As has been the case for quite some time, everything old in Hollywood is new again, including the well-remembered 1995 film Jumanji. Despite a lukewarm critical reception, Jumanji was embraced by audiences at the time, earning over $262 million worldwide on a $65 million budget. Bonnie Hunt, David Alan Grier, and a teenage Kirsten Dunst starred alongside Robin Williams in the lead role. Since a remake of Jumanji was first announced, fan reception has been mixed, no doubt caused by concerns that this update will fail to do the original justice....

The Disney film, based on the popular Disneyland attraction, stars worldwide superstar Johnson alongside Golden Globe nominee Emily Blunt. Jaume Collet-Serra (The Shallows) directs from a script written by Michael Greene (Logan). Jungle Cruise marks Johnson’s third time starring in a live-action Disney production.

Speaking with Vanity Fair at the Los Angeles premiere of Avengers: Infinity War, Whedon addressed the backlash against his leaked Wonder Woman script. Admitting that he re-read the controversial script following the backlash, Whedon says he still believes that there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with it: “I don’t know which parts people didn’t like but I went and re-read the script after I heard there was a backlash. I think it’s great....

Update #2: Apple’s statement reads, “It is a fact that Samsung blatantly copied our design. We’re grateful to the jury for their service and are pleased they agree Samsung should pay for copying our products.” Update: An additional $5.3 million was awarded to Apple for Samsung’s infringement on two utility patents. This brings the total to nearly $539 million. After over 4 days of jury deliberation in the Samsung vs Apple patent battle, we finally have a verdict....

Most tech communities spend the summer working through the iOS and macOS betas ahead of the fall releases. For something that’s been happening for the last few years, it feels like fall software releases have been part of our lives for decades. As fun as these updates are for general consumers, they can be a significant source of stress for IT departments. As you work through these beta updates to verify compatibility, you’ll want to plan how you will roll out these updates to your inventory....

Josh Gad once again hypes the possibility of him playing Oswald Cobblepot a.k.a. the Penguin in the DC Films Universe, this time, in the planned Nightwing film helmed by Chris McKay. Gad has long been teasing about his supposed involvement in bringing a contemporary version of the Penguin onto the big screen. May of last year was when he first publicly expressed interest in the role and his eventual meeting with DC head honchos Jon Berg and Geoff Johns only fanned the rumor flames....

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is nodding back to the original Jurassic Park with a cool Dennis Nedry easter egg in the film’s latest trailer. The fifth movie in the Jurassic franchise looks to be very aware of its lauded history, with returns from the likes of Ian Malcolm and InGen linking directly to the original Jurassic Park, although there are some nods that are a little more subtle than that - including a wink towards Nedry...

What Men Want is a new comedy starring Taraji P. Henson as a sports agent who develops the power to hear men’s thoughts. Produced by Will Packer (Girl’s Trip) and directed by Adam Shankman (Hairspray), the film sees Henson’s character, Ali, use her new found ability to her advantage, gaining the upper-hand on several of the men in her life. When Screen Rant visited the Atlanta set of What Men Want earlier this year, we observed a scene in which Josh Brener’s Brandon, Ali’s assistant and Pete Davidson’s Danny, another agent at the agency, talk about their fantasy football leagues while both thinking about something much, much different....

The upcoming Jumanji film – which is supposedly a light sequel to the original starring the late Robin Williams – has already assembled quite an impressive cast in co-stars Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson, with reliable funnyman Jack Black also tagging along. Throw in Karen Gillan (known prominently for her role as Nebula in the Guardians of the Galaxy films) for good measure and the star power is looking stacked for the upcoming film....

Jump Street franchise producer Neal Moritz reportedly blocked the planned crossover film with Men in Black from happening because he did not want to take a pay cut on his usual producing fee. As far back as 2014, Sony was considering the possibility of combining two of their more recognizable IPs, and the project remained in development for a number of years. Director James Bobin even signed on to direct in March 2016, and the movie was given the title MIB 23....

Reuters reports that the U.S. Government versus Apple eBooks collusion trial is set for June 3, 2013. The U.S. Government’s lawsuit is also against publishers Macmillan and Penguin Group, but not against the other three publishers (HarperCollins Publishers, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette Book Group) involved in the case. These publishers have already agreed to separately settle with the government. The lawsuit claims that Apple conspired with publishers to raise eBook prices, but Apple and these publishers deny this, instead saying that they have increased demand for eBooks and eBook readers....

Kamcord, the mobile gameplay recording platform that offers developers an easy way to implement cross-platform gameplay recording and sharing features, is today announcing its next big push in mobile gaming: competitions. The company realized that its SDK provides a lot of unique opportunities for app developers interested in hosting competitions or tournament-style contests, so it’s now working with some to host competitive gaming events in their apps. First up: SEGA. For its first big collaboration on an in-app gaming competition (it held a smaller test recently with developer Pixowl) Kamcord has teamed up with SEGA, which just started using the gameplay recording platform in a version of its popular Crazy Taxi City Rush title yesterday....

Joseph Staten has been involved in some big Microsoft exclusives before. He was part of the team that helped develop and launch Halo 3. Coincidentally, that game was released with a bonus on its disc - a demo of Crackdown that was too big to offer for download at the time. Microsoft bundled the two games together to help increase the reach of Crackdown, and ever since, Staten’s career has been at least tangentially related to the game, even if it has been in his peripheral vision at times....

A stuntwoman tragically died on the set of Deadpool 2 this past summer, and Josh Brolin has now offered up his thoughts on the matter. The highly-anticipated sequel to Tim Miller’s 2016 film, Deadpool, starring Ryan Reynolds as the eponymous character, started filming in June this past summer, with principal photography wrapping up just within this past week. Sadly, though, the movie’s production was shaken when, in August, professional motorcycle road racer and stuntwoman Joi ‘SJ’ Harris was killed in an accident on-set in Vancouver, CA....

How scary is the new Pet Sematary movie? Directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, the horror film has been promised to be the “scariest” Stephen King adaption - that’s no small task given the films his work has inspired. Pet Sematary is a modern re-telling of the Creed family’s supernatural experiences. In this tale, Louis (Jason Clarke) and Rachel Creed (Amy Seimetz) move to Ludlow, Maine with their children, Gage (Hugo and Lucas Lavoie) and Ellie (Jeté Laurence)....

Zack Snyder has revealed that his originally planned Justice League trilogy would have culminated in the sacrificial death of Batman. After helming 2013’s Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Snyder returned to the director’s chair for Justice League. Conceived as part of a five-movie DCEU plan, Snyder’s Justice League would have merely been the first part of three films. The saga would not only have spanned time and become ever more cosmic in scope but would have featured Darkseid much more prominently....

Jim Starlin got worried about Avengers: Infinity War after seeing Justice League. The Thanos creator was aware of the creative process of bringing to one of his most notable works on the big screen, even getting to visit the set of the twin Avengers sequels while they were in production. And considering the massive pressure that came with introducing the iconic Marvel villain in the MCU, Starlin was understandably nervous about Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame....

Cybercriminals employ many of the same techniques when gathering information about potential targets. This is why it is important to familiarize yourself with the tools that are used in this step, so you can identify and stop any unauthorized information gathering on your network. Information gathering is necessary when performing any type of cybersecurity task because it gives the user more knowledge about target systems and networks in order to make an informed decision on how they want to proceed with their attack vector....
