Peter Caranicas, a Variety editor for 16 years who was respected for his expertise in production and technology, died Sunday in Los Angeles after a long battle with cancer. He was 80.
Caranicas covered film and TV production, the birth of cable and satellite TV and much more over his long career as a writer and editor at Variety and other entertainment business publications. For years, Caranicas spearheaded Variety‘s annual Legal Impact Report as well as its year-end Dealmakers issue.
The affable and level-headed editor was remembered by his colleagues for his wide knowledge of technology and its impact on the entertainment business. He was well traveled and worldly, having lived and worked in Europe, Asia and Latin America. He was a graduate of Yale University and the London School of Economics.

“Queen Rock Montreal” will make its global streaming premiere May 15 on Disney+ as the first concert film available with Imax Enhanced sound by DTS.
When it arrived in theaters in January, the remastered 1981 concert was Imax’s biggest exclusive engagement. Now, it will debut on Disney+ alongside 18 Marvel films that will also be offered with Imax Enhanced sound on supported devices, Imax’s senior VP and head of Imax post and image capture Bruce Markoe announced during a panel Sunday at the Nab Show in Las Vegas.
The original concerts, featuring Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon, took place over two consecutive nights in November 1981, and were arranged specifically to be filmed for a full-length concert film to document their live show. The performance includes classics such as “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Somebody to Love.” It was restored for Imax by Mercury Studios.

When the Writers Guild of America went on strike last May, union leaders argued that artificial intelligence posed an existential threat to writers, painting a picture of a dystopian future in which TV shows might be crafted by one writer and a machine.
Ten months later, the tone in Hollywood labor circles has shifted significantly. At a March 3 rally in Los Angeles, Matthew Loeb, international president of IATSE, argued that AI has the potential to make union members’ jobs easier.
“We want some of the spoils of artificial intelligence,” Loeb said.
AI is high on the agenda as IATSE looks to set a new three-year contract with Hollywood’s major studios and streamers before the July 31 expiration of its current deal. Like the other unions that have struck new contracts over the past year — the WGA, SAG-AFTRA, the Directors Guild of America and the American Federation of Musicians — IATSE is seeking “guardrails” on AI use.

In director J.A. Bayona and cinematographer Pedro Luque’s new film Society of the Snow, the filmmakers set out to create an ambitious adaptation of a book (of the same name) about the 1972 Uruguayan Andes flight disaster. The nonfiction book, which was written 40 years after the crash, documents the accounts of the 16 survivors — Bayona was attracted to the material because it was “less about the action and more about the reflection,” he told The Hollywood Reporter tech editor Carolyn Giardina during a special edition of THR Presents: Live from EnergaCameraimage.
The Netflix production, he adds, was treated in effect as a documentary; he began with extensive interviews with survivors and the families of victims. “I really wanted to find a new angle in the story because I knew the stories are very popular,” Bayona said. “To me, it was more about capturing the meaningful details.”

The New Boy — the story of a young Aboriginal Australian orphan boy that was written, directed and lensed by Warwick Thornton — collected the Golden Frog in the main competition of the 31st EnergaCamerimage international cinematography film festival, which closed Saturday night in Torún, Poland.
Cinematographer Ed Lachman received the Silver Frog for Pablo Larraín’s El Conde, which positions Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet as a vampire. Robbie Ryan’s lensing of Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, the story of a young woman (Emma Stone) brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist, claimed the Bronze Frog as well as the Audience Award. (Ryan collected the Golden Frog two years ago, for Mike Mills’ C’mon C’mon, and Lachman won the Golden Frog in 2015, for Todd Haynes’ Carol.).

Digital artists and visual effects pros acknowledge that artificial intelligence-driven tools can contribute to the creative process. But they lament that jobs will be lost, ethics will be challenged, and it could lead to a “dehumanization of art” in a new episode of The Hollywood Reporter‘s podcast series Behind the Screen. The episode is an edited version of a candid panel discussion surrounding AI, recorded Oct. 19 at the View VFX and computer graphics conference in Torino, Italy.
The panel featured artist, designer and creative technologist Scott Eaton; artist and designer, Renderman, Dylan Sisson; VFX supervisor Andreas Maaninka; Richard Scott, CEO and co-founder of Axis Studios; and Daryl Anselmo, an artist and designer who works primarily in the games industry. Behind the Screen host and THR tech editor Carolyn Giardina moderated the discussion.

In terms of the sheer number of entertainment options, there’s never been a better time to be a kid. But it’s also never been more work.
The average 8-year-old in 2013 could turn on one of a few TV channels and park there for an hour or two, and maybe watch a few movies or shows on Netflix or Hulu (in the not-very-likely event their families had an account). YouTube was for teenagers and adults.
A decade later, an 8-year-old can choose from hundreds of titles across a host of streaming platforms and thousands of YouTube channels — as well as an age-protected YouTube Kids app — to say nothing of TikTok and other social media. The shift to streaming is even more pronounced among kids and teenagers than it is in adults: Where a popular network or cable show can still draw maybe half a million adults ages 18-34, no...

Apple on Monday entered a new category of interest to Hollywood: The virtual reality/augmented reality space, and the Apple Vision Pro is the company’s first product in that sector, as well as the first entirely new product category in nearly a decade.
The headset was announced Monday by CEO Tim Cook during a keynote address at the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference. It will “start at $3,499” and launch in early 2024.
And in a sign of how important entertainment will be to the product, Disney CEO Bob Iger appeared onstage during the presentation, calling the product “real life magic” and announcing that Disney+ would be available on the Vision Pro on the day it launches.

The herculean effort to make James Cameron’s groundbreaking Avatar: The Way of Water and deliver the movie to theaters around the world for its Dec. 16 day-and-date release was the subject of a day-long series of panels and presentations, Tuesday at the Hpa (Hollywood Professional Association) Tech Retreat.
A sold-out crowd of 750 Hollywood tech leaders, developers and suppliers got a look at the unprecedented initiative to deliver the movie to theaters undertaken by Disney, 20th Century Studios, Cameron and producer Jon Landau’s Lightstorm Entertainment, and their suppliers.
With digital cinema, theaters vary greatly in their screening capabilities, and Cameron and Landau were bullish about delivering the best possible experience to each individual theater. In the case of Avatar: The Way of Water, this involved the creation of a whopping 1,065 unique delivery versions of the movie. This unheard-of number of deliverables included combinations of 2D, 3D, Hdr, 4K, varying light levels,...

“TÁR” cinematographer Florian Hoffmeister has received the 30th EnergaCAMERIMAGE Festival’s Golden Frog. Over the past 10 years, five of the award’s recipients have also been nominated for Best Cinematography at the Oscars—“Ida,” “Carol,” “Lion,” “Joker,” and “Nomadland.” 2021’s Silver and Bronze Frog recipients, “The Tragedy of Macbeth” and “Dune,” were also recognized by the Academy (“Dune” eventually won). Dovetailing with Hoffmeister’s Independent Spirit Awards nomination, the annual cinematography-centric festival in Poland has boosted “TÁR” into Gold Derby’s projected top 10. In our Spirit Awards ranking, the movie recently overtook “Aftersun” (Gregory Oke) as the frontrunner.
See How to watch ‘Tar’ online
“TÁR” is without question a performance showcase for Cate Blanchett, but from the sound design (credited to composer Hildur Guðnadóttir) to what Gold Derby’s Joyce Eng has called Hoffmeister’s “brutalist” photography (27:53), there’s a lot going on beneath the movie’s gray, icy exterior.

“Funan,” the story of a young mother trying to reunite her family during the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia of the 1970s, won both the Grand Prize and the Audience Award at the Animation Is Film Festival, held Oct. 19-21 in Los Angeles. The film, directed by Denis Do, made its North American debut at the event.
“’Funan’ reminds us that animation can tell any kind of story. This versatile medium is by no means limited to fantastical or extraordinary subjects, but is in fact uniquely suited to incredibly personal ones as well,” said Peter Debruge, jury chairman and Variety’s chief film critic. “With ‘Funan,’ Do explores what his Cambodian mother experienced at the hands of the Khmer Rouge regime, finding unexpected beauty within the horror of the situation. The jury agreed that the profound result actually feels more powerful by virtue of being made in animation.”
