Cocaine Bear is being unleashed in movie theaters this weekend and we’re all very excited. Who doesn’t want to see a killer bear do hardcore drugs and go on a murderous rampage? It’s the Catalina Wine Mixer of all movie synopses! Entertainment feels guaranteed, but it doesn’t appear as though Cocaine Bear is aiming to scare us silly with its killer bear.
Leave that to the bear attacks in these other movies…

Leonardo DiCaprio goes from “Oh, hey. A bear” to “I am currently being ripped apart by a bear” faster than Blumhouse could greenlight a M3GAN sequel.
The moment DiCaprio’s character, Hugh Glass, spots the mama bear’s cubs it’s already over. She barrels toward him and open paw smacks him into a tree like it was a turnbuckle at WrestleMania In the Woods (I’d watch it) then begins ripping...

Exclusive: Kat McNamara (Shadowhunters) has signed on to star alongside Mickey Rourke, Mark Dacascos, Shaina West and Marcus Vincios Maciel in the action pic Jade, which marks the debut feature from director, producer and stuntman James Bamford.
The film centers on Jade (West), who swore she’d never pick up another gun after her brother’s untimely and accidental death at her own hands. But when she unknowingly comes between powerful businessman “Tork” (Rourke) and her former gang leader (Maciel) in their urgent search for a valuable hard drive that could single-handedly take down Interpol, she may not have a choice.

Jason Voorhees, the Friday The 13th masked mass murderer who has terrorized horny teenagers at camp sites for generations, has had many faces. This is both a credit to the various makeup artists designing Jason’s gruesome face and the performers wearing those makeups beneath that iconic hockey mask. This Friday the 13th holiday, we rank the latter. The top Jason will be pretty obvious to most Friday fiends… but how does the rest of this list shake out?
We should note that the Friday The 13th franchise also sports three major non-Jason serial killer characters, in the original Friday The 13th, Friday The 13th Part V: A New Beginning (although Jason does make a tiny cameo in both of these films), and of course Freddy Vs. Jason. These rankings will comprise the actual Jasons only.
Child Jasons will be mentioned along with their adult counterparts’ individual entries, except in...

Let's just cut to the chase here, people. Daylight saving time just forced us to roll back our clocks an hour, and we're in major need of a pick-me-up - something to lift our spirits and put some pep back in our sleep-deprived step. Luckily, Jason Momoa is the deliverer of said pick-me-up. The Aquaman star stopped by a rugby match in Canada on Sunday, and the photos from his surprise appearance are essentially serving as our morning coffee for the remainder of the week.
Before the World Rugby Sevens Series game began, Jason took the field to cheer on his favorite team, New Zealand's All Blacks Sevens, and their competitors, the Argentina Pumas, as they both stormed out of the tunnel. The actor watched the match from the front row with former Canadian rugby player and his Justice League stunt double, Glenn Ennis, and Glenn's adorable daughter, Teagan. After...

It’s been a VFX season dominated by giants in a range of superhero, sci-fi and action-adventures. They include Mark Rylance’s 25-foot dream catcher in “The Bfg,” Christopher Walken’s King Louie in “The Jungle Book,” the heptapods from “Arrival,” the 7-foot K-2So droid from “Rogue One” and the Moon Beast and Skeleton from “Kubo and the Two Strings.”
Whittling down the preliminary list of 20 contenders to 10 for the VFX bake-off on January 7th won’t be easy. There is so much outstanding work. Yet the great hybrid achievement of Disney’s “The Jungle Book” makes it the favorite, and “Rogue One” offers a new, gritty “Star Wars” look that should provide serious consideration. Here’s a list of 10 prime contenders:
1. “The Jungle Book”
Jon Favreau set out to achieve a photo-real Disney adaptation with two-time Oscar-winning VFX supervisor Rob Legato (“Hugo,” “Titanic”). The results are so impressive...

It took stepping into a giantmotion-capture suit for Glenn Ennis to earn some love.
Ennis is the Vancouver stuntman who donned a puffy blue suit to portray the bear that famously attacks Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant. The scene garnered such interest that newspapers, magazines and TV shows wanted to interview the veteran stunt performer.
“We don’t often get publicity in the stunt biz, that’s for sure,” says the 51-year-old, “but it really became an iconic scene — and I didn’t know it was going to be one when I was doing it. Looking back it’s so cool to say I was a little part, a microcosm, of cinema history.”
Ennis is on the phone, driving to the Kamloops set of The Power Rangers, where he’ll work for a few days before heading to London to work as Jason Momoa’s (Aquaman) stunt double in The Justice League Part One.

Colossus proved to be a great foil for Ryan Reynolds' snarky anti-hero in the smash hit "Deadpool," which required a complicated bit of animation by Digital Domain to pull off the 7-foot mutant giant. In fact, Colossus was Frankensteined together with the the help of voice actor Stefan Kapicic, motion capture performer Andrei Tricoteux for fighting, actor T.J. Storm for regular body motion, actor/stunt performer Glenn Ennis for initial facial shapes, and mocap supervisor Greg Lasalle for final facial performance. First-time director Tim Miller (owner of Blur Studio, the VFX/animation/design studio, which also contributed to "Deadpool") envisioned a Colossus very different from the "X-Men" movies. As a nerd, he wanted a return to the comic book look: a bigger body builder type who's Russian but totally photoreal. "For body, we looked at Arnold Schwarzenegger during his body building days, but we wanted him to be much more.

For those who haven't heard yet, the bear in The Revenant was not a bear. He was a man, a man in a blue suit, and he's not happy. In his first interview since filming, stuntman Glenn Ennis reveals his biggest complaint was not being confused with an animal, but how long he was face to butt with Leonardo Dicaprio. Ennis explains:
"If you notice the bear head in the picture, they wanted the bear mouth to be right on his lower back. I was supposed to grab his jacket with my hand to make it look like the bear’s jaws were pulling it. In order to have the bear’s jaw in the small of his back, basically my face was in his butt. My face was in Leo’s butt for a fair bit of time. I can see how that’s someone’s fantasy, but it wasn’t mine!

It won last weekend at the box office, but Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.s The Revenant is a brutal, punishing movie to watch. The action follows man who is mauled by a giant grizzly bear and is ultimately left for dead. This happens early in the movie, and is an impressive feat, but according to one stuntman involved in the process, bringing this moment to life was a total nightmare. The bear attack is a grueling, visceral moment that feels grounded and real. But it wasn.t, the bear was actually a stuntman named Glenn Ennis. To accomplish this feat, he wore a big blue costume and walked, talked, and generally acted like a bear in the woods. And apparently it sucked. Talking to Global News, he said: Alejandro shot the scene chronologically, from its beginning to its end, two minutes in total. It was very difficult if you look at...

Moviegoers might have jumped from their seats when they saw a very real-looking bear attack Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant, but as it turns out, that grizzly creature is the result of movie magic. "There was no bear ever on set," stuntman Glen Ennis, 51, tolf Global News, laughing. "The closest a bear ever got to set - [that we know of] - was at the Calgary Zoo." Ennis would know: he's one of two men who, with the help of CGI, brought the bear to life. "In rehearsals, I would wear a blue suit with a bear head," says Ennis. "Obviously that [suit] doesn't make it into the film,...
