Alien director Ridley Scott has said he wants to replace the titular creature in its own franchise, but with respect to the legendary filmmaker, he just doesn’t seem to understand the Xenomorph anymore. The beast is far from “cooked.” Ridley Scott’s work in the sci-fi genre is rightly considered groundbreaking, with both Alien and Blade Runner presenting visions of the future that influenced the genre for decades to come. Scott’s return to the Alien franchise with Prometheus was highly anticipated, but that movie would ultimately split viewers down the middle....

Ridley Scott has now begun production on Alien: Covenant, the sequel to his film Prometheus (the quasi-prequel to Scott’s original 1979 Alien movie), as evidenced by photos from the film’s sets in New Zealand and Australia having started to make their way online. However, now that the studio behind the Alien film property, 20th Century Fox, has formally announced that the plan is for Covenant to serve as the middle chapter in a Prometheus/Alien movie prequel trilogy, this has raised the question: is there still a place for filmmaker Neill Blomkamp’s Alien 5 in the future of this sci-fi/horror series?...

Actress Alyssa Milano believes the Charmed reboot is disrespectful of the original series. The CW originally ordered the reboot of Charmed in 2018.

Aside from Gad, the Toy Wars team will also include co-writer Josh Schwartz and will be directed by Seth Gordon (The Goldbergs, Horrible Bosses). The original Toy Wars book was written as a result of journalist G. Wayne Miller’s five years of access to the Hasbro corporation, a time in which the author sat in on meetings and interviewed employees. The main thrust of the story involves the unexpected takeover of Hasbro by Alan Hassenfeld after his brother died of AIDS, leaving the rather free-spirited Alan in charge of an entire toy empire at a time of intense competition with Mattel....

Alan Menken is a legend when it comes to movie musicals. He’s been involved with properties ranging from Little Shop of Horrors to most of your favorite Disney movies from the 90s and beyond.

One of the things that no one has really talked about much on the Android platform is the limit of installing apps to the internal storage (news to us), and not on the external Flash micro SD cards. Apple allows you to install apps on the 8-64GB of storage that comes along with the iPhone/iPod Touch platform. AndroidandMe exposes this significant issue with the Google OS: The Droid ships with a 512 MB ROM which contains only 256 MB available for app storage....

Long before messaging apps and their web clients came into existence, Google Hangouts has been the most sought application.

However, technical snags keep occurring and the same happens with Hangouts as well....

Jony Ive has long talked about the idea of an all-glass iPhone, dubbed “a single slab of glass” – and the company has now been granted a patent for a potential design, along with a glass Apple Watch and Mac Pro tower. The illustration of the all-glass iPhone is the most detailed, showing displays on both sides, as well as functional touchscreen buttons on the edges … Patents are generally written in the most general of terms, which makes Apple’s abstract (spotted by Patently Apple) sound a little like it’s claiming to have invented the concept of a glass box....
