Awesome Trailer For CHAINSAW MAN
Sony Pictures just dropped the official U.S. trailer for Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc , and if you're a fan of devil-slaying chaos and emotional gut-punches, mark your calendar for October 29th. This marks the first time Denji, the chainsaw-headed anti-hero, is hitting the big screen in what looks like a beautifully animated, high-octane expansion of the anime series. The movie is described as an 'epic, action-fueled adventure that continues the hugely popular anime series.' In the story, 'Denji worked as a Devil Hunter for the yakuza, trying to pay off the debt he inherited from his parents, until the yakuza betrayed him and had him killed. 'As he was losing consciousness, Denji's beloved chainsaw-powered devil-dog, Pochita, made a deal with Denji and saved his life. This fused the two together, creating the unstoppable Chainsaw Man. 'Now, in a brutal war between devils, hunters, and secret enemies, a mysterious girl named Reze has stepped into his world, and Denji faces his deadliest battle yet, fueled by love in a world where survival knows no rules.' Directed by Chainsaw Man series veteran Tatsuya Yoshihara, with a script by Hiroshi Seko and animation by MAPPA, the film dives deep into one of the manga's most fan-favorite arcs. Enjoy the trailer!

It's Alive! Iris Van Herpen's Latest Innovation? A Dress Made From 125 Million Bioluminescent Algae
As fittings were underway on Saturday, Van Herpen and her latest collaborator, Chris Bellamy, gave Vogue a preview of the creation. Like some kind of otherworldly specimen on display, the dress and pant ensemble hung inside a box carefully controlled with light—exactly the wavelength where the algae are found 50 meters below sea level—and humidity, with a cloud of cold steam pooling around the base.

Like humans, pyrocystis lunula need 'sleep' and have their own light cycles like our Circadian rhythms. In the wild, they emit light in response to movement and/or when they sense predators. No word yet who Van Herpen is casting to wear the look or how the model will provoke the flash of light. Yet with Van Herpen standing on one side of the box and Bellamy on the other, they explained how they first connected in February, some two years after Bellamy began his research in French Polynesia (he still travels there while also working in France, the UK and Amsterdam, where Van Herpen is based). Once they agreed to advance on the project, Bellamy got to work on the algae farm—essentially a chamber of controlled light where the microorganisms grow in seawater, doubling in quantity every two weeks. After enough time, there was 20 liters of algae—a little more than a half-filled bathtub. Going from a liquid state to a solid that could be injected into Van Herpen's custom molds involved transferring the algae to a seaweed nutrient gel—some 50 were tested to arrive at the right texture, color, and overall balance—and coating the forms with a protective membrane that's breathable and allows them to live and glow. In total, this turned into a roughly 35-step process with support from the University of Amsterdam and the Francis Crick Institute for biomedical research. After significant trial and error, not to mention attaching the pattern to an illusion mesh second skin, they said they reached the successful outcome—'it worked,' said Bellamy—about a month ago. The garments are now stored according to precisely controlled conditions that correspond to the algae's native environment, such as temperature, light, humidity and rhythm. The organisms can continue to mate and reproduce inside the garment forms, making the dress brighter and brighter. As for an odor, Bellamy replies, 'No, you can just smell the seawater.'
