The beloved movie alien E.T. has come back to Earth, this time reuniting with his friend Elliott, who is now an adult with kids of his own.
Elliott’s family shows E.T. how to surf the web via Comcast Xfinity and use a remote to play holiday movies on a big-screen television. In return, Elliott teaches the kids some tricks of his own, most notably how to fly, literally, on their bicycles.
Lance Acord of Park Pictures directed and shot the live action for Goodby Silverstein & Partners, with visual effects from the a52 studio.

Ad agency Innocean Berlin has launched a full visual rebrand and platform for NewMotion, designed to bring more diverse talent behind the camera by giving German production companies a way to open their sets to new voices.
The launch comes at a pivotal moment for the German film industry: In recent years, Germany has seen global acclaim for Oscar-nominated and award-winning productions like All Quiet on the Western Front and The Teacher’s Lounge. At this year’s Berlinale, the number of national and co-produced films reached an all-time high. Meanwhile, the federal government has committed to nearly doubling its production funding, now reaching €250 million ($291 million U.S.)

At the heart of the project is Germany’s largest online film industry database, a platform designed to connect production companies with aspiring crew members through on-set shadowing experiences, developed in collaboration with BuzzWoo. Covering more than 60 different behind-the-scenes roles, the online platform provides applicants with hands-on access to an industry that has often been difficult to break into.
The platform provides users with real-time listings for shadowing, internships, and training opportunities. For those unsure where to start, there’s an AI-powered “Skillmatcher” tool, an interactive quiz that suggests suitable film professions based on users’ personal strengths and interests. An additional interactive film experience lets users explore a virtual film set and learn about various roles by clicking on... Read More
