The Frozen II teaser is strikingly different from the original Frozen trailer, which goes to show: Disney really didn’t know what they had with that film. A loose re-imagining of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen, Frozen told the story of Anna (Kristen Bell) and her older sister Elsa (Idina Menzel), a pair of princesses from the fantasy realm of Arendelle. The movie was an unexpected smash hit that grossed nearly $1....
Did Futurama predict the Star Wars 9 title in 2000? Of course not - “Star Wars 9– Yoda’s Bar Mitzvah” is a joke - but it’s certainly striking this throwaway background detail has become so relevant almost two decades later. Let’s explain. The ninth and final entry in the main Star Wars Skywalker saga is still lacking a title, although with production drawing to a close and both its predecessors having their subtitle revealed by now (Star Wars: The Force Awakens was confirmed in November 2014 ahead of a December 2015 release, Star Wars: The Last Jedi in January 2017 ahead of December that year), the expectation for an official announcement is beginning to really ramp up....

Although Game of Thrones has ended, there are still spin-offs to come, and now a prequel TV show about the history of the Targaryens is in development alongside Blood Moon. Blood Moon (the working title, although a leak suggests it may be the official title, too) wrapped filming its pilot this year and is still awaiting a full series order from HBO. No official release date for the first spinoff has been set, but fans have been informed that Blood Moon is set thousands of years before Game of Thrones, at the end of the Age of Heroes....
The CW has been building its own DC Comics shared universe for many years now - first with Arrow, which introduced Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) before he spun off into his own series, The Flash. Then, Legends of Tomorrow was spun off from both Arrow and The Flash utilizing characters from each series in addition to introducing new heroes, such as Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) and Nate Heywood (Nick Zano). Plus, The CW acquired Supergirl after the Girl of Steel’s solo series initially debuted on CBS....
It’s been proven several times that Apple’s success affects a multitude of different companies and here is the latest example. As detailed in a new report from Bloomberg, Hon Hai Precision, better known as Foxconn, is seeing record share prices thanks to high expectations for the iPhone 8… Foxconn is, of course, Apple’s main assembler of the iPhone and relies heavily on the company’s devices to meet its own goals. Foxconn has gained 29 percent in the past year, with shares reaching a decade-high number thanks in large part to the exceptions for the iPhone 8 release later this....
Multiple tipsters wrote in this evening saying 20th Century Fox movies are appearing in their purchased movie iTunes accounts ready for re-downloading over iCloud. Sure enough, Fox’s Horton Hears a Who! is on my kid’s iTunes account ready for downloading on iCloud (above, left). There is also no longer a disclaimer saying, “This movie is not available for iCloud downloading,” in iTunes (above, right) which existed before. When Apple launched Movies in Cloud in March, both Fox and Universal held out....
Airing for eight seasons between 1987 and 1995, Full House was one of the most beloved sitcoms of the last era of television. Chronicling the lives of the extended Tanner family, who all lived crammed under one roof in a (very fittingly) full house, the series made itself known for its unique brand of cheesy warmth, saccharine music, and important scenes that always ended with hugs and lessons. But beyond every Very Special Episode and moralizing message, the series was only as good as it was because of the sincerity of its central relationships....
Game of Thrones was renowned for its ability to balance a huge cast of characters, each with their own complicated plot lines, perfectly together. However, sometimes characters must be trimmed out of adaptions in order to make the adaption easier to follow. What may translate well on the page, or be given enough time to explore in a book, may not be possible on screen. As a consequence, many characters from the books are removed and have their arcs given to other characters, while other characters and their arcs are removed altogether....
Only two official promo images are released for Game of Thrones series finale. After eight seasons of the fantastical series, the show will finally bow out this Sunday with a final 80-minute episode. Knowing the massive clout the show has all over the world, HBO seemingly felt that there’s really no need to push for much exposure having rolled out just two marketing stills to hype up its much-talked about conclusion....
A deleted scene from Disney’s smash hit Frozen 2 finally gives an explanation for an unanswered question from the 2013 original. Last November, Frozen 2 finally debuted in theaters and soon became just as big of a success as the first film. With a current worldwide gross of $1.43 billion, Frozen 2 is the highest-grossing animated film of all time. The well-reviewed sequel follows Elsa (Idina Menzel), Anna (Kristen Bell), Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), and Olaf (Josh Gad) as they travel north to uncover the mysteries of a long-forgotten enchanted forest....

Following Paul Walker’s untimely death in 2013, Furious 7 was almost canceled by the filmmakers. The Fast and the Furious films started as a humble car racing movie which would gross a couple hundred million dollars per entry to a bonafide smash franchise that grossed over a billion and a half dollars with Furious 7. It established itself as a fun tentpole series with ridiculous car stunts and an ever-growing cast of likable characters....
Performance issues like freezing can always be attributed to firmware problems but there were also cases where third-party apps caused the device to run slow and eventually freeze for a few minutes. In the case of the Samsung Galaxy A8 and A8 Plus, one of the most powerful smartphones in the market today, you can be rest assured that the hardware is not the issue considering the fact that the phone’s specifications are off the charts but that doesn’t mean a hardware issue cannot cause the phone to freeze....
In Game of Thrones season 8, Bran Stark is planning to lure the Night King using himself as bait - but what if the Night King really wants Little Sam instead? The third episode of Game of Thrones’ final season is almost here - and with it comes the Battle of Winterfell, the final showdown (presumably) between the armies of the living and the dead. Last week’s episode ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ was all about setting up this massive battle, laying out Team Winterfell’s plan against the White Walkers, as well as showing all the major players bracing themselves for the moment that the fight begins....
