IKONA 2 is out NOW
The shadows of the past refuse to die.

Victor’s daughter fights to escape her father’s fate, but the next chapter of the IKONA universe reveals a horrifying truth: the legacy she’s been running from may already be a part of her.

Written and directed by visionary filmmaker @jovardi, this Wonder Original blends surreal worldbuilding with raw human emotion in a sensory journey of grief, rage, and justice.

Made possible with our executive producers: @elevenlabsio, Fal, @freepik, & @klingai_official

Big love to everyone who contributed to this project

Tanzania changed me, the beginning of a journey that I will never forget.

This is Babu, a Maasai legend. In my two weeks in Africa I was blown away by the energy of the Massai people and the way they live their lives in harmony with nature.

A dream to be invited to film there!

I put myself in a $100,000,000 blockbuster. 🎥💥

I’ve been testing early access to Seedance 2.0 and the leap in tech is next level.

I generated and put myself in different cinematic worlds from photoreal dogfights to surreal claymation and the character consistency didn’t break once.

Why this is a game changer:
✅ Zero AI Artifacts: No “melting” limbs or weird glitches, even with thousands of characters on screen.
✅ Style Hopping: It kept my likeness 1:1 while jumping from 2K realism to stop-motion and 3D CGI.
✅ Dynamic Physics: It handles explosions, water, and fast-action combat like a $100M VFX house.

Hollywood budget: $100,000,000 ❌
Seedance 2.0: One person at a desk. ✅

The barrier between “AI video” and “Cinema” just disappeared.

With @ranadaggubati , one of India’s biggest actors and producers, and @sankyyshah _ here in New Delhi for the AI Summit with @invideo.io

I grew up in East London.
Started working at 16.
Head down for years.
India was always a “one day” thing.

Now I’m here, in rooms with people shaping the future of film, AI and creative technology.

What stands out isn’t just the history and scale of this country.
It’s the ambition. The pace. The belief that AI expands creativity rather than replacing it.

From grafting as a teenager to conversations at this level, that perspective isn’t lost on me.

Grateful. Energised. Building.

We got immersive world simulations before we got GTA 6.

I always wanted to revisit the iconic GTA London, now I can put myself in it.

Here’s how I imagine it would look in 2026, built with Genie 3 from @GoogleDeepMind.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
