For those of you pumped for DISNEY+, here’s a sneak peek at some of the PIXAR content to come on the streaming service when it launches November 12, 2019!

“SparkShorts”

Pixar Animation Studios’ short film collection is designed to discover new storytellers and explore new storytelling techniques from across the studio.

“Pixar IRL”

In this short-form series, Pixar characters are brought to life, surprising real people on location and viewers at home.

“Forky Asks A Question”

Forky, from Disney and Pixar’s “Toy Story 4,” is a craft project created from trash, so he has important questions about how the world works, such as: What is love? What is time? He explores all of these questions and more in a collection of 10 shorts.

Visual Effects genius and Director Tim Miller is in Toronto to promote his latest effort, TERMINATOR: DARK FATE. The latest installment in the Blockbuster franchise sees original cast members Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger reuniting on-screen with James Cameron back as Producer. The Film is a continuation of 1984’s The Terminator and 1991’s Terminator: Judgment Day, the first time Cameron has been involved in the Series since then. Miller, known for helming Deadpool to international success, is slated for a day of Press including various morning show visits early tomorrow.

While the Film suffered its namesake dark fate last night with its L.A. Premiere cancelled due the Getty Fire, Miller was in great spirits, surprising fans at Scotiabank Theatre. He did a quick Question and Answer before its IMAX Screening with Richard Crouse. He then made his way to TIFF Bell Lightbox for an extended Q&A later in the evening.

See our Snap with Miller!

We must say we enjoyed TERMINATOR: DARK FATE more than imagined. It takes Miller’s brilliant visual talents and mashes them up with fan favourites Hamilton and Schwarzenegger in a relentless thrill ride which has everyone giving it their every last ounce of energy. Canada’s Mackenzie Davis rises to the occasion and delivers a fierce performance which won’t soon be forgotten. Terminator: Dark Fate caters to modern sensibilities and brings out several laughs, which work surprisingly well and of course, cheers.

TERMINATOR: DARK FATE is in theatres Friday, November 1, 2019.

Just having began production last week in Toronto, the upcoming Remake of THE CRAFT is now officially in full swing. The Blumhouse Productions/Sony Pictures Film by Actor-turned-Director Zoe Lister-Jones (Whitney, New Girl) will continue to film around the City through early December. In addition to Michelle Monaghan being added to the Cast recently, two-time Golden Globe Award winner David Duchovny also has been announced to star. While their roles are undisclosed, they join the four young leads, led by Cailee Spaeny, and it is said the Plot of this Remake mirrors the original, seeing a girl who joins a group of outcasts rumoured to be witches, whom together discover their supernatural powers and complete their coven together, only to encounter some scary consequences.

We spotted Duchovny, who looks amazing by the way, arriving in town to continue work on The Craft and he was amazingly nice to stop for Selfies and autographs, telling fans “Nothing beats the Selfie!”.

See our Snap:

Also seen arriving was tennis star Genie Bouchard who’s appearing at an event at a house party event for Rogers.  Bouchard, who has the distinction of being the first ever Canadian-born player to appear at Wimbledon.  While, she’s seen a bit of tough luck of late, her popularity continues to be high and earlier this year she signed-on as Executive Producer of a 20th Century Fox film inspired by a true story of her being asked on a date by a fan on the condition the New England Patriots won Super Bowl LI, and they did.
