Why exactly did Walter White quit his job at Gray Matter Technologies in Breaking Bad? The main character’s previous career was mentioned multiple times through the show’s five-season run. However, Breaking Bad’s creator Vince Gilligan didn’t reveal an explanation to why Walt left his job until years after the show ended. Gray Matter Technologies was a company that Walt co-founded with Elliot Schwartz prior to the events of Breaking Bad. Both of the men’s last names inspired the company’s name: “Schwartz” means “black” in German and, when it’s mixed with the color white (Walt’s last name), it creates the color gray....

CBS’s Cagney & Lacey reboot has cast its new leads in Sarah Drew and Michelle Hurd. In an age where shows like Roseanne and The X-Files are returning to fan acclaim, CBS is getting in on the game, riding the wave of television reboots with Magnum P.I and Cagney & Lacey. The former has found its star and a director for its pilot, with CBS turning its eye to Cagney & Lacey, the second pilot order from the network....

Video games have long attempted to appropriate the prestige of a Hollywood motion picture, and no franchise has tried harder at this than Call of Duty. Nearly every installment of the series has featured celebrity voice actors. Whether they’ve drafted Hans Zimmer (The Dark Knight, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2) to create a rousing soundtrack, or injected Kevin Spacey’s (House of Cards, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare) eerie likeness, it seems like the appeal of having a Hollywood name on their product is too enticing to pass up....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3 is now in full swing, with several new characters successfully being introduced this year. Black Panther and Spider-Man were scene stealers in May’s Captain America: Civil War, while Dr. Stephen Strange led his own vehicle to much critical acclaim and box office revenue. This trio’s arrival into the MCU is only the tip of the iceberg, however, since more additions will be joining the franchise in the near future....

Marvel Studios will finally show how Nick Fury lost his eye in Captain Marvel. Samuel L. Jackson made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe during the post-credits scene of Iron Man in 2008, but he was already the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. at that time. In just a few months, audiences will get to see a completely different side of the eye-patch wearing leader via his younger self. Captain Marvel takes place in 1995, and is allowing Marvel to use their prominent deaging technology on Jackson to play a version of Nick Fury that’s still largely stuck at his desk....

C.S. Lewis’ beloved childhood series, The Chronicles of Narnia, had a strong start in Hollywood. Disney released the original film, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe in 2005 and its sequel, Prince Caspian in before Fox took over with Voyage of the Dawn Treader in 2010.

The console wars have been going on for as long as gaming has been around. Systems have long inspired a fervent loyalty among players and the wars first sparked in a relatively simpler era, when the conversation focused on which system provided the better games. It’s always been a part of the gaming community, and as the industry has grown and games have gotten more complex, so too has the discussion....

Making her debut in the comic books in the 1990s, mercenary extraordinaire Domino became a very popular member of the X-Force, soon to be seen in Deadpool 2. Joining the team of Cable and crew, she accompanied her teammates on various missions that always put her life in danger. Given her innate ability to avoid risk, bullets, and other harmful actions, she threw herself into the middle of the action without a second thought....

Aleksander Grondal, the executive producer at DICE, wishes that the developer had been wise enough to include women in Battlefield 1. His statement comes after the studio faced a silly amount of backlash for finally including women in the Battlefield series later, in the upcoming Battlefield 5. Battlefield 5 will be releasing in October of this year, and has faced a fair amount of criticism surrounding its decision to include a female protagonist....

Disney has announced a new project for their upcoming digital streaming service - a television series based on the movie High Fidelity. The series will have a twist, however, centering upon a female protagonist, while still maintaining the romantic comedy tone of the original movie. Based on the novel of the same name by Nick Hornby, High Fidelity tells the story of Rob Gordon - a devout music fan and record-shop owner, who is played by John Cusack....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is undoubtedly one of the biggest franchises in the film industry today, but not all of their installments are created equal. As one would expect, some of their characters are more popular than others; Iron Man is inherently going to bring in more than Ant-Man. It’s for this reason that it’s interesting each time the studio introduces a new face to the already substantial roster of Avengers....

Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul reveal what they were teasing with their recent mysterious social media posts, and turns out it was not a new TV or movie project as fans were hoping. Cranston and Paul will of course be forever linked thanks to their work together as meth cooking reluctant partners Walter White and Jesse Pinkman on AMC’s acclaimed drama. Though Breaking Bad ended six years ago with Walter White dead, fans continue holding out hope that somehow Cranston and Paul might be reunited as their iconic TV characters....

The Call of the Wild is another notable box office bomb for Disney, failing to find the same kind of success other dog films have in recent years. Debuting in theaters in late February, The Call of the Wild is Disney’s latest release under the 20th Century Studios label. It was one of the projects the Mouse House inherited from Fox when they officially acquired 20th Century Fox’s entertainment assets last year....

Star Wars sequel trilogy actor Adam Driver has shared a piece of advice his onscreen mother, Carrie Fisher, shared with him as promotion for The Force Awakens revved up at San Diego Comic-Con 2015. Prior to joining the galaxy far, far away, Driver was best known for his role in the TV series Girls and smaller, dramatic films such as J. Edgar and Lincoln. Making the leap to massive tentpole fare was quite a change-of-pace for the actor’s career, especially considering Episode VII was perhaps the most anticipated movie of all-time....

Universal shared a behind-the-scenes video for Tom Hooper’s upcoming film adaptation of the broadway musical Cats that also teases a trailer release for this Friday. Universal, alongside production company Working Title, teamed up to bring this adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s long-running and wildly-successful Broadway musical to the big screen, and not long after it was announced, it filled out with an all-star cast as well. Taylor Swift was one of the first announced for the film, with Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Ian McKellen, Jason Derulo, Rebel Wilson, and Judi Dench following suit in playing key roles alongside Swift....

The Coalition for App Fairness (CAF) – which is primarily a voice for Epic Games, Spotify, and Tinder parent company Match in their antitrust fight with Apple over App Store commissions – has lost a second key figure. In December of last year, Spotify’s legal officer Horacio Gutierrez left the company to join Disney. Today we’re learning that CAF executive director Meghan DiMuzio is also moving on … Background CAF was formed back in 2020 by a small group of companies, led by Epic Games, Spotify, and Tile – each of which was battling with Apple at the time....

The success of Back to the Future stands as a testament to the perseverance of creators Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale. Gale first hit upon the idea for the movie after coming across his father’s old high school year book. He began to wonder whether he would have been friends with his dad had they been at school at the same time. Together with Zemeckis, the pair quickly set about creating a moment of movie history with the script for what would go on to be the highest grossing movie of 1985....

Domhnall Gleeson has been added to the already prolific cast of DC and Vertigo’s upcoming film The Kitchen. The Star Wars and Harry Potter star joins Melissa McCarthy, Elisabeth Moss, Tiffany Haddish, and Margo Martindale in the film. Though based on a DC/Vertigo comic book, The Kitchen will definitely not be taking place anywhere near the DCU. The film is set in Hell’s Kitchen, New York circa the 1970s and tells the story of a group of women married into the Irish mafia....
