Jon Kasdan confirms he’s writing the script for Steven Spielberg’s Indiana Jones 5 in a new tweet. Earlier this week, it was reported that Kasdan, who co-wrote this summer’s Solo: A Star Wars Story with his father, Lawrence Kasdan, was hired to write the latest draft of Indiana Jones 5 for Lucasfilm, thus meaning that the movie may not make its planned release date. The fifth installment in the Indiana Jones series was originally expected to release in 2020 but expected to be delayed amid news that screenwriter David Koepp has been replaced by Kasdan, who is now re-writing the film’s much-anticipated screenplay....

Co-stars Joaquin Phoenix and Robert De Niro had disagreements about script readings, says Joker director Todd Phillips. Warner Bros. and DC’s latest project is almost here and the filmmakers behind the film are busy doing the press rounds for the movie. And during one of the recent interviews with its helmer, he revealed that two of his most prominent actors had clashed on the set about whether or not to do read-throughs....

Season 2 of Marvel’s Jessica Jones is a slow-burn mystery. A very slow-burn mystery. The series continues the Marvel/Netflix tradition of superhero TV shows taking their sweet time getting to the point, perhaps hoping the viewer will be too locked into binge mode to notice five hours have gone by with little in the way of actual story to show for it. Like this past summer’s event series The Defenders, the show is more focused on encouraging the audience to finish the season than it is in making sure the series is as compelling as it can be on an episodic level....

In an new interview released today, Jimmy Iovine and Larry Jackson delve deeper into some of the finer points of their artistic relationships on the Apple Music platform. The pair go into details on why hip-hop and R&B artists have seen a surge in streaming, how they maintain their relationships with artists despite labels, and the impact of Apple Music’s platform on piracy. The interview kicks right off asking for clarity on the “huge surge in streaming for hip-hop and R&B artists” we’ve seen....

Warning! MILD SPOILERS for Jojo Rabbit ahead! Jojo Rabbit’s soundtrack features a mix of classical compositions, jazz numbers, and pop tunes - including a couple German versions of notable songs. Written and directed by Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok), Jojo Rabbit is what he describes as an “anti-hate satire”, using the outlandish idea of a kid with Adolf Hitler as an imaginary friend to expose the evils of fascism and bigotry....

Following the extensive 60 Minutes piece last December, Charlie Rose has shared yet another interview with Apple design head Jony Ive. In the 35 minute interview, Rose and Ive discuss the qualities that “make Apple Apple” and the role of design in the company’s identity. The interview starts by focusing on the qualities that Apple looks for in employees to create a culture driven around innovation and design, noting that the focus is never monetary, but rather entirely design and product:...

Dear Apple Community, For the first time in a decade, I’m getting to spend the holiday season with my family, rather than intensely preparing for a Macworld keynote. Unfortunately, my decision to have Phil deliver the Macworld keynote set off another flurry of rumors about my health, with some even publishing stories of me on my deathbed. I’ve decided to share something very personal with the Apple community so that we can all relax and enjoy the show tomorrow....

In Brittany Runs a Marathon, Jillian Bell plays the title character, an overworked, underpaid, desperate millennial trying to keep her head above water in the big bad city. It’s an experience to which many urban dwellers can relate, and her struggles with weight, money, love, friendship, and self esteem are almost too much to bear. Brittany ultimately turns to exercise, and the long-term goal of running a marathon, as a means to turn her life around and take control of her destiny....

John Boyega has made a name for himself in the sci-fi world with his breakout role in Attack the Block and then a giant leap into the Star Wars universe as the ex-stormtrooper Finn. Now, taking on an additional role as producer, John Boyega stars in Pacific Rim: Uprising as Jake Pentecost, the son of Idris Elba’s Stacker Pentecost, the man who cancelled the Apocalypse in the first film. John talks to us about being a fan of sci-fi films and reacts to the idea of being John Stewart in the DCEU....

The new trailer for John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum has been officially released online. After getting its start back in 2014, the John Wick series is one of several Hollywood franchises that looks to be winding down to a close in 2019. Though director Chad Stahelski has stated he’ll always have ideas for more sequels, Parabellum has - as far back as June 2017 - been sold as the “completion to Mr....

Several character posters have been released for John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, ahead of the new trailer launching on Thursday. With just under two months to go before John Wick takes on, well, the world, Lionsgate has been ramping up its marketing for the latest installment in the Keanu Reeves-led action franchise. Reeves is once again joined here by the series’ writer Derek Kolstad and director Chad Stahelski, who helmed John Wick: Chapter 2 on his own after he and David Leitch split directorial duties on the first movie (though only Stahelski received credit)....

Todd Phillips’ Joker has inspired protesters worldwide to adopt the likeness of the iconic Batman villain. Despite a decidedly mixed response from both critics and audiences, the society-skewering character portrait continues to clean up at the box office. In the controversial film, Phillips rewinds Gotham’s history, and examines Arthur Fleck’s transformation into the Clown Prince of Crime. Joker recently lost its Certified Fresh status on Rotten Tomatoes, and has proved so singularly divisive that it’s no surprise that Warner Bros....

Jessica Simpson has admitted that Nick and Vanessa Lachey never actually gave her a gift. After days of speculation, the singer said she does not recall receiving a gift from her ex-husband. Simpson was one of the biggest pop stars of the early 2000s thanks to hits like “Irresistible” and “Without You.” The singer kept a clean look about her as she grew up in Texas as the daughter of a preacher and was taught to save sex for marriage....

During a set visit to The Lion King, we bore witness to the evolution of Disney’s vision for the latest remake. Every time a classic tale is reimagined, fans of the original wonder what will change while also hoping the core elements stay the same. Which way will the story of Simba (Donald Glover) lean? While the plot was locked in before the digital work began, thanks to not only the original but also the efforts of Disney’s story team who challenged details early on, director Jon Favreau had his own tweaks to incorporate....

A Jesse Pinkman movie would be the perfect way to give Breaking Bad a happy ending without ruining the integrity of the original show. It’s crazy to consider now, but the original plan called for Jesse to die in the first season. Becoming so impressed with Aaron Paul’s performance, Vince Gilligan kept the character around - a decision that ultimately paid off in spades. Jesse remains a fan-favorite and his arc was exceptionally rewarding....

Jessica Jones showrunner Melissa Rosenberg explains the evolution of Malcolm, and whether he’ll come back into the fold next season. Like the other Marvel-Netflix shows, Jessica Jones has a batch of recurring characters that the lead hero keeps at arm’s length. Season 2 introduced some new faces that we’ll likely see again, but Jessica’s core team continues to consist of Trish Walker, Jeri Hogarth, and Malcolm Ducasse. And while the two seasons of the show so far have seen the evolution of the titular character and her journey to overcome her trauma, Malcolm has walked a similar line....

It was revealed last week that Apple would be sponsoring the 2016 Met Gala, with Chief Design Officer Jony Ive serving as a co-chair for the event. Now, Ive, along with Vogue editor Anna Wintour, another Gala co-chair, and Costume Institute Curator Andrew Bolton, has sat down with The Wall Street Journal for an interview on Apple’s foray into the fashion industry. Ive himself explained that Apple’s interest in the fashion industry has peaked recently thanks to the release of Apple Watch....

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation’s Ronnie Ortiz-Magro says he is working on his relationship with Jen Harley, despite the dark past. Hoping to turn over a new leaf with Harley, Ronnie has decided to ignore the fact that he has been physically abused and run over by a car so he can try to move forward in his life. The tragic couple has had more than their ups and downs, to say the least....

John Williams finally gets a Star Wars movie cameo in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Other than George Lucas, Williams is arguably the most important contributor to the iconic franchise. His memorable soundtracks helped elevate the films to new heights, turning them into rousing, crowd-pleasing space adventures. For more than four decades, Williams has provided fans with a bevy of classic compositions, including the main Star Wars theme, “The Imperial March,” “Duel of the Fates,” and “Rey’s Theme....
