Epic Games’ VFX supervisor, who once worked on Pirates of the Caribbean, has pushed back against Gore Verbinski’s recent jab that Unreal Engine makes films feel like video games. Having firsthand experience in the demanding world of big-budget visual effects, he’s confident that the artists behind the swashbuckling franchise would have embraced the power and flexibility Unreal offers. Rather than cheapening cinema, Unreal Engine has become a crucial tool in elevating production quality and efficiency, blending real-time graphics with traditional filmmaking techniques in ways that many on set can only wish for. It’s a reminder that the lines between gaming technology and Hollywood are blurring, but certainly not at the expense of cinematic artistry.
