HBO has begun filming its untitled Game of Thrones prequel series. Based on George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Game of Thrones premiered on HBO in 2011 and only just finished its eighth and final season in late-May. The show’s last season was incredibly popular in terms of ratings, but struggled to impress critics - who took the season to task for its rushed pacing, unearned narrative payoffs, and dazzling yet hollow spectacle - and continues to be heavily debated and/or discussed by general viewers online almost a month after its finale aired....

It’s been a long time coming, but we finally have a second trailer for the Ghost in the Shell remake. The first footage came all the way back in November, but since then word has been quiet, with only a snazzy Super Bowl promo to plug the gap.

SPOILERS for Pacific Rim Uprising ahead Pacific Rim Uprising director Steven S. DeKnight continued the franchise, but original creator Guillermo del Toro should make a proper sequel to his 2013 film, Pacific Rim.

At the heart of Pacific Rim was Charlie Hunnam’s Raleigh Becket, a former Jaeger pilot....

Creed 2 co-star Dolph Lundgren doesn’t really believe Sylvester Stallone’s announcement that he’s retiring as Rocky. Creed 2 marks the eighth time Stallone has played the character, which began with 1976’s Rocky. The original film was never meant to receive a sequel, but after his follow-up movies failed to attract much business, Stallone set about starring and directing in Rocky II. The ending of each sequel seemed to indicate it was Rocky’s final bout before retirement, but Stallone would always come back for more....

The purchase of Fox by Disney has been voted on by shareholders and cleared the U.S. government, but the merging of the companies won’t be instant. For much of 2018 so far, movie and TV lovers watched with anticipation as the bumpy road to Disney buying Fox stretched onward, proving to be as interesting as many a Hollywood production in and of itself. While Disney officially made a $52.8 billion all-stock bid for most of Fox’s assets - Fox News and Fox Sports were excluded - in December 2017, that was only the beginning of the saga....

It appears that another major software company is looking to enter the video game industry, as Google has been quietly making moves the past few years to hint that they are developing a gaming platform that could rival Playstation and Xbox. Gaming consoles and platforms have been around for decades, but the bulk of the 21st century has been comprised of consoles from Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony. Google has broken into the gaming industry through YouTube already, but their attempts to create an actual device, such as the botched Android-based console a few years back, have been met with failure....
Guillermo del Toro opens up about how impressed he is with the Hugh Jackman-starring and James Mangold-directed Logan. Serving as the Australian actor’s final hurrah as Wolverine - a role he had been playing for 17 years - the flick was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at last year’s Academy Awards, the same time del Toro won Best Director and Best Picture for The Shape of Water. Set in a dystopian future with mutants in the danger of going extinct, Logan functioned mostly as a character-driven narrative without any major connections with the ongoing X-Men film series and even the previous standalone movies of Wolverine....
