The Fast & Furious franchise has become one of the most curious in all of Hollywood. Beginning life as 2001 small budget film about the world of illegal street racing, the first movie became a sleeper hit and spawned a sequel in 2003. It also helped launch the careers of Paul Walker and Vin Diesel as leading men and action stars. As both actors moved on to other projects, however, 2006’s relatively standalone Tokyo Drift barely made back its budget and seemed to prove the love affair had ended....

X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn thinks Apocalypse should’ve been produced before Days of Future Past. Based on the comic books of the same name, Fox’s X-Men franchise started it run off strongly thanks to the original 2000 film and its sequel, X2: X-Men United. Unfortunately, the two movies that followed (2006’s The Last Stand and 2009’s Origins: Wolverine) misfired with critics and generally left fans grumbling. They were also quite profitable, however, which is why Vaughn was thereafter recruited to reboot the mainline X-Men films with 2011’s First Class, a prequel set in the 1960s....

Basically anything popular is up for a film adaptation these days, from Troll dolls to morally ambiguous manga. Studios are eager to run with what works, and that means pulling scripts from some unpredictable sources – including mobile games. For instance, some were surprised to learn that Angry Birds was due to hit big screens, but its success as a video game made for an equally successful run at the box office (despite so-so critical reception)....

Right now, America is split into two kinds of people: those who think of November 25th as the day after Thanksgiving (or Black Friday), and those who think of November 25th as National Gilmore Girls Revival Day. The latter camp, a band of die-hard fans who have been waiting years to see what’s been going on since we last left Stars Hollow, will finally have their dreams realized next week, when Netflix premiers Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life....

M. Night Shyamalan reveals he’s unlikely to make a sequel to Glass. One of the most highly anticipated films heading into 2019 is Shyamalan’s shared universe film. The film unites characters from two of Shyamalan’s most praised movies, 2000’s superhero drama Unbreakable, and last year’s psychological horror thriller Split. Glass will serve as a sequel to both films respectively, and it may be the concluding chapter in the trilogy. In October, the official full-length trailer for Glass was released online, and it showcased David Dunn (Bruce Willis) battling former foe Elijah Price aka....

In his Power On newsletter this Sunday, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman believes Apple will bring Face ID to the Mac within a ‘couple of years.” Gurman notes that even the iPhone SE and non-Pro iPads could receive Face ID. The only reason Apple isn’t doing so right now is to cut costs while still offering security. Mark Gurman believes a “camera embedded in the screen would help differentiate Apple’s pricier devices by eliminating the notch at the top....

Filming is soon to start on the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel, and the latest news is that Jake Gyllenhaal is in talks to play the film’s villain - Mysterio. It’s the first concrete news about the sequel, which will be set after the events of Avengers 4, and introduce viewers to the post-Phase 3 MCU. There’s a sense of irony to this news, given Gyllenhaal was once in talks to suit up as Spider-Man himself; he was considered as a replacement for Tobey Maguire in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2....

Avengers: Endgame directorsJoe and Anthony Russo think Moon Knight would be the perfect character for Keanu Reeves to play in the MCU. The franchise is in a transitional phase after wrapping up The Infinity Saga. This means that new heroes are set to be introduced in the next coming years, with projects like Chloe Zhao’s Eternals and Daniel Destin Cretton’s Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. But one of the most anticipated heroes to eventually debut is Marc Sceptor aka Moon Knight....

It doesn’t take an imminent regeneration to discuss ideal castings in Doctor Who, as people speculate nearly continuously over who would make a good Doctor. However, when one actor announces that they’re leaving, as Peter Capaldi has done, that talk turns up several notches and the internet becomes awash with casting suggestions, comments, and all-out wars over who might be able to take charge of the TARDIS. As always, the subject of the Doctor’s gender has come up, and the age-old argument over whether or not the character could be a female is an extremely divisive one....

The first reviews of Doctor Who season 11’s opener are beginning to emerge after the episode premiered in Sheffield, England earlier this week. Since Peter Capaldi’s regeneration in the 2017 Christmas special, Doctor Who has undergone a great deal of change, most notably that for the first time in the show’s illustrious history, a woman has been cast in the titular role, with Jodie Whittaker portraying the 13th Doctor. The other significant change of personnel during Who’s off-season is that Chris Chibnall has now replaced Steven Moffat as chief executive and showrunner....

Solo: A Star Wars Story star Donald Glover believes Kylo Ren is a better villain than Darth Vader. The galaxy far, far away is no stranger to memorable antagonists, with Vader widely considered to be one of the greatest in movie history.

Abrams pulled it off by making Kylo Ren Darth Vader’s grandson, forever haunted by his family legacy....
