[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 […]

CBS All Access will stream ‘Twilight Zone’ in black and white
[ad_1] It’s not often that streaming services are willing to release new versions of their shows to cater to fans, but CBS All Access is willing to make an exception. It’s launching a black-and-white version of Jordan Peele’s The Twilight Zone on May 30th to cater to fans who wished the show harkened back to […]
HBO edited that coffee cup out of ‘Game of Thrones’
[ad_1] It’s a relatively easy edit, but it’s surprising that the production team didn’t catch the gaffe before the episode aired for a gigantic audience. That’s especially true when this isn’t the first time HBO has needed to do this. The company erased two members of the film crew from a Westworld scene in 2018 […]
Netflix cancels ‘Santa Clarita Diet’ after three seasons
[ad_1] The company has let some of its comedies run for longer, such as Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (four seasons), Fuller House (ending after five seasons) and Grace and Frankie (renewed for a sixth season). Whatever the reasons, the cancellation fits a pattern of Netflix aggressively trimming shows as of late. It hasn’t really explained why, […]
Airbnb may create original shows to spark the travel bug
[ad_1] We’ve asked Airbnb if it can comment, although it recently acknowledged that it produced a documentary, Gay Chorus Deep South, that will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. It’s also involved in a documentary series for Apple TV+, Home. Policy and comms executive Chris Lehane added that the company is considering streaming movies and […]
Sony’s 98-inch 8K TV will cost a staggering $70,000
[ad_1] Mercifully, there are more affordable sets if you’re willing to ‘settle’ for 4K. The Master Series A9G OLED line is priced higher than last year’s A8F models with a starting price of $3,500 for the 55-inch version and a peak price of $8,000 for the 77-inch edition. While that’s still expensive, you are getting […]
Netflix will invest up to $100 million in a NYC production hub
[ad_1] The sound stages will also have the capacity for “thousands” of jobs, Cuomo said, although that’s likely to vary widely based on what’s in production at any given time. Not surprisingly, there are financial incentives attached to the move. The state is offering up to $4 million in tax credits over 10 years, although […]
The ‘Halo’ TV series has found its Master Chief
[ad_1] The series will also star newcomer Yerin Ha as Quan Ah, a teen from the colonies who meets Master Chief at a “fateful time.” The show will be run and executive produced by Steven Kane (of The Last Ship fame) and Kyle Killen (of Awake), which hints at its scale — Showtime considers this […]
Amazon’s ‘The Boys’ has Karl Urban fighting superheroes gone bad
[ad_1] The eight-episode season premieres on July 26th. It’s too soon to say if this superhero takedown will succeed, but the ingredients are there for a possible hit. The series also features stars like Simon Pegg and Elisabeth Shue, and it’s created by Supernatural‘s Eric Kripke with the help of producers Seth Rogen and Evan […]
DC Universe scales back ‘Swamp Thing’ over ‘creative differences’
[ad_1] This doesn’t preclude a second season, but it’s not great news at a time when DCU only has a handful of shows in development and still relies heavily on its back catalog of videos and comic books to attract subscribers. The more there is to watch, the less likely it is that members might […]
