The new Trailer for S2 of Apple TV+‘s SEE has surfaced. The Series starring Jason Momoa, David Bautista and Alfre Woodard, was filmed right here and wrapped earlier this year in Toronto.
Synopsis:
“See” is set in a brutal and primitive future, hundreds of years after humankind has lost the ability to see.

Despite his best efforts, his wife and sighted children are pulled to the forefront of the conflict, where they come to the attention of his estranged brother, Edo Voss (Bautista), a powerful and cunning Trivantian General, whose long-simmering hatred for his brother imperils them all even further.
Joining Momoa, Bautista and Woodard in the second season are new series regulars Eden Epstein (“Sweetbitter”), Tom Mison (“Watchmen”), Hoon Lee (“Warrior”), Olivia Cheng (“Warrior”), David Hewlett (“The Shape of Water”) and Tamara Tunie (“Flight”).

We are thrilled to have attended an exclusive unveiling of the new Trailer for DUNE, coming to theatres this October. As part of the event, select Media got to preview approximately 20 minutes of this Fall’s most eagerly-awaited cinematic event.
We got a sense of the world that Canadian Director Denis Villeneuve had built for this Film and the central themes the Film explores. Our first impression is that the Film goes to even darker, more intense places than we might have thought initially. The Film explores life on the planet Dune, inhabited originally by the Arrakis. Duke Leto Atreides (Oscar Isaac) acts as steward of the land, which is the source of the world’s most valuable substance called Spice, which can extend lives, provide great enlightenment and fast travel. Sandworms make the task rather challenging for them and with Leto‘s son and heir Paul (Timothée Chalamet) in line for succession, we see him doubting his ability to carry-on his father’s legacy as he becomes fixated seeing Chani (Zendaya), an Arraki native, in his dreams. Which side will Paul and his Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), his father’s concubine, take?
The central themes of right to land and resources eerily is coming to the forefront at an opportune time, as we reflect on and confront some uncomfortable truths right here in Canada.
Celebrated Composer Hans Zimmer has the important role of crafting the world this Film takes place in with Villeneuve through music and sound. He notes that a primary focus of the Film was to draw strength to the powerfulness and richness of the female characters. “We spent months defining sounds, creating new sounds and pushing the envelope, doing crazy experiments with crazy instruments”, says Zimmer. “Denis and I are trying to invite the audience to come experience something and have their own personal experience. That was for us the reason to make this Film.”.

Toronto rolled-out the Blue Carpet tonight at the Canadian Premiere of DC Comics’ long-awaited AQUAMAN. Taking over Scotiabank Theatre, the event saw Cosplayers and contest winners come out for a chance to meet stars Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (The Get Down).
The Duo, in-town for a day of Press tomorrow, walked the Carpet an hour early. Wilson, who plays the titual character’s half-brother Orm and Abdul-Mateem who plays Black Manta, took their time to chat with Media and meet Fans. Wilson did not disappoint stopping for Selfies and Autographs, accommodating as many as he could. The Film has seen a whirlwind promotional tour spanning the globe including a Los Angeles Premiere last week and a Premiere in Australia tomorrow.
The Conjuring Franchise Producer Peter Safran, who also is one of the Producers behind AQUAMAN, also made a surprise appearance. He also produces upcoming DC Comics Adaptation Shazam, with star Zachary Levi making a quiet entrance. The Actor currently is in Toronto filming re-shoots for that Film.
Synopsis:
From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be…a king.
