My favorite Christmas movie of all time is Home Alone, so news of it being rebooted instantly sent a jolt through my body -- with the new Home Alone reboot coming together for Disney+ in the near future.

Variety is now reporting that the upcoming Home Alone reboot has its first stars announced, with Archie Yates, Ellie Kemper and Rob Delaney reportedly set to star in the 1990s smash hit that propelled Macaulay Culkin to mega stardom. We should expect the story line to be virtually identical, and I'm sure watered down from the mayhem Kevin McCallister creates for the Wet Bandits in the original Home Alone.

Archie Yates will star in what will be the 'new' Kevin McCallister role, AKA the kid left Home Alone. Ellie Kemper is known for her role in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, while Catastrophe's Rob Delaney will also star -- we should expect these two to be the "baddies", and I'm sure will not be able to replace the dynamic duo of Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern from the original. We should expect all-new characters, and not the wet bandits from the original Home Alone.

If you've been watching all the episodes of the newest season of Rick and Morty, you'd remember back to episode two about Rick and his toilet. Well, now you too can grab yourself Rick's toilet, and for 50% off as well.

In the above Tweet from "Just_Monkika13" and retweeted by the official Rick and Morty Twitter page, we can see Spencers is doing a sale of Rick's toilet from Rick and Morty. Funnily enough, this toilet is 50% off as well and if you zoom into the sign it says, "buy one get one 50% off".

If there are any shy-poopers out there that would love to have the same toilet design as what Rick did from episode two, then head down to Spencers. If you haven't seen the latest episode of Rick and Morty season 4, the beginning of episode 4 can be viewed here. After you have watched episode 4 you can check out a list of top ten references you may have missed here.

Netflix is proud to announce that their recently released movie directed by Martin Scorsese, 'The Irishman' has reached over 20 million accounts already.

Netflix revealed this news via a Tweet from their Netflix Film account. According to the Tweet, Martin Scorsese's 'The Irishman' was watched by 26,404,081 accounts globally just within its first seven days on Netflix. Netflix certainly wants to be bragging about this, considering the streaming platform threw $200 million dollars at the production of the movie.

Since its release, The Irishman has already received five Golden Globe nominations and is no doubt lined up to receive some sort of Oscar nomination as well. Netflix said to Deadline that the movie is expected to reach around 40 million accounts by its first 28 days of release. For those wondering what the requirements are for the movie to be counted as 'watched' -- a user must have sat through at least 70% of the film.

The official teaser for Rick and Morty Season 4 Episode 5 has dropped, Rick tells Morty to get back in the car and for a good reason.

Right after Sunday's episode, Adult Swim is already teasing fans with episode 5, the last episode before the break for the holidays. In this episode it Rick gets a flat tire and needs to pull over into 'everything' and make some repairs. Morty decides he wants to explore and puts on a spacesuit and follows Rick out the craft, saying, "I'm not in danger, there's nothing out here".

Rick then corrects Morty's assumption and says, "Literally everything is out here, and unlike everywhere else I'm too busy to help you." A space snake then comes out of nowhere to bite Morty in the ankle, and Rick then demands he gets back into the car after reminding a confused Morty that there's "literally everything in space!." Even space snakes in suits. Rick and Morty Season 4 Episode 5 will be aired this Sunday at 11:30 pm.

WB debuted the bombastic first trailer to Wonder Woman 1984 just days ago, with its 80s infused look and our second entry into the world of Amazonian Diana Prince, due out in 2020 -- but we're now hearing about Wonder Woman 3 way ahead of schedule.

Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 1984 director Patty Jenkins revealed during the Comic Con Experience in Sao Paulo that she and Wonder Woman herself Gal Gadot have a story outlined for Wonder Woman 3. Not only that, but the duo teased a spinoff that would be based on the Amazons, which would be a huge deal for WB.

Jenkins said: "We actually already know the whole story to it. It's just a matter of, will we change our minds, and when [to make it]. I think what we don't want to do is do it back to back. It's been great doing these two movies back to back, but I think it's important to give it a little rest in between. And I like doing other things in between. And Gal has other things to do. I never want to make decisions too far in advance. We have to see if we both feel like making the movie we think we want to make when the moment comes".

Episode four of Rick and Morty has just wrapped up, and what better way to enjoy the episode all over again than jumping into some Easter eggs you may or may not have missed?

Before we list off the best Easter eggs from episode 4, a huge spoiler warning to anyone who hasn't seen the episode yet. Continuing to read this post beyond this point will most certainly spoil the episode for you. If you want to catch up with the news about the fourth episode, the beginning of it was released here and a teaser was released here.

Moving on, the top 10 Easter eggs for this week's episode come from Emergency Awesome, who has done an absolutely fantastic job compiling everything we might have missed into a short 12-minute video. In the entirety of this post, you will find the top 10 Easter eggs listed in order.

The fourth episode of season four of Rick and Morty just aired and to celebrate the return of the crazy show we have some screenshots to look at.

Now, before I jump into the events of the fourth episode, please beware that these images are spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen the full episode yet. View at your own risk. Before the episode dropped, Adult Swim were teasing fans with the release of the beginning of the episode (found here), and also a hint that episode four would feature Morty somehow getting a dragon.

In the screenshots provided in the entirety of this article we can see some of the most important/funniest parts of the episode. First off, Rick actually gets Morty a dragon to keep. Next, Rick denounces that dragons are cool in anyway and then proceeds to get absolutely smashed drunk with it. Rick then soul bonds to Morty's dragon, right in front of Morty. Jerry's randomly talking cat makes it to Florida, gets aboard a yacht and then gets a rude awakening.

After yesterday's tease by Wonder Woman actor, Gal Gadot, we have the first official full trailer for Wonder Woman 1984.

The trailer was revealed at Brazil's CCXP convention and showed off our first good look at the Wonder Woman sequel. Wonder Woman 1984 will take fans back to the 1980s where Wonder Woman we face off against two all-new foes, Max Lord and The Cheetah.

The movie will see the return of Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, as well as a great representation of how colorful and vibrant the 1980s was. Wonder Woman 1984 is directed by Patty Jenkins, who said, "You know what was cool, we're treating the era differently than I've seen so far, which I feel like there have a lot of interesting versions of doing the era. In our version, as a child of the '8os myself, yes there was funny, ha-ha outfits I can't believe I wore, for sure."

We have been hearing about Ryan Reynolds' upcoming movie 'Free Guy' for quite some time, but now we have the first trailer and I can see it certainly doesn't disappoint.

From the above trailer, which has been posted on the official 20th Century Fox YouTube Channel, we can see a blissfully ignorant Ryan Reynolds going about his background life until he begins to wake up. Reynolds' character is called "Guy", and he essentially becomes sentient as he realizes that he is, in fact, just a non-playable-character (NPC) inside a video game.

Upon realizing that he can do more, Guy decides to become the hero of his own story by attempting to rewrite himself with his ultimate goal being to save the world from being shut down. "Free Guy" is directed by Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) and written by Matt Lieberman. Other stars in the movie include Taika Waititi, Jodie Comer, Joe Keery, Lil Rel Howery, and Utkarsh Ambudkar. "Free Guy" is expected to hit theatres on July 3rd, 2020.

I binge watched the entire first season of Amazon's superhero TV show 'The Boys' on my way to Qualcomm's annual Snapdragon Summit, and it quickly became one of my all-time favorite TV shows. The teaser trailer for season two just dropped, and boy does it look good:

The Boys season two teaser trailer opens with Homelander gracefully floating down to the ground, and when the camera focuses on the star of the show -- he's covered in blood. This is no surprise considering how blood-soaked and gory The Boys is, and anyone who watched the first season of The Boys should know Homelander has just done something diabolical.

Homelander is a blend of Superman and Captain America, but evil -- pure, pure evil -- while the rest of 'The Seven' which is really a f***ed up version of Justice League, is equally as bad. You'll have to watch the show to get it, and I don't want to do any spoiling here either. On top of Antony Star as Homelander which he plays absolutely perfectly, he's joined by the awesome Karl Urban who plays an even-more-awesome Billy Butcher, who is incredible in the role.

Mad Max: Fury Road is getting a sequel, director George Miller confirms, but it probably won't be out for a long time.

After invigorating the Mad Max franchise, George Miller's next film is far removed from the action flick. But Miller is far from done with the bloody, scorched post-apocalyptic world of mayhem and metal. In a recent interview with Deadline, Miller says Max's story is far from finished.

"I'm not done with the Mad Max story and I think you have to be a multi-tasker, and there's certainly another Mad Max coming down the pike after this. We're in preparation on that as well," Miller said.

If you saw the first Wonder Woman movie, then you are no doubt excited for the sequel, Wonder Woman 1984.

Luckily we aren't that far away from the sequel, and to get fans excited for the release, Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot has taken to her personal Twitter account to tease the full trailer release. The quick 30-second teaser trailer shows off some pretty awesome action scenes of Wonder Woman doing what she does best, protecting the innocent and battling the guilty.

The teaser trailer says that the full trailer will be released tomorrow during the Brazil CCXP at exactly 12:30 pm. It is also mentioned that the trailer will be live-streamed on Twitter first before hitting other platforms. But if I know the internet, and I do, I'd suspect that as soon as it's uploaded to Twitter, it's going to be copied and re-uploaded to YouTube, Facebook, and basically everywhere else.

Adult Swim has released the beginning of Rick and Morty Season 4 Episode 4, showing Morty attempting to bargain with Rick about getting his own dragon.

If you have been out of the loop with Rick and Morty season 4 news, the fourth episode is about to release after the short Thanksgiving break. To hype up fans for the fourth episode, Adult Swim has decided to release the first 38 seconds of the episode on their social medias.

The fourth episode is titled "Morty Gets A Dragon," and only a couple of days ago, we got a teaser of Rick battling Morty's dragon under their house. From today's teaser, we get a bit of context on how and why Morty gets a dragon, and judging from the video Morty bargained Rick for a dragon because he didn't want to go on Rick's adventure and cut class. Rick and Morty Season 4 Episode 4 releases tomorrow at 11:30 pm ET.

Coca-Cola is getting behind this month's release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and what better way to celebrate the launch than with light-up Star Wars-themed Coca-Cola bottles.

Coca-Cola took to their Instagram account to release a video showcasing their new line of Star Wars-themed Coca-Cola bottles. So what's so special about this? These Rey and Kylo-Ren Coca-Cola bottles light-up when their label is touched, triggering the OLED lights and activating the lightsabers.

The labels were designed by a German company called Inuru, who have equipped each label with a built-in printed battery. When a user touches the label, the circuit that is connected to the OLED's is completed, sending electricity to the lightsabers. Inuru says that each label can be used a minimum of 500 times before the battery runs out. Unfortunately, Coca-Cola is only releasing 8,000 of these limited edition bottles, and they are only available in Singapore between December 6th to December 22nd.

The National Geographic Channel has announced that Emmy winning series 'Cosmos' will be returning for a third season in March next year.

Neil deGrasse Tyson will host the third season of the show, which Ann Druyan, the creative director of NASA's Voyager interstellar message project, says is "our boldest [season] yet". The third season is said to take viewers through topics such as humanity's future on distant planets, extinction, and a general look at the history of our universe.

Season 3 will first be aired on the National Geographic Channel, and then it will appear on Fox sometime in the Summer of the same year. Druyan says, "The 'Ship of the Imagination' will carry us places we never dared to venture before: lost worlds and worlds to come, deep into the future and straight through that hole in the curtain masking other realities". Cosmos season 3 will be aired on March 9th, 2020. Get excited about science!

If you haven't been keeping up with the Witcher TV show news, critics have said that the fight scenes in the show 'make Game of Thrones fights look awful' -- now we can take a look for ourselves.

Netflix has released an extremely short teaser clip of Geralt of Rivia doing what he does best, hunting and killing victims. The video can be seen above, and from what we can see, it appears Geralt, played by Man of Steel's Henry Cavill, is in a courtroom, and something goes badly wrong. What appears to be the ruler of the courtroom orders her men to kill Geralt and his friend, and that's where she made a mistake.

Choreography wise, Cavill has got Geralt's graceful yet brutal fighting style down packed - this an extremely important part for Witcher fans as Geralt and Witchers, in general, have a particular fighting style. Geralt cuts through the men that approach him like a warm knife going through butter. After seeing this fight scene hype has increased even more for the shows expected arrive on December 20th.

Famous ill-tempered Twitch streamer Dr. Disrespect is getting his very own TV show.

The show itself is being produced by Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman's Skybound Entertainment, and is goes in a very meta direction by exploring Dr. Disrespect's origin story. It'll be a narrative-driven show that chronicles the macho mullet-earing Blockbuster video game champion's rise to fame. Guy Beahm, the streamer who plays the character, says it'll expose "how the doctor became the doctor."

Right now the project is in very early stages of development and it could animated or live-action. Every Dr. Disrespect stream is basically a show in of itself, so this shouldn't be anything new for Beahm, who hardly ever breaks character when in public or on video.

A new report has revealed that another Planet of the Apes movie is in the works, and its director will be the man behind the camera for The Maze Runner.

The Hollywood Reporter has reported that Fox has hired Maz Runner director, Wes Ball to develop and direct a brand new Planet of the Apes movie. It's unclear whether or not this movie will be a continuation of the already established franchise or if Fox will decide to reboot the franchise with a fresh director.

The Planet of the Apes franchise has been done many times over. Originally, the first movie in 1968 came from a book by French writer Pierre Boulle. That film's popularity led to sequels being made in TV form, and eventually, in 2001, Tim Burton rebooted the franchise again with Mark Wahlberg. Planet of the Apes got another fresh take in 2011 when Fox released Rise of the Planet of the Apes starring James Franco and Andy Serkis. This sparked two more movies to be made, 2014's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and 2017's War for the Planet of the Apes.

Who's excited for the next episode of Rick and Morty? I know I am, which means I'll be tuning into episode 4 this Sunday at 11:30 pm. But first, let's check out the released teaser.

The official Twitter account for Rick and Morty released the above teaser for season 4's episode 4, and from the video, we learn that this episode will be based around Morty getting a dragon. We know this from one of two reasons, the video's caption "It's the Morty gets a dragon episode" and Rick saying "and that's the end of the Morty gets a dragon episode".

Summer then asks Rick "are you gonna slay it?", Rick then turns around and says, "first off, I always slay it, queen." Then he says, "and secondly, yes." Does it seem that Rick could be referencing Game of Thrones in that sentence? Regardless, he heads down to the basement where Morty's dragon is (which looks extremely similar to The Hobbits Smaug with all the gold it's sitting on), the dragon then breathes fire at Rick. Rick then sarcastically pretends how he didn't think about how dragons breathe fire and uses a hologram to outsmart the dragon and jump on its back.

Marvel Studios has just released the very first teaser trailer for the upcoming Marvel movie focusing around Black Widow.

Above we have the official teaser trailer, it begins with a voice-over from Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow), and she explains that she "used to have nothing, and then I got this job, this family. But nothing lasts forever". We are then presented with some flashbacks of what can be assumed to be Natasha's young life. We also see glimpses of her early training.

The trailer also shows Natasha encountering Stranger Things star, David Harbour (Red Guardian), Midsommar's, Florence Pugh, Oscar-winner Rachel Weisz, and more great actors. Cate Shortland directed the film and screenplay was done by Ned Benson and Jac Shaeffer. According to the trailer's description, Black Widow is expected to hit cinemas on May 1st, 2020.
