Filming on New Mutants ended as far back as September 2017, but Fox delayed release several times, citing reshoots and their desire to release Dark Phoenix first....

Man of Steel has its admirers and detractors, but one of the most intriguing elements of Zack Snyder’s 2013 Superman reboot was its depiction of Superman’s birth planet of Krypton. A far cry from the cold, crystalline ice world popularized by Richard Donner’s Superman in the 1970s, Man of Steel’s Krypton was a provocatively vivid and decidedly alien-looking world with design elements influenced by H.R. Giger’s Alien, David Lynch’s Dune, and even James Cameron’s Avatar....

The world is in no shortage of scary things. Yet not everyone shares the same fears. Death is a common source of panic for the average person. Then there are those who flinch at spiders or at the idea of public speaking.

That’s an improvement over Juniper’s 2009 forecast calling for one-to-six ratio by 2014....

All those surveys about corporate America embracing iPads? They’re accurate. Here’s a shocker, though: Most are missing or neglecting the fact that businesses are clueless about putting Apple’s shiny gadget – or tablets as a product category – to a productive use.

The 25th James Bond movie overall, No Time to Die will mark Daniel Craig’s fifth and final time playing Bond when it opens next year.
