Corey D. Smith

Corey D. Smith? Yeah, that dude’s got his fingers in some of the biggest sci-fi pies of the last few years. You might’ve caught his name buried in the credits of Dune (2021)—that wild ride across the desert planet, sandworms and all. Seriously, the scale of that movie? Massive. Corey was part of the crew that made all that look so slick. And then there’s Infinite (2021). Not as many people talk about this one, but it’s got Mark Wahlberg doing his whole “I’ve lived a thousand lives” thing, and Corey’s work behind the scenes brings the trippy reincarnation stuff to life. It’s not your average action flick; there’s a lot of mind-bending sequences, and you can bet Corey had a hand in shaping those visuals. And don’t forget Men in Black: International (2019). Okay, so the critics were kinda split on this one, but come on—the gadgets, the aliens, the whole vibe? That’s a lot of moving parts, and Corey was in the thick of it, helping wrangle all that CGI and practical effects together. Honestly, when you look at his resume, you see a guy who knows how to make weird, wild worlds feel real. He’s not the face on the poster, but if you’re into how movies actually get made, he’s one of those essential behind-the-scenes players making sure everything looks cooler than real life.
