In ‘Racing Extinction’ The Director Of ‘The Cove’ Targets A Network Of Earth’s Problems [Sundance 2015] By Russ Fischer/Jan. 26, 2015 12:15 pm EST The Cove director Louie Psihoyos returns to Sundance in 2015 with a new call to action.

Peter Jackson Responds To Criticism Of 48-Frames Footage Of ‘The Hobbit’ By Angie Han/April 28, 2012 1:43 pm EST One of the biggest — and unhappiest — surprises to come out of CinemaCon this past week was the underwhelming reception to the ten minutes of The Hobbit footage screened at the event. The film is notable for having been shot at a higher rate of 48 frames per second instead of the usual 24, and though there’s no denying that the rate increase makes a noticeable difference, not all attendees were convinced it was a good one....
