Why does the prospect of a female James Bond inspire such controversy, and does the character’s gender really matter? Following comments from ex-Bond actor, Pierce Brosnan, claiming that it was time a woman fronted the James Bond franchise - sentiments echoed by current 007, Daniel Craig - the entire debate has been cracked open once again and responses are as divisive and passionate as ever. The prospect of a female lead in the James Bond franchise becomes more realistic as Daniel Craig inches closer to the end of his stint in the Aston Martin....

Jennifer Lawrence joins the cast of Adam McKay’s new film, Don’t Look Up. Making a name for himself with comedies such as Anchorman and Talladega Nights, McKay has spent the past few years transitioning to more prestige fare, winning an Oscar for 2015’s The Big Short and earning three more nominations for 2018’s Vice. Looking to build off that success, he’s putting together his next project, a doomsday comedy called Don’t Look Up....

Jerusalem’s Lot, a TV series based on Stephen King’s short story prequel to Salem’s Lot, is headed to EPIX, and here’s what we know so far. Since King first burst onto the literary scene with Carrie in the mid-1970s, there’s been no shortage of theatrical films, TV movies, and miniseries serving to adapt the author’s work. However, one avenue that hasn’t been explored that often is turning King’s stories into full-on TV series, whether meant for a single season run or planned to last multiple years....

The trailer for IT Chapter Two shows that the second and final half of the Stephen King adaptation is changing - and potentially hurting - one of the book’s best scenes. Though creative liberties are inevitable in adaptations, the scene between Beverly Marsh and Mrs. Kersh makes up the bulk of IT Chapter Two’s trailer, and though it stays true to the source material, it suffers from some slight, but potentially damaging, choices....

Do you remember the awesome video we showed you this morning that portrayed how text editing on the iPad should be? It involved dragging small blue cursors to highlight a portion of text and several other gestures to make editing text on the iPad much easier. Luckily, whether Apple decides to act on those cool features or not, it looks like jailbreakers may get a chance to play with the features soon....

James Franco’s acting school, Studio 4, is facing a lawsuit for sexually exploiting students. Franco is widely recognized as an actor whose artistic and creative pursuits have taken to him into everything from filmmaking to painting to writing. Because of the substantial body of work that he’s responsible for, however, the law of averages dictates that not every effort on Franco’s part can be met with resounding success and acclaim....

At the JAMF Nation User Conference (JNUC) this week, IBM’s Fletcher Previn delivered an update on the company’s rollout of Macs internally since it introduced Apple computers as an option for employees for the first time last year. In just over a year, IBM passed its original goal of deploying 50,000 Macs and is now at 90,000 internally. That makes it the largest enterprise Mac deployment anywhere, and Previn described how it’s helping the company cut costs....

An investigation spanning almost two years has concluded that Apple ‘may’ have breached antitrust rules in Japan by forcing carriers to sell iPhones at an apparent discount … Apple required three carriers to reduce the upfront cost of an iPhone below that of competing flagship smartphones, charging higher monthly fees to make up the difference. This sales model was also commonly used in other countries, including the USA and UK, but Reuters reports that Apple made it a requirement for iPhones....

Important Keywords in Java Looking at the table, you must think there are several keywords that you don’t understand. I want to say don’t worry about them. We will be talking about each of these keywords with a small example program. Important Note – Java does not support Goto and Const keywords anymore. They were in use when Java was introduced. When Java was introduced, Goto and Const were in use; with the evolution of Java, other keywords took over, and Goto, Const became useless....

Joaquin Phoenix needed to find Joker’s laugh before accepting the job. The crazed DC villain has always attracted a substantial amount of attention and intrigue from comic book fans, ever since he first appeared in print in 1940. Even today, at a time when CG worlds and creatures are the norm in cinema, it’s rare to find a single human character whose most fearsome qualities are entirely organic. The Joker still captivates audiences, using little more than his appearance and an unstoppable joy for creating chaos and destruction wherever he goes....

It should go without saying that Avengers: Infinity War is going to be massive. It’s the culmination of everything in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, paying off ten years and fourteen movies worth of set-up in a production that a recent report suggests will cost a whopping $400 million. And that’s nothing on the sheer number of characters it’s juggling. Last year, comments from directors the Russo brothers suggested there could be as many as 67, and even taking those statements as hyperbolic you can definitely expect a large cast, as the members of at least six different sub-franchises team up to take on Josh Brolin’s Thanos....

Japanese fans are reacting to the live-action adaptation of the country’s iconic manga/anime franchise Ghost in the Shell in a much more positive way than the film is being received by fans in the U.S. The Rupert Sanders-helmed production starring Scarlett Johansson has been plagued in the West by a whitewashing controversy and underwhelming reviews, culminating in a weak $18.6 million in its box office debut last weekend. And despite an additional $40 million take in foreign territories in its opening weekend, some pundits are estimating that the film could lose up to $60 million when it ends its theatrical run....

As the streaming wars heat up, Avengers: Endgame co-director Joe Russo say that the race to watch is between established champion Netflix, and new contender Disney+. Following Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, the company now owns a massive percentage of the entertainment market. But while Disney is far ahead of the competition at the box office, it will have to play catch-up when it comes to streaming. Disney officially unveiled details about Disney+ in April, including its competitive price point of $6....

One of the questions a lot of people had when Apple first announced the current incarnation of the MacBook Pro design was: is the Touch Bar a gimmick? Last time I discussed this, I concluded it wasn’t worth the premium it likely adds to the price of the machine – and the majority of you agreed with me. But today I go further and wonder whether it adds any value at all … ?...

The first reactions to IT Chapter Two are in, and tease a scary but flawed continuation of the franchise. Based on the well-known Stephen King novel, Warner Bros. had one of the biggest hits of the year in 2017 with the release of IT. Featuring a stellar young cast, a terrifying portrayal of Pennywise the clown, and plenty of scares, the movie broke box office records. Naturally, it wasn’t long before a second chapter to the story was in the works....
