Season 3 of Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal ended with not so much with a cliffhanger as a cliff plunger - an ending that could be interpreted several different ways based on whether or not the series continued. Of course, the series has not continued, having been ignominiously cancelled by NBC instead. Since then, the show’s fans have been riding a rollercoaster of emotions as series creator Bryan Fuller has tried in vain to get the series picked up by a streaming service and then teased a possible movie as an alternative to more TV episodes....

Following a rather final confrontation at the end of the most recent Star Wars franchise film, it would appear unlikely that Harrison Ford will ever return to the role of Han Solo that made him a household name to begin with starting with Episode IV in 1977. Recently, the actor discussed the fated exit of the character at the end of The Force Awakens, and revealed that his desire to put the character aside had less to do with any perceived personal distaste for the surrounding science-fiction property, but was instead inspired by his own desire for a more emotionally resonant and dramatic climax with which to begin the new trilogy of films set in a galaxy far, far away....

The Thirteenth Doctor’s brand new Sonic Screwdriver from the upcoming eleventh season of Doctor Who has just been revealed at San Diego Comic-Con. After it made a brief appearance in the season’s new trailer, star Jodie Whittaker revealed the upgraded Time Lord accessory at the official Doctor Who panel. Premiering in 1963, Doctor Who is a sci-fi television series about a time-traveling humanoid alien who traverses time and space in order to keep peace throughout the entire universe....

A Dragon Ball Z mobile game has reached a serious marker when it comes to financial returns, with Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle hitting $1 billion in revenue since its launch. The title is a mobile fighting game based on the acclaimed series, and has been becoming something of a mobile app phenomenon. It’s easy to see why the game would pick up an audience, of course. Dragon Ball Z is one of the defining properties in the worlds of both manga and anime, even if the creator of Dragon Ball doesn’t quite understand how it became so popular....

Son of the late rock legend David Bowie, Duncan Jones has carved out an exceptional reputation in his own right. Director of the low-budget sci-fi darlings Moon and Source Code, Jones proved he could do a lot with very little. He then moved on to the mega-budgeted Warcraft, with, unfortunately, less impressive results (both critically and in the box office). Fortunately, one misstep can’t keep a good director down, and Jones has been hard at work prepping his personal passion project, Mute....

WWE wrestler-turned-movie star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is the subject of a musical playing next week in London. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is without question one of the biggest stars in the world, a status he began building toward with his popularity as a WWE star. After making the leap to movies, it didn’t take Johnson long to chord with audiences, and before too long he completed his full-fledged transformation as an actor....

An Easy A spinoff is in the works from the film’s original screenwriter. In the latter half of the 2000s, Emma Stone began making a name for herself with a handful of popular teen comedies. Though she’d had the odd television role prior to 2007, it was her role as Jonah Hill’s love interest in Superbad that really gave her career a boost. From that point onward, things began to move at a rapid rate for Stone....

Apple has been granted a patent for an emergency communication system, designed to extend cellular coverage to areas that would otherwise have no signal. The approach is intended primarily for law enforcement and emergency services personnel, and it’s possible that the tech could have saved the lives of first responders inside the World Trade Center on 9/11. Background Even in major cities like New York, there can be areas where radio systems have no coverage....

The lineup of characters set to fill The Eternals movie looks to have been revealed. Marvel Studios is making plenty of progress on what could be their next big cosmic franchise. The Eternals has gained significant steam throughout the year, and now appears to be close to casting with some character breakdowns surfacing. The Eternals will bring to life the outlandish Jack Kirby-created Marvel property. Although the characters are not widely known at this point, they’ll be the first new franchise to launch from Phase 4 of the MCU....

Here’s all the suits Spider-Man uses in Spider-Man: Far From Home? Traditionally, Spider-Man would only wear one or two costumes per movie, but in the MCU his options have vastly increased to the point in Far From Home where he uses four different suits. Every new outing for the webhead tends to bring with it some variation or other on his costuming, and Far From Home is no exception. From a classic Spider-Man look to the super-advanced Iron Spider suit from Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame - along with two new suits - the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel will continue to add to Peter Parker’s now very extensive heroic wardrobe....

One of our most anticipated movies of 2018 arrives in just a few weeks, bringing back Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and co. into another international adventure full of mind-blowing real-life stunt work. And just as we prepare to interview the cast and crew of Mission: Impossible - Fallout at the world premiere in Paris this week, we’ve also teamed up with IMAX to debut a brand new poster for the film....

Production on the third season of FX’s Fargo is due to begin later this year, starring Ewan McGregor as twins Emmit and Ray Stussy. It’ll be yet another welcome return for the acclaimed TV show, loosely based on the Coen brothers’ 1996 film. Helmed by Noah Hawley, Fargo’s first season was set in 2006 and starred Martin Freeman and Billy Bob Thornton. A critical and commercial success, the show was renewed for a second season, which aired in the latter half of 2015....

As part of the many unveilings and releases of San Diego Comic-Con 2018, Disney fans were given a surprise first look at the upcoming live-action Kim Possible. While the popular animated series finale aired back in 2007, it was announced this past February that the Disney Channel original show was being developed into its first live-action adaptation. The animated series, which ran from 2002-2007, followed the life of titular character Kim Possible – a seemingly normal high school girl who is actually a secret agent that fights crime while attempting to juggle the social challenges of being a teenager....

Friends took a lot of twists and turns over the course of the sitcom’s ten-season run, but the Joey and Rachel romance was by far the show’s worst decision. The series ended in 2004 and the romance between the two characters is still one of the most controversial subjects to fans of the series. Friends first debuted on NBC in September of 1994 and ran for a decade. The ensemble cast featured Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, and Matt LeBlanc in the sitcom’s lead roles....

One of the keys to the success of Stranger Things is how it outright revels in the 1980’s. From Steven King’s books (especially IT) to E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, The Goonies, Gremlins. Poltergeist, and seemingly everything Steven Spielberg ever touched in that decade, one could spend all day cataloging all of the myriad references and influences in Stranger Things. This isn’t to say, however, the series’ creators The Duffer Brothers limit themselves to the Me Decade....

Tech conglomerate Google has completely changed the way we interact with the world since unveiling their pilot search engine in 1997. From other Internet-altering software like the Chrome browser and Drive and Gmail apps to their 2006 purchase of YouTube, the company has consistently been at the forefront of technological development, and is currently in the top two most valuable brands in the world, along with Apple. It’s no secret that Google and Apple have been rivals for decades, with the former company proving strong competition after they cornered the smartphone market with their release of the iPhone in 2007....

Grand Theft Auto Online players will be able to essentially drive around in the Batmobile for the game’s four year anniversary. Even though the world of Grand Theft Auto could probably sorely use someone like Batman to help put a stop to how rampant its crime is, there aren’t any superheroes to be found in the series. However, for those who want to keep on looting and shooting everything while decked out in the Dark Knight’s cool gear, Rockstar Games has essentially provided the player with that option....

Spider-Man finally came back last week with Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thanks to a partnership with Sony, Marvel’s web-crawler makes his official feature debut in the MCU with director Jon Watts at the helm, and reviews and fan reactions couldn’t be more positive. This time, 20-year-old Tom Holland stepped into the shoes of Peter Parker following his brief appearance in Captain America: Civil War, providing a different take on the character that has now had three big screen iterations over the last 15 years....
