Director sues Apple for allegedly copying her movie with ‘Servant’
[ad_1] Gregorini further claimed that Shyamalan simply took her premise and put it through the “male lens,” with men looking down on a woman’s mental health issues and discussing the sex appeal of the nanny. Shyamalan, series creator Tony Basgallop and Apple ‘negated’ the experiences of Gregorini and other women involved in Emanuel (which had […]
Apple TV+ snags Spike Jonze’s documentary on the Beastie Boys
[ad_1] The documentary is a modest coup for Apple. Rivals have plenty of music docs, such as Beyoncé’s Homecoming on Netflix — Apple has a long way to go if TV+ is going to compete in terms of sheer numbers. An official Beastie Boys documentary is a big deal, though, and shows that Apple is […]
Stephen Colbert is producing an animated news spoof for CBS All Access
[ad_1] There are no details for casting or the premiere date at this stage, although The Late Show‘s Chris Licht will help Colbert executive produce. Some of the animation expertise comes from RJ Fried and Tim Luecke of Showtime’s Trump spoof Our Cartoon President. This is unusual for All Access, which has focused largely on […]
NBC may revive ‘Quantum Leap’ for its Peacock streaming service
[ad_1] We wouldn’t count on a possible show bringing back Scott Bakula or Dean Stockwell, at least not in their original roles. Bakula is tied up with NCIS: New Orleans, while Stockwell hasn’t acted in five years. It’s likelier that this would be a reboot or a sequel. You might find out more soon. NBC […]
‘Star Trek: Picard’ has already been renewed for a second season
[ad_1] As with Discovery, it’s easy to see why CBS would be so eager to renew the series. While All Access has an increasing diversity of shows, Star Trek arguably remains the highlight of the streaming service. A second season of Picard gives you an added reason to come back — and, of course, to […]
Sony’s 8K and OLED TVs adapt their sound to your room
[ad_1] The Z8H and X950H also boast a Sound-from-Picture-Reality feature that delivers directional sound based on what’s happening on screen. Don’t worry, there are visual upgrades. All of the TVs offer Triluminos Display to produce “more shades of red, green and blue” than before, while every set except for the X900H is running on a […]
Apple signs former HBO chief to a five-year deal
[ad_1] There’s no certainty that Plepler’s outfit will produce giant hits for Apple. While he led HBO through a 28-year tenure that includes the likes of Game of Thrones, Six Feet Under and The Sopranos, he wasn’t the artistic mastermind behind those shows. Even so, there’s little doubt that Plepler has mountains of experience in […]
This might be Samsung’s upcoming ‘zero bezel’ 8K TV
[ad_1] An earlier rumor had the bezel-free TV entering production in February. Pricing is still unknown as well, although the design might be limited to 65-inch or larger screens. There are questions as to the utility of this. Unless you’re really tight on space, you can probably live with the thin bezels on other modern […]
Samsung may unveil a true ‘zero bezel’ TV at CES 2020
[ad_1] The company hasn’t confirmed anything, and we’d take the claim with a grain of salt. However, there are reasons to believe this might be more than just speculation. On top of Samsung’s earlier work, the company trademarked the “Zero Bezel” brand name earlier in the year. Neither is a guarantee you’ll see something at […]
