Back in 2013, fans of Sam Raimi’s iconic Evil Dead series were finally treated to a new addition. It had been 21 years since Army of Darkness became the third - and seemingly final - instalment in the ongoing battle against Deadites and fans were hungry for much more. Before the new film ever even hit theaters however, it became clear that Raimi wouldn’t be returning to either write or direct it....
The Elder Scrolls 6 is aiming to be an even bigger game than Skyrim, according to Bethesda game director Todd Howard, who stated in a recent interview that he envisions the upcoming sequel as something that could be played for over a decade. The Elder Scrolls series has been well-known for its lengthy campaigns, which feature an incredible array of side quests and hidden areas to explore that can occupy gamers for hundreds of hours....

Today, Eve brings the Eve Outdoor Cam to the market with the first-ever floodlight with HomeKit Secure Video support.

Smart home device company Eve has been adding Thread support to its product lineup, and the Eve Thermo is the latest HomeKit-compatible device to be updated. The Eve Thermo is a smart radiator valve that allows you to control the temperature of individual rooms in a variety of ways, including Siri … Conventional smart heating systems allow you to set a target temperature for, usually, a single thermostat. But you may want different temperatures in different rooms at different times, such as a bedroom and a living room, and may want only maintenance heat in unused rooms like guest bedrooms when nobody is visiting....
Anybody who grew up with Harry Potter will have, at some point or other, imagined what it’s like to attend Hogwarts - you weren’t a child of the nineties if you didn’t eagerly anticipate your eleventh Birthday on the outside chance you got an acceptance letter for the school for Witchcraft and Wizardry. And why wouldn’t you want to go? Being a wizard aside, across the seven books and eight films the school became the backdrop for all manner of adventures, lessons and incredibly complex, once-in-a-lifetime wizarding tournaments....
Fear the Walking Dead season 5, episode 4 hit audiences with a new twist regarding the three children, and finally saw Salazar (Rubén Blades) begin to forgive Strand (Colman Domingo). The episode, titled “Skidmark”, shed light on what Salazar has been up to recently, and also touched on the ongoing search for Al (Maggie Grace), who was kidnapped in the season 5 premiere. While Strand, Sarah (Mo Collins), Wendell (Daryl Mitchell), and Charlie (Alexa Nisenson) attempt to steal Salazar’s plane, Morgan (Lennie James) and Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey) and Luciana (Danay Garcia) try to help one of the three children, but were unaware that they were all being deceived....
Apple is amazing at setting trends. This is why lots of other companies use similar names to Apple’s products and, sometimes, even copy the company’s designs. That said, it’s not every time that Apple makes it right or a feature it’s pushing survives. Here are five examples of iPhone features that Apple thought would be groundbreaking but ended up being discontinued or falling out of use. Let’s start with a function that many hard-core users loved but most people never heard about: 3D Touch....
Fortnite streamer Ben “DrLupo” Lupo raised $920,000 in donations during the final four and a half hour block of Guardian Con 2019’s charity marathon stream. The nearly $1 million sum will benefit the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Guardian Con, originally a 2015 meetup known as “DestinyCon” for fans of Destiny streamers KingGothalion and Professor Broman, is an annual charity event for video game fans that aims to raise money for St....
Jason Goes to Hell director Adam Marcus says that Crystal Lake killer Jason Voorhees is in fact a Deadite from the Evil Dead franchise. This might sound like an odd proclamation, but according to Marcus, he designed it that way from the ground up, following a conversation with Evil Dead creator Sam Raimi. Released in 1993, Jason Goes to Hell is considered by many Friday the 13th fans to be the least of the sequels, if for no other reason then that it features an appalling lack of Jason himself....
Netflix’s Fuller House season 4 brings back most of the original characters from Full House and continues their respective stories. Michelle Tanner will, sadly, still be absent in the upcoming season as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen continue to refuse to appear in the reboot, but the new Fuller House outing won’t have a shortage of familiar faces. Along with them are new characters played by well-known guest stars making the upcoming season potentially the best so far....
Warning: SPOILERS for Game of Thrones season 6, episode 6 ahead - After last week’s episode of Game of Thrones turned out to be a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, tonight’s episode took a step back to move different pieces into place on the board, and catch up with characters like Sam (John Bradley) and Gilly (Hannah Murray), who had been absent for a while. Of course, the show’s writers had to give fans something to talk about (aside from Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) giving an inspirational speech on the back of a dragon, of course), and so “Blood of My Blood” returned to the fold a character whom many had assumed was gone for good....
Lisbeth Salander returns in The Girl in the Spider’s Web, this time played by Claire Foy (The Crown), and as she struggles to unravel the latest cyber-conspiracy she’ll also be on the run from a ruthless killer. Claes Bang (The Bridge) plays Jan Holtser, a shadowy and mysterious figure stalking Lisbeth, but to say much more about him would give away the twists and turns of this thriller. Screen Rant got to see some of Holtser’s handiwork earlier this year when we visited the set of The Girl in the Spider’s Web, and we also got a chance to speak to the man himself....
The Game Of Thrones season premiere is just around the corner and with it comes a sure-to-be-devastating couple of months. It’s only a matter of time before George R.R. Martin and the folks over at HBO come to collect what is left of your soul, leaving you a broken, empty husk of your former self. Before the tax man comes to collect let’s go over some of the most essential episodes of the story so far....
[Mild spoilers for the opening scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2] - The de-aged Kurt Russell from the start of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 only used CGI sparingly and was mostly practical. A particular trend in recent Marvel movies has been CGI’ing classic actors younger, with the studio almost going out of its way to include augmented body alteration. We’ve previously seen Michael Douglas and Robert Downey, Jr....
While original performer Nick Castle will play Michael Myers for a couple of scenes in Halloween 2018, actor James Jude Courtney played the role for the majority of filming. The Halloween franchise has become famous for rebooting or retconning itself, and the timeline is now so tangled it’s near impossible to unravel. The new Halloween from Blumhouse will work around that by ignoring all previous movies bar the original; that said, co-writer Danny McBride says the new movie will also pay homage to the sequels....
An early draft for Halloween 2018 opened with Michael Myers killing Dr. Loomis in the opening scene. Dr. Loomis is an iconic character within the Halloween franchise, with Donald Pleasence embodying the role across five movies; Malcolm McDowell later took on the part for Rob Zombie’s Halloween movies. The production originally approached Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing for the role, but both turned it down; Lee later lamented the decision, calling it the biggest mistake of his career....
Apple last week introduced the fifth generation iPad Air featuring the M1 chip, 5G connectivity, and Center Stage. While keeping the same design as the last generation, iPad Air 5 comes in new colors and also with new wallpapers – and you can download them for your devices right here. The new iPad Air 5 wallpapers are quite similar to the wallpapers introduced with iPad Air 4 in 2020, which are internally called “Ribbons” because of their shapes....
Goku and Vegeta have gone through some tough times together. From battling Frieza, Cell, Majin Buu, and each other, their whole friendship is based on battling. This isn’t surprising, as they are both Saiyans, a class of powerful warriors that thrive on the prospect of fighting to the finish and constantly surpassing their physical strength. One of Dragon Ball Z’s ongoing themes focuses on going above all set limitations in order to reach success....
Dwayne Johnson has confirmed the start date for Disney’s Jungle Cruise movie. The original Jungle Cruise ride is part of Adventureland at Disney’s theme parks and loosely borrows from the kind of globe-trotting Hollywood adventures that gave rise to Indiana Jones (itself the basis for an Adventureland ride in Disneyland). Jungle Cruise’s visual effects supervisor Jake Morrison basically called the film “Dwayne Johnson’s Indiana Jones” when Screen Rant interviewed him, further cementing the connection between that iconic property and Johnson’s vehicle....
It’s become the central question to any and all debates about whitewashing: should we blame the actors who’ve accepted these roles, or just the studios and directors? Today, actor Ed Skrein, who recently was cast in the Hellboy reboot, provided a definitive answer to the question by choosing to leave the film amidst controversy over his casting as Major Ben Daimio, a nonwhite character. Yes, we should blame the actors for accepting the role, because they have a choice to accept the role....
