Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes’ upcoming biopic film(s) about The Beatles isn’t due to hit theaters til next year, but excitement is high. Perhaps that has to do with the high-profile nature of the subject matter, or maybe it’s the casting of four of the hottest young actors. Paul Mescal (“Hamnet,” “Gladiator II”) plays Paul McCarney, Barry Keoghan (“Saltburn,” “Banshees of Inisherin”) plays Ringo Starr, Joseph Quinn (“Fantastic Four”) plays George Harrison, and Harris Dickinson (“Babygirl,” “The Iron Claw”) plays John Lennon.

We are so excited to see this wonderfully original series returning for a second season! When a single show can restore your faith in humanity, albeit briefly, you want another season. Thankfully, Prime Video’s “Jury Duty” has more in store with a new story and season. “Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat” will follow the basics of the first season. A group of people performing duties, in this case, a fictional company during a retreat, while one central person doesn’t know it’s all fake. It’s really hard to explain how beautiful the first season is, how charming and heartfelt and hilarious…

This just in- fantasy author and giant in the literary world Brandon Sanderson just finished a HUGE deal with Apple for his “Cosmere” universe. Reportedly, Apple is looking to adapt “Mistborn” as a film (or films), and “The Stormlight Archives” for series. Update Sanderson took to the Cosmere reddit to comment on the happenings himself: “The decision to pick Apple was due to two factors. First, the level of approvals and control.

We are SO EXCITED to share the first look at the upcoming reboot of “Highlander!!” These two images come directly from star Henry Cavill, who is such a great choice to play Duncan MacLeod. You might recall the former “Superman” and “The Witcher” star was injured on set last year, causing a delay in production start. Judging from the photos, cameras are absolutely rolling, and we can’t wait to see what else gets released in the coming weeks and months. Chad Stahelski will direct. We’re still really hoping he’ll bring in Emmy winner Bear McCreary to handle the score. Cavill stars…

As rumored across the internet, the change in weekly episode rollout (day of the week and time) was being pointed to as the culprit for the series not having as strong of viewership as it did in season 1. Obviously Prime Video, like Netflix, won’t release how they collect those numbers. But, an announcement this morning about the final two episodes of the season mostly confirms the theory. Episodes 7 and 8…
