Disney+ may become home to a new ‘Star Wars’ series with Ewan McGregor

[ad_1] Unfortunately, details are scarce at this point — the show doesn’t have a title yet, and its story remains a mystery. Variety says a standalone Obi-Wan film had been in talks for years, but it was put on hold after Solo’s disappointing performance. While Disney has yet to confirm the report, company chief Bob […]

Things that shouldn’t cost this much

[ad_1] For when you need to justify spending $6,000 on an Apple Pro Display XDR and its stand. That’s a lot of money for Netflix to spend and a significant talent loss for HBO. But on the bright side, this deal does mean that Confederate is officially cancelled. But what if, and hear me out, […]

A ‘Home Alone’ reboot is coming to Disney+

[ad_1] It’s not clear yet what these reboots will look like — Iger only said that they would be “reimagined” for a “new generation” — nor have any timelines been hinted at. We do know, however, that the four franchises join a growing library of content yet to be “reimagined,” including Lady and the Tramp, […]

Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu for $12.99

[ad_1] The launch of Disney+ is now 97 days out, and according to CEO Bob Iger, “nothing is more important” than getting the launch a direct-to-consumer offering right. While Disney blamed its Fox purchase for not meeting certain expectations, content like The Simpsons — and control of Hulu — that came as part of the […]

Facebook might bring major streaming services to its Portal for TVs

Facebook reportedly sees the streaming services as an additional selling point for the camera — its main intended purpose is for video calls through Messenger and WhatsApp. The system is also […]

Marvel unveils its roadmap for Disney+ shows

[ad_1] The first out of the gate, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, will have Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan reprising the roles of their signature characters in fall 2020. They’ll both square off against the returning Captain America: Civil War villain Baron Zemo (played by Daniel Brühl) and learn to fill their new roles […]

Jon Favreau is already working on season two of ‘The Mandalorian’

[ad_1] The move isn’t completely shocking. The Mandalorian is a tentpole show for Disney+, and may have to carry the streaming service until Disney fleshes out its catalog of originals — so long as the first season held promise, a second was a reasonably safe bet. Nonetheless, it’s a good sign for anyone worried that […]

Disney expects a third live-action ‘Star Wars’ series by 2022

[ad_1] A third show could make Disney+ particularly Star Wars-centric in its early days, and suggests that Disney’s talk of slowing down the pace of releases only really applies to theaters. It’s not shocking that Disney might go this route, though. Much like CBS’ approach to Star Trek, Disney is determined to attract early subscribers […]

Ron Howard and George Lucas might reboot ‘Willow’ as series for Disney+

[ad_1] The original story follows a farmer who protects a special baby from a tyrannical queen set on taking over the world. Lucas developed the idea in the early 70s, and later asked Howard to direct it. The film wasn’t necessarily a blockbuster, but it did win two Academy Award nominations and attracted a loyal […]
