With Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them officially out (and officially a hit), the interviews and discussions about several prospective sequels to the film just became that much more relevant. Fantastic Beasts has piqued the attention of Harry Potter fans across the world by giving them a tantalizing taste of the wizarding world outside of the Britain, Harry, and Hogwarts focused original series. It’s safe to say the wizarding world has gotten a whole lot bigger thanks to Fantastic Beasts....

Blumhouse’s Fantasy Island, an upcoming horror reinvention of the classic TV series, is rated PG-13, and that’s likely to undercut its quality. Over the past decade, Blumhouse has become one of the go-to producers of theatrical horror films, with way more hits on their resume than misses. The company has gifted fans with the Paranormal Activity, Insidious, Sinister, The Purge, and Happy Death Day franchises, as well as standalone success stories like Jordan Peele’s directorial debut Get Out....

Fear the Walking Dead somehow managed to turn its villains, the Pioneers, into the good guys in its latest episode, thereby proving that season 5 hasn’t actually had any villains at all. Throughout Fear the Walking Dead season 5, the core group now led by Morgan has faced and overcome a number of obstacles, including fighting irradiated zombies and flying a once-crashed plane over a mountain range. But perhaps their biggest barrier has been trying to win a PR campaign....

One fan of the upcoming Venom film has determined exactly how Tom Hardy’s anti-hero would look if he had eyes. Ruben Fleischer is directing the R-rated Sony adaptation of the eponymous Marvel character, who was originally introduced as a villain but has since become more of an anti-hero. That is the route the filmmakers plan on taking with the movie. Venom will tell the story of Eddie Brock (Hardy), a journalist investigating a shadowy organization known as the Life Foundation that discovers lifeforms known as symbiotes....

Avengers: Endgame fan-made posters reveal the fates of other Marvel Cinematic Universe characters following Avengers: Infinity War. Earth’s Mightiest Heroes were handed their first real defeat in last year’s Marvel event film when Thanos (Josh Brolin) successfully gathered all six Infinity Stones and used them to execute The Decimation - leaving half of life in universe dead. That includes some of the Avengers’ allies and beloved ones also disintegrating into dust....

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald controversially changed Harry Potter canon, but J.K. Rowling’s amendments have enhanced Albus Dumbledore’s past. Though Jude Law’s new iteration has been widely praised, the success of young Dumbledore has been plagued by numerous controversies. The allegations of domestic abuse against Johnny Depp have cast a lasting shadow over the central Grindelwald/Dumbledore dynamic, along with the franchise at large. Fans also turned away from the second Fantastic Beasts movie when it was confirmed that Dumbledore’s queerness would be downplayed....

The Fast and the Furious franchise isn’t known for being a romantic movie series. If you’re going to see one of the films, it’s probably for the fast cars, incredible chase scenes, action sequences, and at least one scene filled with scantily-clad women or muscular men. But in a series with eight movies (nine, if you count Hobbes and Shaw), of course, there have been some relationships. Really, it was Brian’s relationship with Mia that kicked off a lot of things that happened....

In a stunning bit of news, it turns out that more characters will be making the move from The Walking Dead to its spinoff show Fear the Walking Dead. It’s an exciting night for fans of both series, as the latter show will air its season 4 premiere right after the former airs its season 8 finale. One of the most intriguing elements of Fear the Walking Dead’s fourth season is the promised crossover, which will see Morgan (Lennie James) somehow migrating between shows to end up with the Clark family....

Fear not, Justin Bieber won’t be joining the cast of Fast & Furious 9 anytime soon – here’s the ridiculous rumor explained and debunked. The Fast & Furious franchise began in 2001 with The Fast And The Furious and for the first seven films the focus was largely on Paul Walker and Vin Diesel characters Brian O’Conner and Dominic Toretto. Filming of the franchise’s seventh installment Furious 7, however, was interrupted by the untimely death of Paul Walker in a car crash....

The latest footage for Fast & Furious 9, recently revealed as F9, features a scene that could reveal a major moment from Dominic Toretto’s past involving his father. The scene can be found in the action-packed trailer that played during Super Bowl LIV. Vin Diesel will once again portray the role of Dom alongside the return of franchise vets like Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Sung Kang....

DevSecOps is a growing field ripe with opportunities for IT professionals and software developers, especially now that workers and much of daily business have moved to the cloud because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “DevSecOps is a combination of three words, development, security and operation,” said Infosec Skills author Remi Afon, an experienced DevSecOps consultant and cybersecurity specialist who recently released a DevSecOps learning path in Infosec Skills. Why organizations implement DevSecOps DevSecOps is a shift in thinking, adding security into software development and IT operations (DevOps) from the beginning rather than at the end....

The Fast & Furious 9 trailer teaser offers a sneak peek at Dom’s (Vin Diesel) life with his new family: Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) and his son Brian. And though all seems well in the preview, there’s clearly trouble on the horizon, with Letty passing Dom’s prized necklace onto Brian with the warning that “It’s for protection… from what’s coming”. Since its launch with The Fast and the Furious in 2001, the Fast & Furious brand has evolved from a simple neo-noir action movie about underground street racing to a globe-trotting adventure franchise on the scale of James Bond....

When it came to trailer views and social media activity, Fast & Furious 9 was easily the big winner at this year’s Super Bowl. The NFL’s 2020 championship game was a success all around, becoming the first Super Bowl in five years to see an increase in ratings. There were fewer commercials for movies than there have been in the past, with studios like Warner Bros. and Sony sitting out the game entirely and Paramount opting for cheaper pre-game show spots....

There are several ways in which the Google Assistant and Google Home outshine Siri, but one that has stood out to me since HomePod’s release is Google Home’s integration with Chromecast… Essentially, if you have both a Google Home and a Chromecast dongle or Chromecast-enabled TV, you can ask Google Home to play content on your TV. Google outlines the process in a support document here. You can simply say, “Hey Google, play The West Wing on TV” and the show will start playing via Netflix or whatever streaming service you desire on your Chromecast-enabled TV....

February’s Microsoft Xbox Game Pass additions are sure to excite subscribers - Final Fantasy 15 and Wolfenstein: Youngblood have made their way to the monthly game service. Though both games received lukewarm ratings from fans and critics compared to other installments in their respective series, these two games represent an excellent addition to Microsoft’s Game Pass collection. Game Pass includes numerous excellent games, from Mass Effect to Obsidian’s latest game, The Outer Worlds....

Fargo TV series creator Noah Hawley confirms that he has an idea for season 4 of the acclaimed FX adaptation/continuation of the Coen brothers’ 1996 hit, but says time is definitely not on his side right now. Since season 3 ended, Hawley has been attached to a number of projects, including the second season of Legion, an adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle, a Doctor Doom film at 20th Century Fox, and the upcoming astronaut film Pale Blue Dot, starring Natalie Portman and Jon Hamm....

There was much disappointment back in June when the new Mac Pro‘s CPU – the 12-core Xeon E5-2697 – delivered a surprisingly low Geekbench score of 23,901. It had been widely expected to break 30,000. Some cautioned then that the score, based on a 32-bit build of Geekbench running on an early pre-release version of the CPU with a beta version of Mavericks, might not tell the whole story, and new tests by Tom’s Hardware on V2 of the chip appear to confirm this … While this is still some way short of Apple’s claimed ‘2x faster’, the claimed performance boost did show up in specific areas, like 3D modelling and optical character recognition....
