Warning! SPOILERS for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker ahead. The secret that Finn was unable to confess to Rey in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was not that he was secretly in love with her, as John Boyega has denied the theory on Twitter. In The Rise of Skywalker, there is a moment when Finn and Rey are trapped in quicksand while on Pasaana and they believe that they are going to be pulled under, where Finn almost confesses something to Rey but is stopped by the sand before he can get the words out....

But not everyone in the series is operating outside the law. Jerrika Hinton plays FBI Agent Millie Morris, who does her best to see justice done within the actual justice system. Greg Austin, meanwhile, plays one of the objects in her crosshairs – the villainous Nazi with his own psychopathic agenda, Travis Leitch. The actors sat down with Screen Rant to discuss their characters’ motivations, and how the setting of the series helped inform the progress of the story....

Did you ever wonder why it took Apple ten months to produce the white iPhone 4, which finally goes on sale tomorrow? According to The Wall Street Journal’s Mobilized blog, white iPhones need UV protection. Author Ina Fried interviewed both Apple’s boss Steve Jobs and marketing honcho Phil Schiller. The latter said: And here’s from Jobs: Jobs also confirmed that an upcoming iOS update will address that location tracking issue that Apple earlier today characterized as a “bug” and confirmed Apple will next week testify in a Congress hearing about location-gathering practices....

At CinemaCon, Lionsgate released a teaser poster and official synopsis for highly anticipated action sequel John Wick: Chapter 3. For an actor who often gets so much flack about his lack of range, Keanu Reeves has sure played a lot of memorable characters over the years. Reeves will probably forever be most associated with playing unlikely savior Neo in The Matrix, with his two outings as time-traveling slacker Ted “Theodore” Logan in the Bill & Ted franchise running a close second....

A video has been released recreating what John Wick may have been like were it a 1980s 8-bit game played on the NES. The film is back in the public consciousness from the recent release of its second sequel, subtitled Parabellum, a Latin phrase translating to “prepare for war” and referring to every assassin within an outlaw subculture seeking the vast bounty on its eponymous protagonist’s head. Released in 2014, John Wick stars Keanu Reeves as a former assassin who had escaped his life of violence....

Disney executives are reportedly worried Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit will alienate fans of the Mouse House when it opens later this year. Based on the novel Caging Skies, Jojo Rabbit tells the story Jojo Betzler, a Hitler youth who discovers his mother is hiding a young Jewish girl in their home. As one might expect, this makes life quite confusing for Jojo, whose closest companion is his imaginary friend, a fictionalized version of Adolf Hitler....

Joker’s box office success proves Marvel isn’t the only way when it comes to comic book films. From the time it was announced, it was clear Todd Phillips’ Joker was going to be a change-of-pace for the genre. Drawing heavily from Martin Scorsese classics like Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy (among other notable influences), the film is much more of a psychological character study than a spectacle-driven tentpole. It also made headlines for being completely separate from any shared universe, operating independently of the already established DCEU (which had a Joker, played by Jared Leto in Suicide Squad)....

Apple’s top designer Jony Ive is featured in watch magazine Hodinkee this month to talk about the origins of the Apple Watch, his long-time friend and design partner Marc Newson, the future of Apple, and more. The rather in-depth interview starts with Ive talking about the origin of the Apple Watch – and how Steve Jobs’ lack of interest in watches played a role. Ive says the first talks about Apple Watch started a few months after Jobs’ passing, with the company keenly aware that it needed to pick a trajectory for itself:...

The comedy-actor-turned-action-hero known as John Krasinski has starred in many films and TV shows during his career. Though Krasinski first got into acting in the early 2000s, his breakthrough didn’t begin until around 2005, soon after he was cast in what would become one of NBC’s biggest sitcoms, The Office. As Krasinski’s biggest TV role began to wrap up, he shifted deeper into the world of film, even breaking into directing....

John Lithgow is set to play Fox News’ Roger Ailes in the upcoming Annapurna film following the story of Ailes’ downfall in the wake of a serious sexual harassment suit. News of Annapurna’s plans to adapt this story for the big screen has been in the headlines for months as the film’s cast grew to include some impressive names, but many have been questioning who would take on the role of perhaps the most important player, Roger Ailes himself....

If you are a fan of the Apple Original show Servant, you will soon be able to join the producer M. Night Shyamalan in his very first Ask Me Anything on Reddit. Shyamalan will answer questions about the show and the horror genre on Thursday, February 11. The announcement was made on Servant‘s official Twitter profile. The Reddit AMA with M.

Jon Bernthal has officially joined Ghost Recon: Wildlands in two free DLC missions, which launched yesterday. In addition, Ghost Recon: Wildlands will be free for everyone to play (assuming they have Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus) during the entire weekend. Ghost Recon: Wildlands first launched in 2017, and while it was considered a disappointment by some at the time of release, Ubisoft has continued to add new content to the game and it’s enjoyed a relatively steady and dedicated player base....

(Update: He’s back. Whew!) Early Monday morning, Jonathan Ive, Apple’s VP of design, disappeared from the list of executives on Apple’s website. While this type of thing has usually only happened when an executive left the company, there’s no reason to believe this is more than a website glitch at this point. In the past whenever someone has been removed from the list, his accompanying personal page was also deleted. For example, the link to Scott Forstall’s bio now leads to an error page....

A Jersey Shore spinoff called DJ Pauly D and Vinny’s Vegas Pool Party with Vinny Guadagnino and Pauly DelVecchiois in the works and fans of the franchise could not be happier. The success of the Jersey Shore has held strong throughout the years and MTV is hoping their new show will be as popular. The iconic Italian flag printed on the garage still welcomes fans as they drive down the main strip of Seaside Heights, New Jersey towards the Jersey Shore house....

The Harry Potter book series came to an end in 2007 with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, in which the epilogue gave readers a taste of Harry’s life a few years later, but J.K. Rowling made sure that fans knew what Harry’s post-Hogwarts life was like beyond that. Harry pursued a career as Auror, something he had been dreaming of for years, but he would have performed better in another job also related to the dark arts....

While Keanu Reeves has received a fair amount of flack over the years when it comes to his acting abilities, there are definitely certain types of roles in which he excels more than others. One of these is that of the badass action hero, as perhaps best exemplified by his portrayal of kung-fu loving savior Neo in The Matrix trilogy. More recently, 2014 saw Reeves land arguably his best action role in years, that of extremely dangerous retired assassin John Wick....

The timing of the announcement of Jon Favreau’s new Star Wars live-action TV series has been met with harsh criticism on social media on International Women’s Day. Disney and Lucasfilm took another big step forward in the Star Wars universe Thursday with the announcement that Favreau would be executive producing and writing a live-action TV series that will be featured on Disney’s streaming service, which is launching sometime next year....

Joe Giudice fought hard against deportation to keep his relationship with daughter Gia. The Real Housewives of New Jersey episodes showed the toll that the situation had taken on Joe’s wife and the Giudice daughters, showing them barely holding it together. Joe Giudice, best known for trying to pull one over on the United States government, was released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement one month ago on October 11, and then flown immediately back to his home country, Italy, after being in ICE custody since March....

Star Wars actor John Boyega is interested in starring in a sequel to Joe Cornish’s 2011 sci-fi comedy Attack the Block. The film was released prior to Boyega being cast in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and it has grown a cult following over the years, propelled further by Boyega’s recent mainstream success. In Attack the Block, Boyega stars as a teenager named Moses who leads a small gang in South London....
