Josh Brolin Daughter
Oscar nominee Josh Brolin and his third wife Kathryn Boyd were spotted for the first time publicly with their precious newborn daughter Westlyn Reign at the Malibu Lumber Yard on Friday.
The May-December duo’s 26-day old baby girl snoozed peacefully in her carrier.
At 50, the Sicario action star is nearly 20 years older than his former personal assistant, who showcased her enviably flat post-baby belly in a snug pair of black leather pants.
The proud parents announced the joyous news via Instagram, where they’d each been documenting Kathryn’s pregnancy ever since they spilled the beans six months ago.
Josh Brolin Avengers
Despite the title of Avengers: Infinity War, the lead character isn’t Iron Man, Captain America, or any of the other Avengers who protect the world from evil.
From beginning to end, Joe and Anthony Russo’s blockbuster is about the eight-foot intergalactic big bad Thanos, played by Josh Brolin.
His maniacal plan to restore balance to the universe by arbitrarily killing half its inhabitants aside, Thanos is sometimes a strangely sympathetic character.
He’s capable of feeling compassion for a young Gamora, even after he murders her mother and half her planet.
While Brolin’s performance drives the character, none of those moments would have been possible without the special effects wizardry of Digital Domain.
The visual effects company, founded by James Cameron and the late StanWinston 25 years ago, was tasked with bringing Thanos to life, and on the biggest stage possible.
I jumped on the phone with visual effects supervisor Kelly Port to talk about the scope of Infinity War, the company’s complex motion-capture system, and how machine learning served a crucial role in turning Josh Brolin into a mad Titan.
