Ike Barinholtz has joined the cast of Blumhouse and writer Damon Lindelof’s thriller, The Hunt. Blumhouse founder Jason Blum now has popular spooky franchises like Insidious, Paranormal Activity, and The Purge under his belt, in addition to (for the time being) one-off hits like Get Out. However, his resume extends beyond horror to Oscar-winning films that blend genres, like Damien Chazelle’s Whiplash and, most recently, Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman. Blum already has a handful of similarly subversive offerings in the pipeline, including Fantasy Island and The Hunt....

Many BMW owners have been unable to access CarPlay in their vehicle for the past several days, according to several reports on Reddit. This CarPlay downtime is seemingly related to BMW’s ConnectedDrive service suffering from outage – and further shows the risk associated with locking these features behind paid options and subscriptions. What seems to be happening is that because of the ConnectedDrive outage, cars are unable to confirm that users have paid for the CarPlay option in their vehicle....

The Big Bang Theory’s finale had a fun callback to its first episode 12 years ago, via Penny’s (Kaley Cuoco) wardrobe. CBS’ long-running sitcom finally bowed out with an one-long special send-off that resolved a couple of the lingering plots of the series, including Amy (Mayim Bialik) and Sheldon’s (Jim Parsons) bid for the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on Super Asymmetry. The elevator was also finally fixed after more than a decade of the gang going up and down four flights of stairs....

Big Brother’s Isabella Wang wants to fix her relationship with Kemi Fakunle, saying she regrets being so reactive and wants to have a conversation with her former castmate. Now that Isabella has been evicted, she wants to prove that all of the drama that happened on the show is all water under the bridge now. Isabella had a rocky stay in the Big Brother house, forming and breaking friendships and alliances almost as quickly as she made them....

Italian filmmaker Ruggero Deodato’s 1980 horror/exploitation movie Cannibal Holocaust is the first proper found-footage movie, as far as most film historians are concerned. Still, there’s no denying that it was 1999’s The Blair Witch Project that catapulted the genre and its techniques into becoming something that your everyday moviegoer would be familiar with and recognize as, well, an actual genre (complete with its own narrative and character tropes) instead of just a stylistic flourish used to make a movie seem more “realistic”....

Fans of IGA’s formative side-scrolling series Castlevania are in for a treat with the retro throwback Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, originally planned as a stretch goal reward for the close-to-release Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. While IGA’s Kickstarter blew the doors off with a $5.5 million pledge peak, a late-stage stretch goal spoke to a planned “Prequel mini-game for PC/Consoles.” “Mini-game” might be a misnomer, though; this is an old-school Castlevania-length pixelated action-platformer with considerable depth....

Apple is developing some major improvements for the iPad home screen as part of the next major operating system, iOS and iPadOS 15, according to a new report by Mark Gurman for Bloomberg. This will include adding widgets to the iPad’s home screen, just like iOS 14 enabled widgets on the iPhone home screen. The report calls this the biggest change to the iPad home screen ever. iPhone users will benefit from an ‘updated’ lock screen UI....

Following new details on the 2021 MacBook Pro refresh, Bloomberg now reports that Apple is also planning to release its first redesign of the iMac since 2012 later this year, as well as a lower-priced external monitor. There is also a new Mac Pro lineup in the works, the report says. Bloomberg describes the new iMac as having smaller bezels with a design similar to the Pro Display XDR. This will include removing the “chin area” from the bottom, as well as a flat back rather than the current curved design....

A trailer for Bombshell, director Jay Roach’s film about the Roger Ailes/Fox News scandal, is officially released online. Featuring an all-star cast that includes Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, and Margot Robbie, Bombshell was originally set up at Annapurna Pictures before the studio had to drop it due their mounting financial struggles. Despite that, Roach and company completed the film, which is set for release in December 2019. With the 2020 Oscar race coming into clearer focus, Bombshell remains one of the greater unknowns....

Billie Eilish’s theme for Bond 25, No Time To Die, will finally drop tomorrow. Original theme music has been a staple of the James Bond movies throughout their entire run. Traditionally, the original song plays during the highly-stylized, opening credits. The songs serve to help set the mood for the movie. It has been considered to be an honor for the musicians given the chance to perform the Bond theme....

The Big Bang Theory is still on its extended Thanksgiving break, but when it returns, it will roll out its crossover episode with Young Sheldon. Announced last month, the special event will bring Iain Armitage (young Sheldon), Montana Jordan (young Georgie) and Lance Barber (George Sr.) to the long-running sitcom. Admittedly, the crossover announcement was met with a divisive reaction, especially from The Big Bang Theory fans who have pointed out that with a limited number of episodes left, the show shouldn’t allot more outings on Sheldon’s (Jim Parsons) story when the rest of the characters still have their own respective unresolved story arcs....

Things are going to get awkward this October, as the new trailer for Big Mouth season 3 delivers a premiere date along with the show’s acclaimed pubescent laughs. The Emmy-nominated adult animation series from Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Jennifer Flackett, and Mark Levin is set to return to the most confusing time in everyone’s lives (except tax season, perhaps), following the misadventures of a group of teens as they go through all the embarrassing, infuriating, and sometimes enlightening aspects of puberty, guided by their respective hormone monsters Maury and Connie....

William Sadler will return as Death in the long-awaited sequel Bill & Ted Face the Music, the production has confirmed. Released in 1989, the original Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure charted the exploits of a pair of California slackers (Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter) who, in order to secure their destiny as world-saving rock-and-rollers, traveled back in time to kidnap various historical figures to help them craft the ultimate high school history paper....

With Birds of Prey starting its marketing campaign with the official poster and trailer having just been released, fans are speculating as to what this fun film could add to the wider DCEU. It appears, based on the inclusion of one Harley Quinn, that the film will continue to be in the same continuity as the other DC movies. This has its benefits and drawbacks as Birds of Prey could both add to the DCEU and diminish it in some way....

Hosea Chanchez will play Shakedown in Black Lightning season 2 as he’s been cast in the recurring role of Marcus Bishop. Black Lightning returned to The CW this past week after a mid-season break. Black Lightning joined The CW’s considerably packed DC Comics TV line-up early last year, earning widespread critical acclaim for its take on superheroes. Starring Cress Williams as Jefferson Pierce, the patriarch of a family and a superhero, Black Lightning follows his adventures, as well as those of his two daughters....

Update: The Black Panther Challenge has now raised over $400,000. Hundreds of crowdfunding campaigns, started by people from around the world, have amassed over $300,000 in donations so local children can see Marvel’s Black Panther in theaters. Getting a Black Panther movie onto the big screen has been a long and arduous journey for many people. Columbia Pictures attempted their own adaptation in the 1990s but they just couldn’t seem to make it work for everyone involved, particularly Wesley Snipes (who was tapped to play T’Challa) and Stan Lee, who wouldn’t sign off on a script....
