After Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins thanked fans for making the latest DC Extended Universe installment the #1 movie in the world at the box office, star Gal Gadot has followed suit by posting a sweet message of her own on social media. The franchise experienced its fair share of ups and downs in 2016, with Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad both earning a mixed critical response despite doing very well commercially....
Paramount Pictures recently screened three scenes from Gemini Man, and here’s a complete description of each one. Getting Gemini Man onto the big screen hasn’t been easy; in fact, just getting the film out of development hell and into production has been quite a long and arduous journey. After spending years at Disney, the rights to Gemini Man, which was originally written by screenwriter Darren Lemke (who most recently co-wrote the script for DC’s Shazam!...
Ghost Recon Breakpoint is about to get a lot more challenging with the introduction of immersive mode. After the game’s launch last year, developer Ubisoft promised that changes were coming to make Ghost Recon Breakpoint “more radical and immersive.” The launch of Ghost Recon Breakpoint was disappointing for Ubisoft, with reviews across the board finding more to criticize than to praise about the game. Critics and players alike pointed to the Breakpoint’s failure to find a consistent tone or identity....
It appears that Google was inspired by Apple when it comes to the benefits of custom-designed chips. The company had already confirmed that the upcoming Pixel 6 smartphone will have a Google-designed System on a Chip (SoC), and a new report today says that the company is taking the same approach for future Chromebooks. Google’s decision is said to have been prompted by Apple’s success with its M1 Macs …...
Halloween 2018 co-writer Danny McBride reveals he and David Gordon Green almost pitched two sequels to be shot back-to-back – but decided better of it. The new Halloween will wipe the slate clean for the franchise, ignoring the events of every other movie bar the 1978 original. The 2018 film will act as a direct sequel, and will bring back Jamie Lee Curtis as iconic final girl Laurie Strode. Series creator John Carpenter will also return to compose the score, while original Michael Myers performer Nick Castle will reprise the role for a couple of scenes....
Apple has lent its backing to the Biden administration’s plan to eliminate greenhouse gases from power plants by 2035. Apple’s environmental VP Lisa Jackson said that buying energy in the US should automatically mean buying clean energy… This commitment was removed from Biden’s American Jobs Plan in order to get the infrastructure spending bill through the Senate, but the administration still hopes to agree it separately. CNBC reports: Jackson said that Apple was proud to have taken a corporate lead in this....
Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee are terrific entries in the long-running series of games that brilliantly migrate the franchise to the Switch while also incorporating features form the incredibly popular Pokémon GO mobile game.

The mechanics in the Pokémon Let’s Go games are simple enough that newcomers can pick them up pretty easily, and there are enough winks and references to the franchise’s extensive lore to keep veteran players invested....
Why People Think Flashpoint will Reboot the DCEU In the comics, the “Flashpoint” story arc was the immediate precursor to the New 52. This was the event that saw a reimagining of almost the entire DC Comics universe, with slightly younger heroes taking on new challenges and seeming to have no recollection of the decades of stories that came before. At the time, it appeared to be a massive reboot of the company’s entire continuity....
A Galaxy Quest sequel won’t happen any time soon — but there may be a reason to hope. The 1999 film, starring Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shaloub, and Sam Rockwell, ended in such a way that it was possible for either a sequel to pick up where it left off. So, why hasn’t it happened yet? Galaxy Quest told the story of a group of actors living off the glory days of the sci-fi space opera TV show they all starred on suddenly being pulled into a real, intergalactic mission....
Warning: SPOILERS for the Game of Thrones books & TV show ahead - The return of Uncle Benjen Stark (Joseph Mawle), a character who appeared for exactly three episodes before disappearing for some five years, is one of Game of Thrones’s biggest developments yet this season – which is saying quite a bit, given just how many twists there have already been this year. But as with most things Thrones, the move comes as part adaptation, part refraction, and part original development – and also, just possibly, part future reveal from those two books in the Song of Ice and Fire series that author George R....

Ever since Game of Thrones formally began production on its seventh season last month, there have been occasional reports about casting of new characters for the show. Some of them - such as that of Jim Broadbent joining the cast - turned out to be true, while others, like the supposed casting of Angela Lansbury, were eventually denied by all involved. Still, the series is likely going to be exploring new realms of Westeros in the coming season, from Oldtown to various spots along the the Khaleesi’s planned invasion route, and that most likely means quite a few new, never-before-seen characters....
Netflix has rapidly expanded its library of original TV show programming over the course of 2016, adding such popular (and varied) series as Stranger Things and Marvel’s Luke Cage to its collection this year alone. The streaming service also revived the TV shows Full House and Gilmore Girls over that same period of time, with the sequel TV show Fuller House and Gilmore Girl: A Year in the Life; a four-part series of 90 minute episodes based around the four different seasons of the year, with Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino returning to continue the story of Lorelei and Rory Gilmore (after Palladino was infamously not involved with Gilmore Girls’ seventh - and, at the time, final - season that aired on The CW)....
Jane The Virgin’s Gina Rodriguez has been announced as the star of a new rom-com for Netflix, Someone Great, with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson directing. The rom-com is one of the many movie projects in the works for Netflix, which has been actively building up its original programming over the past few years, adding both films and series to its Netflix Originals catalog. Rodriguez herself shot to fame after appearing in the titular role in Jane The Virgin, The CW’s series about a woman who gets accidentally artificially inseminated and decides to keep the baby....

The untitled Han Solo Star Wars Anthology film is currently coming together. This will be the second Star War spin-off, following Rogue One, which is set to explore the origins of the famed smuggler. While rumors persist about possible casting choices for a young Lando Calrissian and possible love interests to join Alden Ehrenreich on this journey, it will also be interesting to learn what other filmmakers will be working with directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord....
Doom director Tony Giglio has confirmed the famous Barons Of Hell demons won’t make an appearance in the movie reboot. Doom the video game recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, and it’s the title that made first-person shooters one of the most popular genres in gaming. The simple plot found a lone marine stranded on Mars having to deal with an invasion from Hell, which he does with the aid of shotguns, chainsaws, plasma rifles and a very big gun known as the BFG....
Batman is arguably the superhero with the most disparity in his big-screen appearances. Zack Snyder may have given us a Superman with no red undies, but Joel Schumacher gave us a Batman with nipples on his suit, Chris McKay gave us a zany Lego version of Batman, and Christopher Nolan gave us a cinematic study of the American city disguised as a Batman movie. The Batman movies are a curious thing, because a couple of them are considered to be among the greatest movies ever made and a couple of them are considered to be among the worst movies ever made....
Godzilla: King of the Monsters adds Bradley Whitford to its ever-expanding cast. One of the oldest - and most often used - cinematic monsters in existence, Godzilla likely needs no introduction to most movie lovers, regardless of what continent they reside on. Debuting on film in 1954, the big G has been stomping down buildings and kicking the butts of other giant beasts for over half a century, and shows no signs of ceasing either activity anytime soon....
Geoff Johns has described his plans for Green Lantern Corps as “a complete re-imagining.” In an interview at Comic-Con, he stressed that his current script celebrates the Green Lantern mythology - but also reinvents it. In June, Johns stepped down from his executive position with DC Films. He’s returned to the creative role he prefers, and at SDCC, comic book readers were thrilled to learn that his much-delayed Three Jokers miniseries would be released under the new DC Comics Black Label....
