Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy remains one of the standout series in the comic book movie genre, leaving a substantial impact on the film industry as a whole in the years since its release. One of the main reasons why the films were so successful was the casting. Nolan did an admirable job assembling a top tier roster of talent to act in his tales of Gotham City in regards to both the heroes and the villains....
While it’s been known for quite some time that Steppenwolf will be the big bad for Justice League, it’s likely that his nephew Darkseid will be taking center stage sooner or later, especially with the Mother Boxes also coming into play. Now, though, there’s some big news regarding the third Mother Box of humanity and how it will connect to Cyborg. According to the latest issue of Total Film (via Screen Crush), not only has the human Mother Box granted Cyborg his powers but it has seemingly become part of the character, essentially pointing to Cyborg actually being the Mother Box himself....
Oscar-winning writer and director Jordan Peele has officially acknowledged the video of Detective Pikachu’s titular character recreating the classic Key & Peele sketch. Featuring the voice of Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), Detective Pikachu is due for general release later this week. It will mark the first attempt at bringing the world of Pokemon to the screen in live-action. With potentially a whole franchise riding on the film’s success, marketing has ramped up in recent weeks, with Reynolds once again throwing himself into promoting the film in unconventional ways....
Following the $1 billion verdict in the Samsung vs. Apple case, Samsung has been attempting to get the courts to investigate juror Velvin Hogan. It claimed Hogan “concealed information” about his past history with Seagate, a company Samsung is now a shareholder in. CNET reported Federal District Judge Lucy Koh will consider Samsung’s claims in a hearing set for Dec. 6. At the heart of the allegations is whether Hogan disclosed that his former employee Seagate had previously sued him:...
The Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom synopsis teases what’s next for our heroes, as well as a giant conspiracy. Universal relaunched the Jurassic Park franchise two years ago in grand fashion. Jurassic World crushed expectations and went on to break several box office records, before Star Wars: The Force Awakens re-broke those records later that year. To no one’s surprise, the $1.6 billion hit gave the studio plenty of confidence to move forward with plans for a sequel, though what would come next was not clear....
Warning: SPOILERS for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom! Like most blockbuster films nowadays, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom has an end-credits scene, but it’s a weak one that tells fans nothing new and doesn’t stoke the desire to return for the third chapter of the trilogy. The J.A. Bayona-directed blockbuster continues the franchise reboot begun in Jurassic World by Colin Trevorrow, who co-wrote Fallen Kingdom and will direct Jurassic World 3. Trevorrow’s master plan revolves around bringing the dinosaurs into the real world to cause havoc while shady military forces and rogue governments seek to weaponize the dinosaurs....
Just Mercy is based on a true story of harrowing bigotry infiltrating, manipulating, and coercing the Alabama judicial system into abandoning its duty to protect and serve black Americans – but how does the Warner Bros. movie compare to the true story? Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, whose other credits include The Glass Castle and the indie gem Short Term 12, Just Mercy’s blockbuster cast includes Michael B. Jordan as civil rights attorney Bryan Stevenson, Jamie Foxx as the falsely accused Walter McMillian, and Brie Larson as Alabama activist Eva Ansley....
With Justice League right around the corner, a brand-new poster and behind-the-scenes image have been revealed. While the prospect of so many major DC Comics characters joining forces on the big screen was always exciting enough for many moviegoers, the massive success of Wonder Woman earlier this year opened up a whole new demographic for the next live-action DC film. While the draw of characters like Batman and The Flash is large and superhero movies tend to do well at the box office these days regardless of who they feature, there’s no denying that Justice League now has access to an expanded audience thanks to Wonder Woman....
Warning: MAJOR spoilers ahead for Batman v Superman - The long-awaited arrival of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has produced quite a thunderclap in the popular culture, unleashing a torrent of negative reviews and pitting the critics against droves of fans. But regardless of its controversy, the film is also elaborately setting up a future cinematic event that could rival – or, just possibly, surpass – what Marvel has managed to do with its Avengers films: namely, Justice League, Part I....
Artist Jay Oliva has confirmed that Zack Snyder had a complete cut of Justice League. It would be quite the understatement to say that production on the Warner Bros. superhero ensemble tentpole was tumultuous. While it was plagued by several issues, arguably its biggest controversy was the director switch after original helmsman Zack Snyder stepped down from directing duties due to a personal tragedy, resulting in former Marvel Studios director Joss Whedon stepping in and overseeing the reshoots....
Warner Bros. is reportedly starting afresh on Justice League Dark and Doctor Strange writer Jon Spaihts is reportedly leading the charge. Warner Bros. Pictures has set several DC Extended Universe movie release dates now, but their plans for the franchise as a whole are seemingly rather fluid right now. Most recently, the studio was reported to be considering an Elseworlds-style brand for non-DCEU movies, too. One project that will remain part of the DCEU until further notice is Justice League Dark, a personal and small story that introduces some rather unique characters from DC’s lore....
Justice League is off to a solid start at the domestic box office, following its Thursday evening preview screenings. The film is the fifth installment in the DC shared cinematic universe (also known as the DC Extended Universe), following the release of the divisive Man of Steel in 2013, last year’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad (both of which were commercial hits, but critical duds), and this past summer’s critical darling/box office smash success, Wonder Woman....
Kantar has refuted gloomy suggestions that record sales of the iPhone 6/Plus may make it tougher for Apple to persuade customers to upgrade, saying that its data “suggests Apple has ample opportunity for upgrades in Q4 2015 and 2016.” The pessimistic view put forward in some quarters goes like this. There was a lot of pent-up demand for larger-screened iPhones. Everyone who wanted one has now bought one, so upgrade rates will now tail off significantly....
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige says The Avengers writer-director Joss Whedon tipped him off before his announcement about moving over to DC to make Batgirl. It was no doubt a shot heard ‘round the cinematic world last month when Whedon rocked the MCU faithful with the news he was going to write, direct and produce Batgirl as a standalone movie for the DCEU. On one hand, fans weren’t surprised at Whedon’s choice to develop Batgirl, given that he’s fostering strong female characters on both the small and big screens many times before; the real shock came from the fact that he was doing a film for Marvel’s chief competitor....

A post-credits scene has been confirmed for Justice League by none other than Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa. The forthcoming DC superhero team-up extravaganza is the culmination of the Warner Bros. DC Extended Universe that first began way back in 2013 with Man of Steel. Bringing together Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Flash and Cyborg to fight the evil Steppenwolf, Justice League is one of the most anticipated cinematic releases of 2017 for superhero movie fans....
With 2015 behind us, moviegoers are gearing-up for an onslaught of highly-anticipated comic book movies in 2016 - starting with Deadpool in February, followed soon behind by the Justice League kickoff Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Initially developed as a Man of Steel sequel, Batman V Superman has grown into a full-on shared universe crossover movie - with planned appearances by iconic characters from both Batman and Superman’s respective colleagues and enemies....
These new application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), Juniper says, are designed to be optimized for the specific needs of specific points in the network. “As networks have evolved over the past two decades by supporting more diverse and demanding digital services, operators have increasingly sought out specialized silicon to tackle specific roles,” Juniper’s Brendan Gibbs wrote in a blog post. “Networks run better with ASICs optimized for different tasks.” The sixth generation of Juniper’s Trio silicon for MX Series routers maximizes logical scale and programmability for complex and dynamic edge service nodes....
Kali Linux is a free and open-source penetration testing Linux distribution built by Offensive Security. The distribution can be installed on various devices including smartphones and Raspberry PI. What’s New In Kali Linux 2020.3? Recently, Kali Linux team switched from GNOME as a default desktop environment to Xfce, a much smooth, lightweight, and less resource consuming desktop environment. In this release, the team has implemented several important updates and that include the new shell ‘ZSH’, automating HiDPI that helps a lot, Win-Kex, new tool icons, Bluetooth arsenal for some very interesting use cases that I will discuss later in this article, and Nokia support for Kali NetHunter....
I’ve been searching high and low for an analyst prediction on the success of Samsung’s Galaxy S4, and today, in the French paper Les Échos, I finally found one. JPMorgan says Samsung will likely ship 320 million smartphones in 2013, of which 80 million will be the high end Galaxy S4. Is that goal reachable? Last week I covered a DigiTimes report that said Samsung has an internal goal of hitting half a billion phone sales....
