BioWare dropped a major bombshell on the industry by revealing a first look at the newest Dragon Age game, revealing a trailer that announced The Dread Wolf Rises. Whether or not that’s the title of a new game or just a revelation from its story, it’s brand new information regarding the direction of one of BioWare’s biggest properties.

Netflix’s Bird Box stars Sandra Bullock as Malorie, a woman fighting for survival after mysterious entities appear all over the world, inducing suicide in anyone who catches sight of them. While Bullock’s character is the focus of the film, however, Bird Box also has a rich supporting cast filled with familiar faces, including John Malkovich, Trevante Rhodes, Sarah Paulson, and Tom Hollander. Given that the trailer for Bird Box primarily focused on Malorie and her two children, and avoided giving away too much about the movie’s plot, some of the actors who appear are a total surprise....
Update: Apple has now issued a statement. Bloomberg reports a Beijing Intellectual Property Office ruling that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus violate the design patent of a Chinese phone, and that Apple must cease sales of both models within the city. Bizarre intellectual property rulings are not unusual in China – witness Apple losing the exclusive right to the iPhone trademark there last month – but this one does appear to set a new record, as the iPhone 6 looks nothing like the Baili 100C …...

One of DC Comics’ most famous villains, Black Manta has been at odds with King Arthur of Atlantis since the Silver Age.

It’s been 34 years since the original Blade Runner was released - and over half that time, there has been an ongoing effort to get a sequel off the ground. In 2017, just two years before when the original movie was set, it’s finally going to arrive in the form of Blade Runner 2049, directed by Arrival’s Denis Villeneuve and starring Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Robin Wright, Dave Bautista, Ana de Armas and Jared Leto....

Between Two Ferns: The Movie images reveal a first look at the two ferns. The new comedic film from comedian Zach Galifianakis and director Scott Aukerman has its roots in the low-budget Funny or Die interview series that began back in 2008. For the uninitiated, the 22-episode series – officially known as Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis - focused on a different celebrity interview each episode. The often improvisational series offered Galifianakis playing a heightened version of himself, complete with deadpan delivery and beyond rude treatment of his guests....

Dragon Age: Inquisition released five years ago today, and BioWare’s leading the way for fans to celebrate the storied franchise. The original Dragon Age: Origins sort of surprised fans of western RPGs when it launched back in 2009. The franchise kicked off with a success that came out of nowhere, and it quickly became one the most beloved in the genre....
Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn) sees Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn return after first appearing in 2016’s Suicide Squad, and beyond that, uniting Jurnee Smollet-Bell’s Black Canary and Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Huntress together to form the Birds of Prey superhero team for the first time on the big screen.

Mahershala Ali simply called Marvel and asked to be cast as Blade in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Kevin Feige made several big announcements during Marvel Studios’ panel at San Diego Comic-Con, but among the most exciting was that Blade was going to be introduced into the MCU, and that 2-time Oscar-winner Ali would be playing the iconic character. The character Eric Stokes Brooks, a.k.a. Blade, was introduced in 1973 in the comic The Tomb of Dracula #10....
You better believe that the DCEU is spreading its wings further in the near future as Birds of Prey will be arriving to bring in a unique take on the superhero genre, as well as adding in new female leading characters in this universe. The promotion for the film has been done well so far, but that doesn’t mean it’s all positivity that fans are feeling. While we’re hopeful the film turns out well, there are certain points that need to be addressed so that Birds of Prey hopefully does not turn out to be a disappointment....
Apple had great news for movie lovers yesterday: not only would it be selling 4K movies for the same price as existing HD ones, but you’ll be able to upgrade existing purchases to the higher resolution completely free of charge. However, while most major studies are in on the deal, there’s one odd omission: Disney … The WSJ noted that Apple displayed logos for most major studios when announcing the news, but not Disney....
Amid a flurry of lazily written, unfunny, premise-squandering studio comedies, inspired first-time director Olivia Wilde burst into multiplexes with a debut feature that proved the genre isn’t dead just yet. Anchored by Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever’s incredible on-screen chemistry in the roles of Molly and Amy, Booksmart was the funniest comedy in years, but as the story of a close friendship put to the test on one pivotal night, it also had some surprisingly heartfelt and emotionally resonant moments....

The contestants have no contact with the outside world once they’re inside the house and they must take part in various tasks designed to make the game more interesting or tense....
A number of big-name investment funds substantially increased their AAPL stock holdings during Q3, a bet that currently looks ill-timed as the stock has now lost 15% of its value so far this month … Reuters reports that the investments were revealed in SEC filings yesterday. The investments were made at a time when many hedge funds were moving out of tech stocks. Philippe Laffont’s Coatue Management made a big bet by raising his exposure by 938 percent to 884,321 shares while Chase Coleman’s Tiger Global Management put on a new position to own just over 1 million shares […]...
