The much-anticipated new live-action adaption of Red Sonja, the chain-mail bikini-clad warrior of the sword-and-sorcery comics of the same name, has finally began shooting. Matilda Lutz, known for her roles in Revenge and Medici, is playing the titular character. Although Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp) was…
We knew that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, a re-imagined water ride based on The Princess and the Frog, was coming to Disney Parks—and while it won’t be open for a few more years, it’s already inspired some stunning new art, more of which was unveiled today as part of the company’s celebration of World Princess Week.
ESPN has aired NCAA women’s tournament games on ABC for the past two seasons but not the title game.
The Nissan Leaf is one of the more affordable EVs when compared to brands like Tesla. Although, the Leaf doesn’t hold its value for long, and here’s why.
The scheduled retirement of the International Space Station in 2030 has put NASA under a lot of pressure to secure a replacement. The space agency has tapped several private companies to develop a solution, with a collaborative project from Blue Origin and Sierra Space recently passing a critical milestone.
Just as the news of one major Batman project falls, another one rises. In fact, a few have risen. Writer-director Matt Reeves and his company 6th and Idaho just signed a first-look deal with Warner Bros. to continue to develop and expand his Batman universe, which began with last year’s hit, The Batman. He’s working…
It turns out that unrelated doppelgangers may have quite a bit in common beyond just twin faces. New research suggests that lookalikes with incredibly similar faces tend to share many genetic variants—variants that don’t just seem to shape their appearance but general aspects of their life. At the same time, other…
HBO Max has swung the ax on another six animated projects, according to Variety. One of them is Batman: Caped Crusader, a series produced by J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves and Batman: The Animated Series co-creator Bruce Timm. The show, which was announced last year, is a spiritual successor to Timm’s classic ’90s series.
Unlike some of the other shows and movies HBO Max has canned in recent weeks, production is continuing on these projects. The production teams will seek another home for them. The other projects in this wave of cancellations are Merry Little Batman, The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, Bye Bye Bunny: A Looney Tunes Musical, Did I Do That to The Holidays: A Steve Urkel Story and The Amazing World of Gumball: The Movie.
HBO Max is deprioritizing kids and family content. Last week, it yanked dozens of shows, including several animated series. It also removed hundreds of Sesame Street episodes in an apparent move to save on licensing fees.
On top of that, HBO Max canceled exclusive movies Batgirl and Scoob!: Holiday Haunt and took down other notable original shows and movies in recent weeks (one of Batgirl‘s directors seemingly tried to capture some footage from the movie on his smartphone to no avail). What’s more, the streaming service and sibling HBO laid off several employees from the family programming division this month.
Parent Warner Bros. Discovery is removing certain shows and movies from HBO Max ahead of merging the service with Discovery+ next year. “As we work toward bringing our content catalogs together under one platform, we will be making changes to the content offering available on both HBO Max and Discovery+,” it said.
The decisions to cancel and remove content come amid border cost-cutting efforts at Warner Bros. Discovery, which formed after the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery earlier this year. CEO David Zaslav and his team are trying to make $3 billion in cuts, but the moves have had an impact on the company’s stock price, which has fallen by 25 percent since August 4th. The company’s valuation has dropped by billions over the last month. That footage from The Last of Us sure looks good, though.
Warner Bros Discovery wanted to save $3 billion by deleting series, movies, killing payments to animation workers’ health funds, firing a lot of women and minorities and their reward has been losing $5.5 billion market cap in a month & alienating top talent. Great job. pic.twitter.com/QuocGhW3N6

The typed word dominates our lives today, but it’s still a relatively fresh invention in the timeline of humanity—and despite how drastically printing altered our societies, there’s still a lot we don’t know about its early history. Recently, a team of scientists put some of the earliest known printed documents…
