We just wanted to share this lovely Temuera Morrison moment with you. Morrison, who brought character Jango Fett to life in “Star Wars: Episode II- Attack of the Clones,” came back to the galaxy far, far away as Boba Fett in season 2 of “The Mandalorian.” The official Star Wars accounts were kind enough to add some photos of a pretty awesome gift Morrison received recently. An absolutely beautiful wooden Boba Fett Mandalorian helmet, done in traditional Māori style. The helmet was designed and created by fellow New Zealander Mr G Hoete Art.All photos by Elevate Media, via Star Wars:…

During this big ol Paramount+ news day, turns out that “Star Trek 4” ISN’T DEAD.

Apparently Paramount+ decided to host a news day today! Kicking things off was the announcement that ViacomCBS titles will all be headed to Paramount+ streaming service. This will also include Paramount Pictures films, like the remaining “Mission: Impossible” titles once they leave theaters. “Halo” got an early season 2 renewal. There was also news that the next “Transformers” title, “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” will kick off a new trilogy of films. “Sonic the Hedgehog,” who’s sequel live-action film hits this April, will be getting a spinoff tv series centering on character Knuckles.

This just in- Paramount+ has officially ordered a second season of their live-action “Halo” series.

One of the big questions going into Denis Villuneve’s “Dune” was where the break in part one would be. Would we meet certain members of the Atreides family by the time the credits rolled? What about key characters from the Harkonnen? Or even the Imperial Family? As we know, the end point for “Dune Part One” was….strange. Certainly setting the stage for Paul Muad’Dib’s rather Lawrence of Arabian journey. But also just a weird place to pause. Villeneuve recently spoke with Empire Magazine about where “Dune Part Two” is as far as production. And, even mentioned we’d definitely be getting…

Chip and Dale, as well as the rest of the Rescue Rangers, are back! Disney+ is making a big deal of calling this “live-action” (think Favreau’s Lion King) film a return rather than reboot. John Mulaney and Andy Samberg voice the chipmunk detectives, and are joined by KiKi Layne, Will Arnett, Eric Bana, Flula Borg, Dennis Haysbert, Keegan-Michael Key, Tress MacNeille, Tim Robinson, Seth Rogen, J.K. Simmons, and Chris Parnell. The film is directed by Akiva Schaffer (“Saturday Night Live”), written by Dan Gregor and Doug Mand (“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”) and is produced by Todd Lieberman (“Wonder”) and David Hoberman (“Beauty…

This just in-it would appear the rights to ever popular game franchise “Bioshock” have landed at Netflix. This comes after years of possible projects being started but never completed. At one point, “Pirates of the Caribbean” director Gore Verbinski was developing a movie for Universal Pictures. Obviously that one never happened.

Reports indicate this deal was being worked on for over a year.We’ll let you know what else we hear about this and other news.
