"It?s a way of doing a superhero film within another genre. I wanted to tell an origin tale in a slightly different way. It?s part of the Marvel cinematic universe, but it also feels like its own piece."

"I?ve been collaborating with [Marvel boss] Kevin [Feige] during the whole of that cycle. I think people have always assumed? ?Oh why is it taking so long to make?? Part of it is because I wanted to make two other movies first. I wanted to make World?s End? me and Simon were very keen to make it and it felt like it was unfinished business and we wanted to wrap up the trilogy. The script came together really fast. Well not really fast, but it came together at a certain point where it was like ?I really want to do this next.?"

"But to be honest, the later I do it, it feels like I could learn more, especially about special effects. It?s a big effects movie, so I?m pleased to go into it having done Scott Pilgrim and The World?s End because you?re always learning more about that side."

"I hope that at some point we?ll be able to show that at some venue all finished. Because obviously at Comic-Con we showed it unfinished. All done it looks really good."

I hope this means they'll release the Comic-Con footage.

Saw it before it was taken down and yes, it was cool. It was a tad rough, as expected, but it showed a grasp of how Ant-Man would probably fight.

Awesome didn't know it was "out there" during the comic con time

Yeah - it was more impressive as a full screen video vs just a cell video. Ant-Man's a pretty tough dude, especially when he goes the other way into giantism.

Yeah suppose it will never get fully released

    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com

      I wonder how driving laws around the world will change. No way to really tell if people are using phone. Same with smart watches i guess even now and those silly built in tablets for controlling the car instead of buttons.
