If you’ve seen any television series or movie with action sequences, you’ve likely seen David Leitch, or at least his handiwork without even knowing it. Leitch exploded into the Hollywood spotlight in recent years thanks to the award-winning work of 87eleven, the stunt design company from him and partner Chad Stahelski - the pair directed and launched the John Wick franchise. Leitch then went on to solo direct Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw which brings us to our latest interview with him....

Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for Titans, season 2, episode 10, “Fallen.” Titans season 2, episode 10, “Fallen” has provided an entirely new origin for the Nightwing codename, which Dick Grayson adopted after retiring as Robin in the comics. While Dick Grayson abandoned the Robin name and burned his costume during the first season of Titans, he has yet to adopt a new identity despite mentoring a new generation of Titans in the new season....

Deadpool was inarguably one of the biggest genuine surprises and successes of the year in 2016, and because of that, there’s been an understandably high amount of attention being paid to the sequel’s creative development process so far. Whether it be which characters will or will not be introduced in it, or even Tim Miller’s highly talked about departure from the film, it seems like the questions about Deadpool 2 haven’t stopped since the film was first announced....

[tweet https://twitter.com/#!/up2secapple/status/202068480105775105] Update May 16, 2012: German publication Handelsblatt (via Bloomberg) quoted Chief Executive Officer Oliver Seidl of German TV manufacturer Loewe as saying the company has had “no contact” with Apple regarding an acquisition. Less than a month after posting a false claim about Apple’s CEO Tim Cook visiting the Valve HQ, ole’ Danny Dilger claimed this weekend that Apple is moving to acquire a German TV manufacturer called “Loewe....

In response to a Bloomberg Businessweek story alleging Apple discovered Chinese spy chips in its servers, The Department of Homeland Security has issued a statement in which it sides with Apple. The DHS says it currently has “no reason to doubt” Apple’s denial. The Businessweek story was originally published on Thursday, and Apple immediately followed it up with a strong statement in which it denied the allegations. Apple’s denial of the story has been uncharacteristic for the company....

One of Netflix’s newest original movies, Dead Kids, is the platform’s first original release from the Philippines and centers around a fictionalized account of a real kidnapping that occurred in 2018. Dead Kids follows a group of outcast teenagers, ‘Dead Kids’, who conspire together to commit a kidnapping, hopeful that a large ransom for the crime will aid both their financial and social standing. The film’s director, Mikhail Red, is internationally known for his other films, Birdshot, Eerie, and Neomanila....

We’ve already seen how ARKit is helping developers create some impressive augmented reality apps, from virtual tape measures and navigation to fun things like games. But it’s looking increasingly like we might see film-makers employing the technology to blend virtual characters with real ones. We got a taste of this recently with a demo app replicating an 80s music video, and now indie game developer Duncan Walker has put somewhat frighteningly realistic robot soldiers onto the streets of London …...

Among the numerous surprises in the Arrowerse’s Crisis On Infinite Earths, it’s safe to say no one expected the debut of a Golden Age DC Comics character: Sargon the Sorcerer (Raúl Herrera). Part 5 of Crisis took place on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and, in keeping with the Arrowverse’s weirdest and most exuberant show, the climactic chapter packed in some zany moments even as the superheroes waged their final battle against the Anti-Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) to save the rebirthed Multiverse....

Tom Welling is back as Superman for this year’s Arrowverse crossover, Crisis on Infinite Earths, which means fans can finally get the Smallville ending they’ve always wanted. In the Smallville series finale, Clark Kent finally learned how to fly and succeeded in fulfilling his destiny in becoming Superman. The episode provided a brief glimpse at Smallville’s Clark in costume as Superman for the first time ever - but with CGI. It was supposed to be the moment that fans had waited ten seasons for, but for a great many, it failed to live up to expectations....

In 2007, The Big Bang Theory, the brainchild of Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, started airing on CBS and poked fun at nerd life as we know it. Viewers met the upright, Star Trek-loving Sheldon Cooper and the wannabe ladies’ man Leonard Hofstadter, who lived together across the hall from the charming Penny. Slowly, their worlds began to collide, and all their friends from Raj to Howard to Bernadette grew up into fine adults....

It has been nearly 25 years since Babylon 5 first aired and the series still boasts a devout fandom unlike any other. This seems appropriate, however, as Babylon 5 itself has defied convention since it first aired on the fledgling Prime Time Entertainment Network on February 22, 1993. Set in the not-too-distant future of 2258, the series focused upon the titular space-station and the crew of soldiers and diplomats who oversaw its management....

According to The Sprout Social Index™, brands’ top use cases for social data include sales strategy, product development and content strategy. But without the right context, social and bottom-line business metrics exist in a state of disconnect. To bridge this gap, we need stories. What is data storytelling? Data storytelling is the art of translating raw data into a holistic narrative that describes the impact data has on an organization....

The latest trailer for X-Men: Dark Phoenix seems to contain a joking nod to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as the recent acquisition of 20th Century Fox by The Walt Disney Company. While the apparent joke could be a coincidence, it’s also so prominently featured in the Dark Phoenix trailer that it can’t help but seem like an intentional provocation. Rumors regarding the final X-Men film to be produced by 20th Century Fox have run rampant ever since Disney began the process of taking over the company in November 2017....

With the recently announced Dark Universe on the way, the DCEU is continuing its foray into its characteristically darker side. There’s little doubt that the human sorcerer John Constantine will make an impact on the film, likely serving as the face of the Justice League Dark franchise, but the Hellblazer has long been igniting fans with his tricky cons and charismatic, foul-mouthed attitude. Despite serving as an occult hero for nearly three decades, the adrenaline-addicted bloke has only recently made a return to the screen thanks to the short-lived NBC series featuring the witty Matt Ryan....

The DC Universe app is rolling out on the Xbox One through April. Last year, DC launched their brand new streaming service.

Over the last month, it’s become clear that DC is thoroughly invested in continuing to improve their service. The digital comics have always been a particular highlight, and at WonderCon DC revealed their entire library would shortly be available on DC Universe....
