Duffy, Charlotte Maggi and Sky Yang will star in his next feature, Rebel Moon, in which ‘a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy is threatened by the armies of a tyrannical regent named Balisarius.

Nickelodeon orders a brand-new golf special called Nickelodeon Slime Cup, featuring the talents of Justin Herbert, Terry Crews, and more!
“Nickelodeon is putting slime on the green in a brand-new golf special, Nickelodeon Slime Cup, produced with key members from the team behind the popular made-for-TV golf franchise, The Match. The hour-long special will feature a ‘Nick-ified’ golf course with one-of-a-kind tee boxes, far-out fairways and greens, physical challenges, and lots of slime, culminating with an exciting final hole taking place inside the iconic Rose Bowl stadium. Production will begin this February at a Los Angeles-area golf course, with a premiere slated for this summer on Nickelodeon.”
The first teaser poster for the next Star Wars show, Obi-Wan Kenobi, has been revealed, but what does it all entail?
“‘May the twenty-fifth be with you!’ It doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, but it’s official: May 25 is the release date for the star-studded Star Wars series Obi-Wan Kenobi. Set in the years before the original trilogy, this Disney+ original stars Ewan McGregor reprising the title role, alongside his former co-star Hayden Christensen. Disney recently released a first look poster on Twitter, revealing the release date and leading fans to scour it for clues. So just what can we expect from this prequel-sequel? The answer is even further buried in the past.”
A multitude of new images from The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power have been revealed.
“Amazon’s show, which debuts on Prime Video on September 2, is based not on a Tolkien novel per se but on the vast backstory he laid out in the appendices to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Five seasons will likely cost the studio well over $1 billion. That kind of budget might decimate most other studios, but Tolkien, like space travel, is a personal obsession for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who’s among the richest people in the world. This is a big-ticket business venture that will allow him to create the most expensive, elaborate TV series ever made. While Jackson is not connected to the project, his movies, as well as their spiritual successor Game of Thrones, proved that there’s a massive audience for immersive fantasy. Of course, many have tried to capture that same audience, and few have survived or thrived.”
In a recent interview, Robert Pattinson describes his version of Batman as a “weirdo,” and it’s hard to disagree with his take on the Caped Crusader.
“In a new interview with GQ, Pattinson broke down his role in The Batman and what it all means for Bruce Wayne/Batman. ‘He’s kind of a weirdo as Bruce and a weirdo as Batman. In this, it’s sort of implied that he’s had a bit of a breakdown. But this thing he’s doing, it’s not even working,’ Pattinson said. ‘Like, it’s two years into it, and the crime has gotten worse since Bruce started being Batman. The people of Gotham think that he’s just another symptom of how shit everything is.'”
Hulu is bringing Futurama back, but some fans are worried that a critical character might be getting recast.
“Is there a modern animated show more resolutely unkillable than Futurama? David X. Cohen’s satiric spin on the world of tomorrow has had 3 lives already—its original, on Fox; the revival movies that started rolling out in 2007; and, finally, the two seasons that ran on Comedy Central from 2010 to 2013. (You could also argue for a fourth life, in the form of the single-episode Simpsons crossover the series got in 2014). Now, Hulu has decided that we simply haven’t gotten enough of Philip J. Fry just yet, announcing today that it’s granting the show yet another revival season.”
