Production is set to begin at the end of the month on Transformers spinoff Bumblebee, with a start date on filming and possible working title for secrecy purposes being leaked on Wednesday. The first of possibly dozens of spinoffs in the Transformers franchise, the 1980s set Bumblebee will star The Edge of Seventeen’s Hailee Steinfeld and has recently rounded out its human cast with actors Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Abby Quinn, Rachel Crow, Ricardo Hoyos, Gracie Dzienny, and the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid star Jason Drucker....

It’s no secret that Apple chipmaker TSMC is years ahead of Intel, so it’s almost touching when Intel proudly announces that it expects to switch to TSMC’s 2019 chipmaking tech by 2025 … Background Apple last year announced a two-year plan to abandon Intel chips for Macs in favor of Apple Silicon. Intel’s response was first to suggest that it could make even better chips than the Cupertino company, and later to claim that it could even win back Mac business....

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Did you catch which character Chris Pine voices in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse? The film assembles an impressive cast of actors to voice a whole team of Spider-People from parallel universes, all of whom come together to stop Wilson Fisk from destroying the multiverse. The main protagonist is Mile Morales (Dope’s Shameik Moore), a Brooklyn teen who grew up admiring the Spider-Man who protects his Earth’s New York City....

One of Apple’s most important products is the $329 iPad. On the surface it seems uninteresting, almost boring. But it serves as a key entry point to the Apple ecosystem, and as a way to get iPad owners to upgrade every couple of years without having to spend an arm and a leg. It’s the best value Apple offers right now. The latest 9th-generation iPad is, in my opinion, one of the best products Apple makes....

In October, Google announced that they were going to eventually move their iOS apps away from Material Design and introduce more native-looking user interfaces. While we still haven’t gotten a glimpse at what some of the most used apps on the planet may look like built with native UIKit components, I thought it’d be cool to draw up some concepts and imagine what they might entail. Google introduced Material Design to its iOS apps shortly after they introduced Android Lollipop back in 201, but they’ve had shared user interface elements for a bit longer....

Syfy’s Deadly Class boasts an impressive cast of young adult actors and actresses, who’ve successfully brought to life fan-favorite characters from Rick Remender’s comic book series of the same name. Based the Image Comics graphic novel series, Deadly Class was created for television by Remender and Miles Orion Feldsott, and it’s being executive produced by Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame directing duo Anthony and Joe Russo. A pilot episode for the Deadly Class adaptation was ordered in late 2017, and then the show was given a full series order in spring 2018 - and it’s meant to be one of Syfy’s biggest debuts for 2019....

Netflix has unveiled the final character poster for its Death Note film, showcasing protagonist Light and hinting at his motivations. Like Ghost in the Shell before it, Netflix’s upcoming adaptation of the hit manga/anime Death Note has been surrounded by controversy. From changing the race of the characters to moving the story to America, there’s been an intense debate among fans as to whether the new movie can do the original films and manga series justice....

Destiny 2 cross save functionality will finally become a real thing, according to a new data leak just ahead of a major announcement for the game scheduled for tomorrow. Destiny 2 has been struggling to keep exciting new information under wraps, with the introduction of Season of Opulence also accidentally leaking the existence of a brand new expansion called Destiny 2 Shadowkeep. Destiny 2 has been pretty quiet as of late, with minor updates like new seasons and content being well-received but nevertheless fairly small in the grand scheme of all things Guardian....

Hot Toys has released images from their Avengers: Infinity War range, giving fans their best look at the film’s heroes and weapons to date. While all eyes are on the box office figures, in reality most superhero films make their money through merchandise. Avengers: Infinity War is sure to be one of the most effective Marvel films to date, with several of the key Avengers - including Iron Man, Black Widow, Spider-Man, and Steve Rogers - sporting distinctive new looks....

It has been an amazing year for superhero fans, with countless memorable moments on the big screen. This was the 10-year anniversary of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Marvel Studios celebrated it in style with no less than three blockbuster hits - and both Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War are Oscar contenders. Sony successfully launched their Spider-Man spinoffs, with the release of Venom and the animated Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse....

The Blu-Ray SteelBook cover for Black Panther features some stunning art. Marvel Studios is just a few days into Black Panther’s theatrical run, but already it is surpassing every single expectation. Its opening weekend shattered nearly every Marvel Cinematic Universe record. Thanks to the great word of mouth and the lack of high budget competition in its path, there shouldn’t be much that can slow down Chadwick Boseman’s solo movie....

Blade Runner 2049 has, against all the odds, made it to the big screen. But, before you head out for Denis Villeneuve’s epic, should you watch the original? The first Blade Runner was released in 1982 to a somewhat muted reception - reviews were mixed at best and it bombed at the box office - but in the 35 years since it’s graduated from underground cult curio to bonafide sci-fi classic....

Heisenberg is back as AMC’s Breaking Bad returns to screens in an official mobile game. It’s been over five years since fans saw Walter White’s blue meth empire come crashing down, but he’s now set for a comeback of sorts on Android and iOS. Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul became household names in Vince Gilligan’s gripping drama about a high school chemistry teacher (Cranston) and his bumbling sidekick (Paul) as they tried to become drug lords in the small pond of New Mexico....

Bumblebee writer Christina Hodson knows what a sequel would be about in the event it gets made. Few 2018 movies were as big a surprise as the Transformers spinoff, which received widespread critical praise for its emotional, heartfelt narrative reminiscent of the blockbusters of yesteryear. It’s far and away the best reviewed Transformers movie, even earning the Certified Fresh seal of approval by aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. Many fans felt Bumblebee was the Transformers film they wanted all along and would be eager to see more....

With Captain America: Civil War releasing to international audiences this past week, directors Joe and Anthony Russo have been on the press trail to promote the film’s US release this coming Friday. The sibling duo first broke into the business with episode credits on television comedies like Arrested Development and Community, and were on-boarded in what some might have considered a risky move to helm Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Needless to say, the pair blew critics out of the water, and will be taking on both Infinity War films over the next few years....

Charlie Day is known for his impeccable comedic timing and classic one-liners in the hit FX series, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. You can expect the same amount of laughter and knee-slapping moments in his upcoming feature Fist Fight. Screen Rant caught up with Charlie Day at the film’s L.A. press day to discuss his most memorable teacher story, creepy fan gifts, and the risk he took that changed the course of his life....

The 4-year-old son of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 star Chris Pratt apparently likes Spider-Man a lot better than Star-Lord. Although Pratt has built a solid reputation as an actor over the years on TV with Everwood, The O.C., and Parks and Recreation, he became a household name in 2014 with his irreverent take on the intergalactic outlaw anti-hero Star-Lord in the blockbuster MCU entry Guardians of the Galaxy. With his newfound fame, Pratt suddenly went from the big screen to toy shelves in the form of a Star-Lord action figure; but even that apparently hasn’t been enough to win over one of his closest fans....

While the world waits for Graham Yost and Timothy Olyphant to bring Raylan Givens back to TV following the cancelations of both Sneaky Pete and Santa Clarita Diet, Cinemax subscribers can get their fix by tuning in to Carla Gugino’s lively and stylish new crime series, Jett, which is remarkably reminiscent of the late author’s quirky, fast-talking style. Written and directed by Sebastian Gutierrez (Women in Trouble, Gothika), Jett follows the exploits of recently paroled career criminal Daisy “Jett” Kowalski as she takes on the proverbial “one last job,” kicking off a propulsive crime caper that would be right at home with the works of Quentin Tarantino and Steven Soderbergh....

WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Deadpool 2. Deadpool 2’s success prompted Warner Bros. to harken back to the failures of Green Lantern in hilarious fashion. As moviegoers may recall, Ryan Reynolds’ DC movie career got off to a less-than-stellar start in Warner Bros.’ first adaptation of Green Lantern in 2011, a critically panned, commercial dud. Reynolds still endured as a bankable star despite Green Lantern’s brutal $219 million gross on a $200 million budget, and has reached uproariously thrilling heights with 2016’s Deadpool....
