO, Ted Sarandos , said that the company was "thrilled" with the results. The company used the technology to reduce costs on "The Eternaut," an Argentine production based on a science fiction comic. Sarandos confirmed that "The Eternaut" is the first Netflix title to incorporate fully AI-generated shots in its final footage. This includes a sequence depicting the collapse of a building in Buenos Aires. According to Sarandos, such an effect would not have been cost-effective for a production of " The Eternaut 's" size without the use of AI. What Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said about using AI in production During Netflix's recent quarterly earnings call, Sarandos told analysts: "In fact, that VFX sequence was completed 10 times faster than it could have been completed with visual, traditional VFX tools and workflows. The creators were thrilled with the result. We were thrilled with the result. And more importantly, the audience was thrilled with the result. So, I think these tools are helping creators expand the possibilities of storytelling on screen, and that is endlessly exciting.' This is not the first time Netflix has turned to AI for production. Previously, Sarandos has highlighted the company's use of AI in Rodrigo Prieto's film Pedro Páramo. He explained how it significantly reduced the cost of de-ageing effects, especially when compared to the much more expensive approach used in Martin Scorsese's The Irishman. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo During Netflix's first quarter earnings call in April, Sarandos said: "In fact, the entire budget of the film was about the VFX cost on 'The Irishman.'' Despite this, the use of AI continues to be a complex topic within Hollywood. In 2023, concerns over its use played a key role in the actors' and writers' strikes that temporarily halted production. Viewers also criticised Marvel Studios for using AI-generated credit art in Secret Invasion on Disney+. At the same time, filmmaker Tyler Perry said he delayed expanding his studio due to the capabilities AI already offers. One of the most likely areas to see changes is visual effects, especially as audience expectations for action-heavy and superhero films put pressure on production costs. As Netflix's recent developments show, the impact of AI is extending beyond just big-budget films. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

Video game franchise 'Assassin's Creed' live action series in works
The work on the long-awaited 'Assassin's Creed' live-action series has finally begun at Netflix.

The project has gone through multiple creative teams in that time, with Roberto Patino and David Wiener now set as creators, showrunners, and executive producers. "We've been fans of 'Assassin's Creed' since its release in 2007," Wiener and Patino said. "Every day we work on this show, we come away excited and humbled by the possibilities that 'Assassin's Creed' opens to us. Beneath the scope, the spectacle, the parkour and the thrills is a baseline for the most essential kind of human story -- about people searching for purpose, struggling with questions of identity and destiny and faith," added Weiner and Patino as quoted by Variety. While talking about the series, the creators said that the show is about the value of "human connection" and "cultures". "It is about power and violence and sex and greed and vengeance. But more than anything, this is a show about the value of human connection, across cultures, across time. And it's about what we stand to lose as a species, when those connections break. We've got an amazing team behind us with the folks at Ubisoft and our champions at Netflix, and we're committed to creating something undeniable for fans all over the planet," said Wiener and Patino. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ukraine: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo In addition to Wiener and Patino, Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin, and Austin Dill of Ubisoft Film & Television serve as executive producers, as does Matt O'Toole.
