Directed by Yeon Sang-ho, the series is set to expand the world of the globally acclaimed manga, “Parasyte.” The plot revolves around Su-in (Jeon So-nee), a woman grappling with her new reality of coexisting with a parasite, and the relentless Team Grey, a group committed to fighting against these unidentified parasitic life-forms.

The lead stars join regional press, content creators, and Filipino fans for the premiere of Netflix’s latest live-action series.
Gordon Cormier and Dallas Liu, the young actors from the highly-anticipatedAVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER series, landed in Manila for the press conference and premiere of the live-action adaptation. The duo received a warm Manila welcome as they spent a jam-packed day of activities with regional press and influencers from the country, as well as other delegates from the APAC region, to promote Netflix’s latest live-action offering.
During the press conference held at Marquis Events Place in BGC, Filipino-Canadian star Gordon had three words to describe the life-changing moment when he discovered that he booked the iconic role: ‘Tears. Crying. Happiness.’ Gordon, who plays Aang, expressed that he felt like he “grew” with his character and noted how easy it was for him to portray the more “happy” side of the young Avatar: “When we first shot the series, I was 11 years old, so I feel like I’ve grown up quite a bit. The happy side of Aang is quite easy for me because… you know. I think you could tell,” he added with a laugh, referring to his innate happy demeanor. “It was more difficult for me to tap into Aang’s emotional side.”

Speaking about their experiences in breathing new life into the adored characters, Dallas, who plays Prince Zuko, shared, “I really had to tap into the negativity of Prince Zuko and what he’s going through. There are different points in my life that I have to pull from specifically that I think worked well for specific scenes.” Dallas also mentioned that each cast member was able to “ground” their characters and bring them to life in a way that feels familiar: “I’m really excited for you guys to see it. I know you guys are stoked for it,” he added, alluding to the extensive fight scenes within the series.

Admitting that they bonded and got close while shooting the show, Dallas, the older of the two breakout stars, closes the press conference with advice and a wish for Gordon: “To have a strong base in your heart is extremely important. I hope the people supporting you at home keep your chin up and give you strong words of affirmation and continue to champion you through your journey.”
Following the press conference, the duo headed to Central Square to check out the AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER activity zones at the cinema area, and made a surprise appearance during the fan screening to the delight of the lucky fans.

Nearly 300 media representatives and fans took part in the events prepared for this title. The talents witnessed firsthand the positive response of the crowd during the screening and engaged with thrilled onlookers around the venue.
AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER is now showing on Netflix. Available worldwide.
Save the date: February 22 is the day the world finally gets to see the much awaited Netflix live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. As one of the world’s most loved animated series, many fans have long wished for a remake that would give the series the love and the justice it deserves. Lucky for them, 2024 is finally their time. Be sure to put it in your watchlist and binge it ASAP.
Released in Nickelodeon in 2005, the animated series captured the imagination and hearts of kids and young adults all over the world. As the story begins in the iconic introduction at the start of every episode:
“Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished.”
Aang (Gordon Cormier), who is ordained as the Avatar, goes on a journey around the world with his friend from the Water Tribe – Sokka (Ian Ousley) and Katara (Kiawentiio) – to master the four elements in an effort to bring peace to a world suffering from war. On their tail was the headstrong Prince Zuko from the conquering Fire Nation who was on a mission to capture Aang in a bid to please his father, the power-hungry Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim).
Philippine Concerts got to be part of the press conference and advanced screening ahead of the show’s premiere on Netflix. This much, you need to know: It’s going to be a hit. They got the very important details right. We’re already super excited to see the whole thing.
A day before the premiere, Gordon Cormier and Dallas Liu flew to the Philippines to meet with the members of the press. While the duo are sworn enemies in the world of Avatar, they are nothing but best buds in person.
Read on for a quick, spoiler-free rundown on the highlights of the day.
How is their visit in Manila?
Gordon, who is half-Filipino, described coming to the Philippines as a homecoming. “It has been amazing! I’m back in my homeland,” he said excitedly. He had not been able to visit the country during the pandemic and he was very glad to come back to see his family here.
On the other hand, it was Dallas’ first time here. “It has been really exciting! Everyone has been welcoming,” he answered. Surprised by the intense heat outside, he joked that it felt like being in the Fire Nation. In our brief time with him, we discover that Dallas, quite unlike Zuko, is a very affable guy in person, and just full of wit.
Who among the cast is most similar to the character they play in the show?
With a confident smile, Gordon immediately answered, “No bias or anything: definitely me”. Embodying Aang’s bright and pure disposition, he always spoke candidly, his words coming out with utmost sincerity. He was only 11 years old when they shot the series, and while that was a challenge, he felt like he had grown up quite a bit.
Dallas didn’t choose himself. “Zuko has gone through a significant amount of trauma, and that’s very hard to relate to, so there are different points in my life that I have to pull from specifically,” he explained. Instead, he chose Ian Ousley (Sokka) and Kiawentiio (Katara), the inseparable Water Tribe siblings. Like Sokka, Ian is a protective older brother for Kiawentiio and Gordon. Dallas is close friends with Ian and is his confidante. Dallas said that Kiawentiio also has Katara’s older sister vibe – she is caring and she keeps her fellow cast members in check.
What was it like when you received the news that you got the role?
“Tears. Crying. Happiness,” Gordon described what he felt when he was casted.
At that time, Netflix executives asked him to come to a ‘getting to know you’ interview where they told him that they searched the world to find the Avatar, and that they found him and that he lived 15 minutes away from the studio. Unable to understand the hints they laid out, Gordon thought he was initially rejected. It took him a while to piece out the details, but once he did, he was so happy, he cried. While he did not know anything about Avatar: The Last Airbender back then (since he wasn’t even born yet), he studied up shortly after, watching the series close to 35 times over the course of the shooting.
During the auditions, the actors were given fake scripts with codenames, something which is usually done for high-profile projects. Dallas was initially told that he was auditioning for “Juno”, a boy who was desperately seeking his father’s approval. At first, Dallas was told by his manager that he had competition for the role he was vying for. “He is really handsome, and he’s such a talented actor, and he’s a better martial artist than you.” Later on, they tell him that he got the role and that it was actually for Prince Zuko, which came as no surprise to Dallas who was familiar with the animated series before.
Just like the original series, camaraderie and friendship play a pivotal role in the story, and the actors also have definitely held this up. “You can see our relationship grow throughout the series,” Gordon mentioned. He also told us about the time he, Ian and Kiawentiio were told to wait 15 minutes for their take in one scene, they were lying on top of Appa (their furry flying bison friend), and they just stayed there talking and sleeping midway without noticing that more than 30 minutes had passed. Gordon felt that they were like friends, like family even.
Dallas also added, “Nobody really does impersonations of these animated characters. Each person (actor) brings them to life in a way that still feels very familiar, but you get to see real human beings interact with these elements and these creatures and this world. I’m really excited for you guys to see it, especially the fight scenes.”
Both actors were tight-lipped about spoilers, causing them to give vague answers to some questions. We can tell you this much, though: this new incarnation of Avatar: The Last Airbender is a must-watch for old fans and new fans alike. The 1st episode captured the essence of what made the animated series great: it has the drama, the suspense and the heart – It will be sure to reel you in immediately. We’re already excited to binge the series once it comes out!
Money Heist spin-off Berlin has consistently claimed its spot in Netflix’s top series category since its launch on December 29, 2023 and for good reason: it stars none other than fan-favorite Berlin (Pedro Alonso) and introduces his “old” thrilling crew consisting of code virtuoso Keila (Michelle Jenner), engineering and physics academic Damián (Tristan Ulloa), locksmith Roi (Julio Peña Fernández), gadget and weapon expert Bruce (Joel Sánchez), and enigma Cameron (Begoña Vargas).
While set years before the daring heist at The Royal Mint of Spain, Berlin has orchestrated a captivating reunion of sorts for fans by bringing back some iconic characters from the original series including Raquel Murillo (Itziar Ituńo) and Alicia Sierra (Najwa Nimri).

Showrunners Álex Pina and Esther Martinez unveil a fresh perspective regarding this prequel and share that while Berlin’s a “lighter” take on the beloved series, its emphasis on “love” is what makes it unique from the original material: “We always look for elements that really connect with the viewer, and love is one of those elements. And there are so many facets to love. In fact, the story shows a range of types of love in which the characters vie to show different moments of love, to show different situations.”
Echoing the showrunners’ sentiments, Berlin titular character actor Pedro Alonso has this to say about the project and his character in this prequel: “I’ve often heard that Berlin is a cynic. Not at all. He’s sarcastic, he has a diabolically dark sense of humor, and he can be fascinating, a real prick, whatever you want, but not a cynic. He’s a man who’s committed to rediscovering a great life, falling in love in the face of common sense and logic. A man who’s made to love, in spite of everything.”
In addition to the fresh and gripping narrative, Berlin captivates audiences with its breathtaking scenic spots, with the series being shot in 146 locations within numerous provinces of Spain like Madrid, Almeria, and León and in the romantic city of Paris. The show dazzled with scenes filmed in iconic Parisian landmarks such as the Church of Saint Julien Le Pauvre, Château d’ Ormesson-sur-Marne, Sacré Coeur, and other streets of Montmartre.
Aside from these beautiful locations, the show charms with its curated music, including tracks originally recorded for the series like its opening theme “Bullets and Flowers” by Francis White and Nikki García, “No me mires” by POL 3,14., and “Tout Ou Rien” by Pipo Romero.

Season 2 takes a dramatic leap through time, as revealed in the intriguing post-credit footage of Season 1. In this pivotal scene, a character called “Ho-jae”, bearing a striking resemblance to Jang Tae-sang, turns to reveal a mysterious scar, igniting a flurry of questions about his identity and the scar’s origin. This moment is a gateway to the series’ time travel element, transitioning the setting to Seoul of 2024. The released stills amplify the mystery, capturing Chae-ok at a critical juncture and suggesting a season brimming with enigmatic events and connections. Director Chung Dong-yoon shares his vision for this new chapter, stating, “Season 2 presents a story with a completely different charm. The change in space and time period will provide a clear distinction, offering an expanded universe feel.”
Season 1 captivated audiences worldwide with its unique blend of period drama and fantastical elements, earning high praise from international media. CNN hailed it as “[it] deserves to be a monster hit,” while TIME magazine noted, “it is also about the world we live in today.” Just 3 days after release, Season 1 gained a spot in the Global TOP 10(Non-English) to rise up to the third place and appear in the TOP 10 list of 69 countries across the globe including Brazil, Japan, Singapore, France, and Australia.
The suspense around the series is further fueled by the cliffhanger from Season 1’s finale and the anticipation of how the characters’ narratives will evolve. Actors, including Park Seo-jun and Han So-hee, have hinted at the deeper character developments and emotional depth of the upcoming season, continuing its legacy as a global sensation and delving into the mysteries of time travel and destiny.
Gyeongseong Creature Season 2, set to premiere exclusively on Netflix, is all poised to reveal a larger, more dynamic story.
Ahead of the eagerly awaited debut ofYu Yu Hakusho next week, the trailer is giving fans a taste of the groundbreaking visual effects that bring to life the intense battles between humans and demons, setting a new standard for live-action adaptations.
The five-episode series captures the essence of the original best-selling manga by incorporating supernatural elements in a way that appears realistic. This was made possible through the collaboration with Scanline VFX, known for their work on major Hollywood productions.
“To what extent CGI-characters can be shown close-up depends on the distance from the camera, whether there’s dialogue, and the facial expression,” said visual effects director Tomofumi Akahane. “With Scanline VFX on board, we were able to reach higher than any other Japanese title and achieve a quality where the average viewer won’t be able to tell that CGI is actually CGI.”
The team made use of the latest performance capture technology, with 170 cameras filming the actors simultaneously in 360 degrees. This allows director Sho Tsukikawa to choose the best angle afterward as if moving a single camera, resulting in realistic CG character assets that seamlessly interact with the live-action elements.
Recreating battles between humans and demons
As the setting of Yu Yu Hakusho includes the Human World, the Demon World and the Spirit World, the team had to create many of the demons from scratch. And the battles between humans and demons were among the most difficult to recreate visually from the manga, especially the scenes with the Toguro Brothers—the Elder Toguro can distort his body and the Younger Toguro can expand his muscles.
“The body size of the actors and the characters are different, so it was really hard to change the scale. It wasn’t just a matter of changing their height, we needed to ensure that the sight lines of the opponents were accurate,” said visual effects advisor Ryo Sakaguchi, who was the first Japanese visual producer to win a Scientific and Technical Award at the Oscars. The team ended up creating and printing 3D models of the Toguro Brothers, and attaching them to the actors for the shoot, so that it was easier and more natural for those acting opposite them.
Moreover, as many of the actors were not used to working with CGI during shoots, the production team came up with various ideas to help the actors perform, including having a stunt person wear blue clothes and fight opposite the actor.
“How do actors imagine an enemy that isn’t actually in front of them?” asked action director Takahito Ouchi. “No matter how much you tell them that an enemy is there, they need to get fired up enough to make it seem like they are really fighting. And that realism is born from the passion of the actors.”
The fate of the Human World lies in Yusuke’s hands. Watch ‘Yu Yu Hakusho’ on December 14, exclusively on Netflix.
