Gina Carano, known for her role as Cara Dune in the first two seasons of ‘The Mandalorian,’ had promising prospects with the studio, including talks of her own spin-off series.
However, her dismissal came after a string of contentious social media posts, including comparing anti-vaxers to Jews and discussing other sensitive topics conflicting with Disney’s image.
Elon Musk reportedly funded a lawsuit supporting employees who feel discriminated against for their worldviews at work. Gina Carano is suing Disney for $75,000 and seeks rehire by Lucasfilm. At Fan Expo Philadelphia, Carano expressed no resentment towards Disney and expressed willingness to return, stating her viral posts were intended to raise awareness.
While it may appear that a reconciliation is in progress with Carano retracting her statements, it’s highly improbable that the studio will rehire her. Disney has emphasized its First Amendment rights, asserting its prerogative to protect its creative integrity from...

Gina Carano is in recent times most notably known as Cara Dune, a pretty big character in the two first seasons of ‘The Mandalorian.’ The studio had seemingly big plans both for the actress and for her character, as she was at one point supposed to receive her own standalone show.
But, everything changed due to a series of controversial social media posts in which Carano compared anti-vaxers to Jews, and after she touched upon other sensitive topics that aren’t quite in tune with modern sensibilities and the image that Disney is trying to maintain, she was fired.
This all led to a lawsuit reportedly financed by Elon Musk, who offered to legally fund any employee who feels discriminated against due to his or hers worldviews in a place of employment. Carano is currently suing Disney for $ 75,000, and she wants to be rehired by Lucasfilm.

It's not surprising that many successful people have been inspired by the media they consumed in their youth. Behind every musician, there is surely an artist or band that shaped their taste in music. Behind every actor or director, there's a movie they couldn't stop watching as a kid.
And behind every successful scientist and businessman planning one intergalactic mission after another, there is a sci-fi franchise that captured their imagination and inspired them to explore space. Whether you share Elon Musk's views or not, it's curious to find out what that franchise meant to him.
What’s Elon Musk’s Favorite Movie?
While some people will find this answer quite simple, others would call it the classic. Star Wars, which was later retitled Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, is the movie that many refer to as 'the original'. For many fans, it was their first...

“I’ve lost track of all time, hours, days,” says Mehdi Hasan, explaining it has been “a manic six weeks.”
The former MSNBC host launched his own media company, Zeteo, on April 15, and things are hectic — in a good way. After Hasan raised $4 million in seed money, Zeteo generated more than 20,000 paid subscribers in its first two weeks. While a standard subscription costs $8 per month, or $72 per year, many subscribers have paid a whole lot more.

Is one renaissance man about to take on another? Apparently so, as IndieWire has confirmed that Andrew Haigh has been tapped to helm a highly anticipated adaptation of Walter Isaacson’s lauded 2017 biography of Leonardo Da Vinci. Paramount had initially won the film rights when the book was first released and even cast the world’s 2nd most famous Leonardo, Di Caprio, in the lead role. Unfortunately, its version eventually went into turnaround allowing Universal to swoop in (perhaps with the use of Da Vinci’s ornithopter) and create a fresh package with Haigh. Initially it was announced that Christopher Hampton would be scripting the piece, but with Haigh now onboard, Universal looks to be giving him full creative oversight, perhaps in an effort to summon the spirit of Da Vinci himself.

Following the success of The Curse, Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder are again teaming with A24 to produce Checkmate, a movie based on the chess world’s biggest scandal.
Chess can be absorbing subject material for drama, whether it’s a glossy period piece such as Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit, or more left-field takes like 2013’s Computer Chess. Perhaps chess movies are like Robin Hood projects: there are always several in development in Hollywood and it becomes a strategic game of, well… erm, chess to see who can put one together first.
The latest chess project is being produced by Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder, and A24 have reportedly spent a seven-figure sum to secure the rights to it. Why the buzz? Well, the film will be based on the biggest scandal the chess world has seen in recent years, dramatising the events of the ‘controversial 2022 head-to-head match between Grandmasters Magnus Carlsen,...

On Monday, the Supreme Court denied Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk‘s appeal to get rid of his “Twitter sitter.” According to the terms of the Securities and Exchange Commission ruling, a lawyer will need to preapprove Musk’s posts related to Tesla on X.
The terms came in 2018 after Musk tweeted that he had funds to make Tesla a private company. However, no evidence of the “secured” funding was found. The SEC claimed Musk violated securities law, saying his tweets were “materially false and misleading.”
Since the settlement, Musk has tried to rid himself of his “Twitter sitter.” The lawyer in question has yet to be named. No person has stepped up to take responsibility for the role.
Last year, Musk also tried to modify the terms of the settlement. A federal appeals court denied his motion. Musk’s lawyers defended his bid by claiming their client...

The beloved sitcom Seinfeld was famously never canceled, because co-creator Jerry Seinfeld and his fellow cast members decided they should walk away after nine seasons, leaving viewers wanting more. But for about a decade, Seinfeld has continuously complained that “political correctness” is stifling comedy of the kind that made him a household name and fabulously wealthy.
As long ago as 2015 — right around when our contemporary ideas of “cancel culture” were beginning to take shape on social media — Seinfeld was talking about not playing college campuses for fear of students labeling his material racist or sexist.

Plot: Cinderella is pushed too far by her evil stepsisters and stepmother, which causes her to switch out her glass shoes and use the assistance of her Fairy Godmother to seek bloody vengeance.
Review: Everyone knows what they’re in for when it comes to these movies at this point, right? I don’t need to lay out the schpeal about public domain horror? Good, because it seems as though these films are here to stay. And in instances like this, I kind of get it. A twisted take on a tale that’s been told a thousand times? We saw Seth Grahame-Smith do something similar with his Pride, Prejudice and Zombies and even Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. So it’s not like this is a brand-new concept. The real question remains: how well does this film do with transforming the Cinderella story into one of horror?

Fairy tales, in their undiluted forms, need no help when it comes to being creepy and horrifying. However, the Disneyfication of these classic stories makes it rather easy to forget their morbid beginnings. In the case of Cinderella, most modern adaptations of this quintessential rags-to-riches tale rarely bring up the violent aspects. All of that has been long removed in favor of safer elements, such as fairy godmothers and anthropomorphic mice. Yet, when reimagining the flaxen servant-turned-princess as someone who seeks “bloody vengeance,” Tom Jolliffe looked to the past; the Cinderella’s Revenge screenwriter found inspiration in the character’s gruesome roots.
The Brothers Grimm did not come up with Cinderella (or Aschenputtel) all on their own, but their familiar variation provides part of the source material for Cinderella’s Revenge. Charles Perrault is also credited, seeing as his French version (Cendrillon) was the first to feature the fairy godmother,...

Hack-and-slash games have been very popular among gamers for quite some time now. These games feature a type of gameplay that focuses on combat with melee-based weapons like swords or blades. Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo series is well-known for popularising this genre but these series lacked something that fans have been craving for years. The hack-and-slash game is fun but it really needs a first-person camera to make things much more exciting. Many players have attempted to make this possible using various mods but Blizzard has never acknowledged this idea.

Well, no one can tell if Blizzard will release a first-person Diablo game in the future but there is another upcoming game that can serve as a substitute: Voin.

Acclaimed writer John Logan will adapt Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy’s “Blood Meridian” novel into a feature film for director John Hillcoat.
Hillcoat is also producing along with Keith Redmon for New Regency. Cormac McCarthy’s son, John Francis McCarthy, will serve as executive producer, while Cormac, who died in June 2023, will receive a posthumous executive producer credit.
“It’s incredibly exciting to have John Logan on board,” John Francis said. “Very reassuring in the seemingly long list of good news concerning what was originally such an intimidating undertaking.”
The project was originally set up with director James Franco and star Russell Crowe in 2016, but fell apart over rights to the book.
Based on historical conflicts along the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, “Blood Meridian” follows the journey of the Kid, a fourteen-year-old from Tennessee, as he navigates the brutal and harrowing landscape of this new era.

Oscar-nominated screenwriter John Logan has come aboard New Regency’s adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel Blood Meridian.
Logan, whose credits include Skyfall, The Aviator, Gladiator, and the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, joins previously announced director John Hillcoat on the project.
Hillcoat will produce alongside Keith Redmon for New Regency. McCarthy’s son John Francis McCarthy will serve as executive producer, and Cormac McCarthy will receive a posthumous executive producer credit.

Cormac McCarthy’s “Blood Meridian” has been one of the trickiest classic novels to adapt for the screen, but it now has a three-time Oscar nominee who may finally crack it.
John Logan, the writer of “Gladiator,” “The Aviator,” “Sweeney Todd,” “Skyfall,” and the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic “Michael,” has been tapped to adapt “Blood Meridian” into a feature film.
Last year, New Regency announced it was developing a feature film based on the 1985 Western novel, and the studio attached John Hillcoat — who previously directed McCarthy’s “The Road” — to direct the film. Hillcoat is also directing and producing “Blood Meridian” alongside Keith Redmon for New Regency.
Cormac McCarthy is getting a posthumous executive producer credit on the film, and his son John Francis McCarthy is also serving as an EP.

After rebranding Twitter as X, Elon Musk is bringing his favorite letter to the small screen. The billionaire tech mogul is launching a new television streaming app for smart TVs called — you guessed it! — X TV. The company boasts that it will feature tailored algorithms, among other features. So what exactly is X TV, and where can you find it? Here’s everything we know about the streaming service so far. What does X TV claim to offer? The company’s CEO Linda Yaccarino touted its benefits on Twitter Tuesday, writing that while it’s still being built, the features of the service will include a “trending video algorithm” (perhaps similar to the “for you” list of tweets or the trending topics bar), “AI-powered topics,” “cross-device experience”, “enhanced video search,” “effortless casting,” and “wide availability.” From the small ...

In what will surely come as a huge shock to the general public and cause no small number of monocles to pop out, Amazon MGM Studios has elected to retitle Zoë Kravitz's feature directing debut, which was previously going under the not-at-all provocative moniker "Pussy Island." Kravitz's film will instead be released as "Blink Twice," which for me conjures memories of David Tennant's 10th Doctor desperately warning Carey Mulligan not to blink around the Weeping Angels in the classic modern "Doctor Who" episode "Blink."
That association isn't entirely inappropriate, either. "Blink Twice," like "Blink," is a potpourri of horror, mystery-thriller, and humor with an English actor at its core. In this case, it's Naomi Ackie of "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," "Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody," and "Master of None" season 3 fame starring as a young woman who accompanies a tech billionaire -- played by Kravitz's current real-life significant other,...

Elon Musk’s X platform is continuing its video push, launching a dedicated app for smart TV sets.
The X video app launched Tuesday, with the company touting a handful of key features, including a trending video algorithm, artificial intelligence-powered trending topics and cross-device compatibility, so users can start watching on their phone and continue watching on TV.
The X TV app will not have any ads at launch, according to a note sent to the company’s corporate partners Tuesday.
“We’re focusing on launching this new feature for consumers first, but we do plan to monetize it, and will discuss different forms of partnerships — and that may include ads,” the note said.
The company also posted a preview video of the video experience, providing a brief glimpse of the TV app. The videos included in the preview video included Tucker Carlson’s interview with Vladimir Putin and footage...

John Oliver dedicated his latest episode of Last Week Tonight to UFOs and started talking about the topic, making a crazy joke about Hugh Jackman.
“Our main story tonight concerns UFOs,” Oliver said on the HBO late-night show. “They brought us great album art, classic movie moments, and, of course, Hugh Jackman. I can’t prove it yet, but I’m close.”
Oliver then said Kesha, Russell Crowe, and Jimmy Carter have claimed they’ve seen UFOs. The comedian went on to open dialogue to the history of sightings in the sky that sometimes have simple explanations.
“There clearly should be room for sober assessment of UFO sightings,” Oliver said later on in the show. “I will acknowledge that when you do that, the answers you get can sometimes end up being less fun.”
Oliver was talking about an alleged UFO sighting through a night vision recording that was thought to actually be commercial drones.

Ryan Garcia’s Startling Claims: From Kanye West To Oprah Winfrey ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
Professional boxer Ryan Garcia often grabs the spotlight not only because of his sport but also because of his controversial remarks allegedly targetting influential personalities via social media. Recently, he made news by claiming Kanye West refused to accompany him because of his Sean Diddy Combs, and before that, he targeted several celebs – from Tom Hanks to Diddy Combs. Here’s everything you need to know about it.
On Saturday night, Garcia faced Devin Haney at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. When fans speculated that Garcia might not even make it to the ring because of his questionable social media activities, the boxer showed everyone by scoring 12 12-round majority decision over the lightweight champion Haney.

Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk, have capitalized on a little-known provision in corporate law to pursue the restoration of Musk’s $56 billion pay package.
This untested maneuver has the potential to embroil the company in legal disputes once again.
The electric vehicle manufacturer proposed subjecting Musk’s 2018 remuneration agreement to a shareholder vote despite its invalidation by a Delaware judge in January. Tesla has leveraged a lesser-known section of Delaware’s corporate law that empowers companies to correct procedural flaws that would otherwise render their boardroom decisions null and void.
Tesla acknowledged that the special board committee responsible for its approval could not anticipate how Delaware law would interpret this unconventional course of action.
The provision was primarily intended to serve as a “Band-Aid” for minor errors in boardroom proceedings rather than to overturn significant court rulings.

Tesla’s stock crashed this week following the announcement that the electric vehicle company would be laying off 10 percent of its staff. If things weren’t already looking grim for Elon Musk’s flagship company, it was just ordered to recall nearly 4,000 of its recently released Cybertrucks over an accelerator pedal issue that could result in actual crashes.
On Friday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (Nhtsa) issued a mandatory recall of 3,878 Cybertrucks — the futuristic, stainless steel beasts that have become the subject of widespread public mockery and consumer disappointment...

In the movie Dream Scenario, starring Nicholas Cage, a biology professor named Paul Matthews starts appearing in the nightmares of random people all over the country.
None of these people understand why, nor do they know anything about Paul beyond recognizing his unusual face -- which gives them flashbacks of the terrible dream.
Paul himself is perplexed because he has not intentionally done anything to these people, nor is he a Freddy Krueger-type monster who controls a higher plane of existence.
But when Paul becomes infamous for his cameo appearances in peoples' dreams, he begins to see scorn, fear, hatred, and eventually violence coming from people who hold him personally responsible for their nightmares.
As I finished Dream Scenario, I realized this is what some right-leaning celebrities must feel like.

AI continues to expand with new methods of content creation, leading to the loss of many jobs and causing hardship for artists. The idea of this kind of technology being available is very scary. An old, fictitious PlayStation 9 trailer depicted the console’s features as bunkers at the time.
However, considering the emergence of new technologies such as Elon Musk’s Neuralink, which can literally implant chips into your brain, this trailer may not have been entirely inaccurate. Lucky for you, this is far from happening; at least 20 years have to pass for this kind of advancement.

From the moment the film was announced a year ago, “Abigail” has been marketed as a remake of “Dracula’s Daughter,” the 1936 Universal Pictures curio. So it’s no spoiler to say that the title character of “Abigail” is…Dracula’s daughter. Yet if you went in not knowing that, it might be the only real surprise in the movie, apart from what a brutally monotonous blood-vomiting genre mashup it is.
For a while, we think we’re watching a standard kidnap thriller. It opens with Abigail (Alisha Weir), who is 12, on the ballet stage rehearsing “Swan Lake,” a most definite vampire homage, since Tchaikovsky’s gorgeous heart-swelling score is the same music that played over the opening credits of the 1931 Bela Lugosi “Dracula.” That lyrical entré ends in about three minutes, as the kidnappers, all overstated profane synthetic crudeness, jam themselves into a van and abscond with Abigail, who they...

Elon Musk is one of the most successful businessmen on the planet. He founded a number of major companies and has an innovative vision for the future. He’s one of the richest men in the world as well with an estimated net worth of $180 billion. Musk is also a college dropout, well, sort of.
Some people have heard that the Tesla CEO dropped out of college, while others heard he actually earned a degree. So which is it? We’re clearing up any confusion about Musk’s education.
The university Musk dropped out of and why
Elon Reeve Musk was born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa.
He attended Waterkloof House Preparatory School and then graduated high school in the South African capital city before immigrating to Canada when he was 18. Musk enrolled at Queen’s University in Ontario and later decided to transfer to the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

There was a time when people thought about Amazon, Jeff Bezos would come to mind. And when they thought about Tesla, Elon Musk would. Nowadays, you might just think of them as two of the richest men on the planet. But how rich are they?
Here’s the answer to which billionaire has the higher net worth. Plus, who the “richest person in the world” is today (it’s not Musk or Bezos).
Elon Musk’s net worth
Musk was born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa.
In 1992, he moved to America and attended the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Musk earned two degrees from the Ivy League school — a Bachelor of Arts in physics and a Bachelor of Science in economics.

Remember how the first Aquaman came out and was a colossal success? It really seemed like everything was finally on track for the character after years of jokes and abuse. Then tragedy…or well…insanity struck. The sequel was plagued with reshoots, scheduling conflicts, and an ever-changing landscape of the Dceu. Plus there’s the Amber Heard of it all, which has grown increasingly complicated. Today on DC Revisited, we’re getting into it all, as we dive into James Wan’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Before the first Aquaman had found massive success, Warner Bros was already hard at work on developing a sequel. Jason Momoa himself pitched a story to the studio, wanting to be more involved in the sequel’s development. This makes sense as Momoa really was the face of Aquaman and had shifted the perception of the character from a blonde man in tights...

The Morning Show writer, showrunner and executive producer Charlotte Stoudt joined Deadline’s Contenders TV event Sunday to discuss the intricacies of running a faux newsroom, ripping stories straight from the headlines and the upcoming Season 4.
In Season 3, the news show’s future is questioned when a tech mogul takes an interest in the parent network, Uba. Unexpected alliances form, secrets are weaponized, and everyone is forced to confront their moral judgments in and out of the newsroom.
“It’s a gift to create characters that people love and will watch do very flawed, messy and sometimes awful things,” Stoudt said about the joys of the series getting renewed at Apple TV+. “I got to come in and think about how to torture them a little more. And I think the other thing that I love about the show is that it has the opportunity to speak to the moment.

The Breakthrough Prize Ceremony, also known as “the Oscars of Science,” is an awards show unlike any other.
Founded and funded by Silicon Valley titan Yuri Milner and his artist wife Julia Milner, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, 23andMe co-founder Anne Wojcicki, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative co-founder Priscilla Chan, the Breakthrough Prize recognizes “scientists changing the world” with award statuettes and sizable cash prizes. And on Saturday night, at the ceremony’s 10th edition — the second in a row held on the roof of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, with the Hollywood Hills glistening in the background — presenters, performers and audience members included a collection of A-listers that could give the Oscars a run for their money.
One could turn left and spot Bill Gates and Robert Downey Jr. sitting at the same table, or right and find tablemates Bradley Cooper and Rupert Murdoch schmoozing.
