The first teaser trailer for Frozen 2 was recently released, so Screen Rant’s Ryan George is celebrating by revealing what (probably) happened in the original pitch meeting for Frozen. Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s famous fairy tale The Snow Queen (but honestly bearing only a vague resemblance to it), Frozen sees royal sisters Anna and Elsa divided - first figuratively, and then literally - by Elsa’s incredible ability to create ice and snow....

For the past six years, HBO have dominated television ratings, social media buzz and awards shows with Game of Thrones. Adapting the fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin, the show’s mix of political intrigue, magic, and dragons has made it a juggernaut on TV. The most recent season helped the show win a Director’s Guild award, as well as one for cinematography. As exciting as the last season was, however, fans are anxious for the new one to start....
Game of Thrones season 9 may be something fans of the HBO high fantasy series want to see after the big season 8 finale, but unfortunately it’ll never happen. Season 8 is the show’s final season, but that doesn’t mean fans’ time in Westeros is over. The immensely popular HBO series based on the A Song of Ice and Fire books by George R.R.

Hollywood is always looking for new media to adapt into movies. For years, that meant books and plays, but video games and comic books have slowly joined that fray. While the former has found little success, the latter has become a genre unto itself. One area of untapped potential has long been anime and manga. While various Japanese studios have made live-action versions of hit animated series, the trend hasn’t made its way to the US....
In the world of Westeros that George R. R. Martin has so lovingly crafted, house reputation means a great deal. It is the deciding factor in creating an alliance or an enemy. It is a means of garnering power, respect, and often fear. With the numerous houses that reside in Game of Thrones, a hierarchy is inevitable. Some houses are simply better than others, and this list intends to uncover just that – to distinguish between the lowly houses of moon doors and flayed men, to the true powerhouses in Westeros....
The tax was nicknamed a GAFA tax after the initial letters of the main companies targeted… The Local reports some strong language by Macron. The reference to ‘tax haven status’ relates to practices used by Apple and others to funnel profits on European sales through Ireland, and then to claim large deductions for R&D costs incurred in the US. There have also been accusations that Apple assigns most of its European profits to a subsidiary which exists only on paper and which pays no taxes anywhere....
Freddy vs. Jason (2003) was the cinematic answer to many horror fans’ question of: “If Freddy and Jason got into a fight, who would win?” Director Ronny Yu delivered by bringing Robert Englund in as Freddy and nabbed stuntman Ken Kirzinger for the role of Jason, despite Kane Hodder’s desire to play the role opposite his friend (Englund). The plot was riddled with holes and shaky at best, but the movie was never intended to be a masterpiece: it was meant to be a crossover between two of the most beloved slasher franchises and bring Jason and Freddy together to, presumably, see who would kill the other in a fight to the death....
Since she was little, Arya Stark never had any interest in the ladylike pursuits that captured the interest of her older sister Sansa. Instead of whiling away her time daydreaming of a bucolic life in court or snagging the attention of a noble knight, Arya spent it attempting to be more like her older brothers, with swordplay and feats of strength. Though small, she could be quick and agile, something her opponents only discovered when it was too late....
After two years of grueling waiting, the season 8 premiere of Game of Thrones finally welcomed back fans into the world of Westeros for the last time. Despite the lofty expectations, “Winterfell” introduced the final season of Game of Thrones rather quietly, filled with heartwarming reunions and plot-setting conversations between key players. While certainly exposition-heavy, episode 1 of season 8 still managed plenty of substance for fans to discuss. And to that end, here are 5 things that satisfied fans and 5 things that bothered them....
iPhone assembler Foxconn and its recently-acquired display subsidiary Sharp are considering plans to build an LCD planet plant in the USA, according to a Sharp executive cited by Nikkei. Softbank last year committed to investing $50B and creating 50,000 jobs in the U.S. during a meeting with president-elect Trump, though the Dow Jones said afterwards that this was part of a $100B investment plan announced prior to the election. At the time, a side appeared to show that Foxconn was planning to invest $7B and create the same number of jobs in the USA....
The Chinese OEM Huawei offers EMUI skin for its devices that are running on the Android version with plenty of improvements and features. It’s needless to say that each and every stock firmware is too good and stable enough to run the official smartphones quite impressively.

Fuller House season 5 part 1 is now available on Netflix, and it contains a fun reference to another classic sitcom: Cheers. Netflix’s sequel spin-off of the ’80s/early ’90s family-centric sitcom Full House debuted in 2016, effectively bringing back the Tanner family. However, while the original sitcom focused on the clan’s patriarch, Danny, and his two best buds, Joey (Dave Coulier) and Jesse (John Stamos), its contemporary puts the spotlight on the two Tanner sisters: DJ (Candace Cameron-Bure) and Stephanie (Jodie Sweeting), as well as their long-time friend Kimmy (Andrea Barber)....
Future patent battles between Apple and Samsung could take an entertaining turn as Apple has been granted a patent on radial menus for touchscreen devices – using an illustration that bears a notable resemblance to the Air Command menu used by Samsung on the Galaxy Note 3. Lest anyone accuse Apple of copying Samsung, Apple first patented the menu approach back in 2012 – a year before Samsung adopted it. The reason for the second patent granted today is that Apple seemingly had in mind OS X rather than iOS when it first came up with the idea, illustrating it in a desktop environment....
The revised Samsung Galaxy Fold launch date in the US will be decided in the next couple of days, says the company’s CEO Koh Dong-jin. The statement follows an earlier email to customers explaining that pre-orders may be automatically cancelled unless confirmed … The original Galaxy Fold launch date was April 26, a plan the company was forced to abandon after multiple tech writers reported screen failures with review units. Samsung’s immediate response was to take back review units and ask for an explanation of why the screen failures occurred to be removed from the Internet....
