New Zealand visual effects company Wētā FX received an Emmy Award nomination on July 9, 2026, for Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Season or a Movie, recognizing its work on the fifth and final season of Netflix’s *Stranger Things*. Senior visual effects supervisor Martin Hill and visual effects (VFX) producer Richard Thwaites were specifically named in the nomination. Previously, on July 17, Peter Jackson and Richard Taylor revisited *The Frighteners*, which was released on July 19, 1996. This film, the first Jackson wrote and directed for Hollywood, was described by Taylor as having "definitely broke ground in the digital effects world," and its production directly led to Jackson’s direction of the *Lord of the Rings* and *Hobbit* trilogies.
