VFX company files injunction to block three Disney blockbusters

You probably haven't heard of a special effects company called MOVA, but you've seen its Contour facial-capture technology in films like Guardians of the Galaxy and Beauty and the Beast. It could also have a big impact your entertainment choices. The company behind the tech, Rearden LLC, has filed an injunction against Walt Disney Co. to block those two films, along with Avengers: Age of Ultron, from sales or distribution. MOVA Contour is used to capture facial movements in a much more detailed way than rival tech. Rather than using markers, actors' faces are painted with a phosphor dye.
