That being said, we do know the movie will be based on an original pitch from Day, which promises to offer a fresh take on the series.We can’t say for sure what exactly that “fresh take” is going to look like. All we can really do is look at some of her…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Alien Whispers: Conflict and Communion? The inspiration is derived, of course, from the flow of the first two novels in the series, where the alien characters and their modus operandi were introduced. I have always loved science fiction and the infinite scenarios available to an author in the genre. We are only just beginning to understand the universe—there’s some way to go yet—and what we think we know is likely to change in the future. And the presence of aliens is a distinct possibility, whether interplanetary or interdimensional. Beyond…
HBO Max no longer has “whatever it takes” to revive a brand new version of WildBrain Studio’s award-winning youth franchise, Degrassi, as the reboot has reportedly been canceled, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Lara Azzopardi (The Bold Type, Mary Kills People) and Julia Cohen (Riverdale, A Million Little Things) were set as showrunners of the would-be reboot. “What excites us maybe the most about reviving this beloved franchise is turning it into a truly…
Campsite coding Deerpunk costumes, tacos delivered by drones and a game called “Beerocracy” featured at this year’s ToorCamp for hackers – it was a blast, writes Annalee Newitz Technology | Columnist 17 August 2022 By Annalee Newitz Annalee Newitz LIGHTS in every colour of the rainbow illuminated the forest. People wearing antlers on their heads wandered through a barrage of soap bubbles that released puffs of dry ice smoke as they popped.

By Natalie Michie Date November 8, 2022 Bretman Rock’s sense of style is quite simple: he doesn’t have one. Sure, the social media phenomenon attends runway shows, walks red carpets and appears on the cover of magazines. But when it comes down to it, his taste in fashion, like pretty much every other part of his identity, is impossible to categorize. And that makes it all the more fun. The Hawaii-based content creator, reality TV star,…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write State of One: A Virgil Jones Mystery Thriller? State of One is the 15th Virgil Jones Mystery-Thriller novel, and like all the other books in the series, it is but a chapter of a much larger over-arching storyline. The main protagonists, Detective Virgil Jones (along with his adopted brother, Murton Wheeler) are special investigators for the Major Crimes Unit, working for, and answering to, the governor of the state. Each book in the series is a stand-alone novel, of course, with a complete and satisfying ending. In other words,…
ABC has announced its plans for midseason, and there’s a big change on the horizon for The Rookie. The hit procedural is moving to Tuesdays at 8 p.m., beginning January 3. The move is huge because the series has spent the better part of its run on Sundays at 10 p.m. It has commanded strong numbers in delayed viewing since the beginning, so ABC will be hoping some of those viewers will watch it live in the earlier slot. The Rookie: Feds is moving to 9 p.m. on the night, meaning that we’ll have two hours of The Rookie universe…

The Huawei Band 7 looks to be the company’s direct competitor to the likes of the Fitbit Inspire 2, and packs a lot of tech into a very small, and very affordable product.It’s one of the best fitness trackers around right now, thanks to a combination of factors that belie its £49.99/$59.99 price tag (availability in the U.S. is through third-party sellers). It’s thin and light, but offers a bright, colorful OLED display that other cheaper bands simply cannot match.

Netflix has finally rolled out its first ad-tier subscription known as Basic with Ads, but the library has a few missing titles among its ranks. When the streamer announced the plan in October, there was a mention that certain series and films wouldn’t be available due to “licensing restrictions,” but it wasn’t clear what shows or movies would be among the casualties until now. While it would make sense for some fan-favorite shows to be excluded, it may surprise viewers to know that several Netflix original series aren’t available with this plan.

The specimens housed in the vertical farm unit there grew six times faster than using traditional outdoor planting…
