Dreamworks Animation plunges into an underwater fantasy with Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken
Release The Kraken!

PREPARE FOR A SERIOUS smackdown beneath the Seven Seas with Dreamworks Animation’s new family-friendly animated feature Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken.

This ’90s-style coming-of-age fable centres on the gangly teenager of the title (Lana Condor) who discovers that she is descended from generations of mythical sea krakens and that her true destiny lies in a fantastic oceanic kingdom. An ancient feud pits krakens against mermaids in an underwater clash of epic proportions, as we learn that appearances are deceptive and mermaids might not be the alluring enchantresses of maritime folklore…

Directed by The Croods’ Kirk DeMicco from an original screenplay by DeMicco and Pam Brady, Ruby Gillman is poised to be parent company Universal Pictures’ third animation sensation, after the box office bonanzas of Dreamworks’ Puss In Boots: The Last Wish and Illumination’s blockbuster The Super Mario Bros Movie.

The Oscar-nominated director took a break from post-production mixing at Skywalker Sound to chat to Red Alert about Ruby Gillman’s vivid visual style and crafting the original krakens versus mermaids concept. He explains that the movie had huge appeal to him and his creative sensibilities as a “The Croods underwater” project, believing that it could interest a broad swathe of moviegoers.

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga

The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
