    Director Terrence Malick’s Voyage of Time: The IMAX Experience will make its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. The American auteur’s documentary debut, Voyage of Time will screen in two formats at the festival.

    Narrated by Brad Pitt, Voyage of Time: The IMAX Experience is an ambitious 45-minute celebration of life, the history of the universe and its awe-inspiring vastness. An extraordinary giant-screen journey that spans galaxies and eons, the film will join the three other titles that will be shown in IMAX at the Festival.

    “We are thrilled that TIFF [Toronto International Film Festival] audiences will be the first to experience the first documentary of this film visionary in glorious IMAX,” said TIFF director and CEO, Piers Handling. “It’s an honor to have the world and North American Premieres of the two versions of Malick’s magnum opus, one of the most remarkable cinematic experiences of the year.”

    The standard film version of the documentary, Voyage of Time: Life’s Journey, the 90-minute cut narrated by Cate Blanchett, was previously announced to have its North American Premiere at TIFF. The presentations of the IMAX and standard films give Toronto audiences a unique opportunity to watch two artistic interpretations from one of the world’s most visionary filmmakers.

    Working with a team of scientific advisors and visual effects artists led by Dan Glass (The Tree of Life, Batman Begins, The Matrix Reloaded), the film in its two formats shows an array of natural phenomena–celestial and terrestrial, macroscopic and microscopic–in a variety of new ways.

    The 41st Toronto International Film Festival runs September 8-18.

    The End of The “Rust” Criminal Case Against Alec Baldwin May Unlock A Civil Lawsuit

    Tuesday, December 24, 2024

    The conclusion of a criminal case against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer clears the way for a related civil lawsuit by relatives of the deceased woman and efforts to depose the actor under oath, attorneys for plaintiffs in the civil suit said Tuesday.

    At a news conference in Los Angeles, victims' rights attorney Gloria Allred said that the parents and younger sister of deceased cinematographer Halyna Hutchins were disappointed that prosecutors won't appeal the dismissal of an involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin. The criminal charge against Baldwin was dismissed halfway through trial in July on allegations that police and prosecutors withheld evidence from the defense.

    Hutchins died shortly after being wounded during a rehearsal in the movie "Rust" in October 2021 at a film-set ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

    Baldwin, the lead actor and coproducer, was pointing a pistol at Hutchins when it discharged, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin has said he pulled back the hammer — but not the trigger — and the revolver fired.

    Allred said Hutchins' relatives are determined to pursue damages and compensation from Baldwin and "Rust" producers in New Mexico civil court, and want Baldwin to answer questions under oath in the proceedings. Hutchins' widower and son previously reached a separate legal settlement.

    "With the withdrawal that was made public yesterday, we are now able to proceed with our civil case," Allred said. "Clearly, the rights of Alec Baldwin were protected, but the due process rights of the victims — Halyna Hutchins and her parents and her sister — were violated."

    Allred said she's ready to prove that Hutchins had a close relationship... Read More
