Last season on Game of Thrones, the hit HBO series brought back a number of characters who had been missing for several seasons, such as Rickon Stark (Art Parkinson), Osha (Natalia Tena), Benjen Stark (Joseph Mawle) and the nefarious Walder Frey (David Bradley). Today we have a report that the show is bringing back another long-missing character, who was recently spotted on the set as production began in Spain this week on Game of Thrones Season 7....
Since Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull made $770 million worldwide, it should be no surprise that a fifth film is in the works. The Los Angeles Times spoke with Harrison Ford who said that George Lucas is currently cooking up ideas for a fifth Indy film. “It’s crazy but great,” Ford said. “George is in think mode right now.” Ford added, “It’s automatic, really, we did well with the last one and with that having done well and been a positive experience, it’s not surprising that some people want to do it again....
A power-struggle seems to be brewing on the set of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, if rumor is to be believed. According to Hollywood Elsewhere there are differences of opinion over the tone of the film between Gavin Hood, who is directing the film, and Fox co-chairman and CEO Tom Rothman. The struggle seems to center over whether or not the film should be dark, somber and gritty (as Hood would prefer) or if the film should be a little brighter and lighter, in order to draw a wider audience, which seems to be Rothman’s view....
Can’t we all just get along? In a story from Home Media Retailing, it seems that for as close as Macs and PCs have gotten there are little things like operating systems that keep them apart. Apparently, “an iTunes upgrade Apple released that would make it compatible with Microsoft’s new Vista operating system failed to solve all the issues posed by two very different computer systems operating in the same hard drive....
There are very few roles in film that invite as much public attention, scrutiny, and opinion as the role of James Bond. Daniel Craig is likely (and deservedly) sipping on a shaken not stirred martini on a beach somewhere in the Mediterranean, thoroughly enjoying his retirement, having hung up his tux and Walther PPK after the exertions of No Time to Die. With the 007 role vacant, the job specification is the broadest it’s ever been....
With no less than three live-action Spider-Men we’ve seen on the big screen and even more than that when factoring in the animated versions, there’s definitely no shortage of Spider-Man movies we’ve seen released over the past two decades. Perhaps the big question is, which ones are the best of them all? Marvel fans will have their own opinions, and the way everyone orders their rankings will differ from person to person....

While the latest DC outing, Matt Reeves’ The Batman is doing wonders at the box office, amassing acclaim and praise from audience and critics alike, its other planned feature, the sequel to Todd Phillips’ Joker has received a disappointing update for fans. According to The Direct (in a piece picked from The Ankler), the studio, to date, hasn’t received any draft on the sequel from the film’s writing team. The film was earlier greenlit by the studio owing to the unexpected success of the first film, which grossed more than a billion dollars at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing R-Rated film of all time....

It’s been a rough few months for Disney in terms of its relationship with the queer community. After CEO Bob Chapek’s open apology to its employees, the company has been displaying more leniency towards LGBTQ+ characters in their movies.

Kelly Marie Tran, in an interview with Insider, said that she would jump at the chance for a queer sequel....

Rian Johnson’s Knives Out made waves in 2019, delivering a jaw-dropping, star-studded, mysterious, and brilliantly complex whodunit, that quite easily ranks among the best. Since the first Knives Out floored its audience, fans have been clambering for a sequel to the hit film. Thankfully, in 2021, in a trailer for all the upcoming Netflix titles, fans were treated to a small but exciting teaser for a sequel to the fantastic whodunit, titled Glass Onion....

Game of Thrones is now a decade old, meaning it’s been ten years since Joffery Baratheon ordered Eddard ‘Ned’ Stark’s execution and started wars across Westeros, amid a rising threat from the North.
