Stranger Things season 3 arrives in July
Netflix rang in the start of 2019 by announcing that Stranger Things would return for its third season on July 4th.
A brief teaser for the show’s third season accompanied the announcement, giving fans plenty of cryptic hints to think over while enjoying their morning coffee. A news broadcast from New Years’ Eve 1985 includes some bizarre intermissions from a government agency, filled with phrases like “when blue and yellow meet in the west” and nonsensical terms like “SilverCatFeeds.”
A poster for the season also debuted on Twitter last night, bringing us up to date with what’s going on in the lives of our favorite Hawkins residents. Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and Mike (Finn Wolfhard) seem like they’re still going strong, holding each...

Scarlett Johansson slams deepfakes, says she can’t stop the internet from pasting her face on porn
Scarlett Johansson, the highest-paid actress in Hollywood, knows a thing or two about unwanted nudes making their way onto the internet. In 2012, a hacker was sentenced to 10 years in prison after leaking nude photos of her and other celebrities, setting an example to warn future thieves.
But there may be nobody to arrest, nobody even to sue, when it comes to deepfakes: AI-generated videos that seamlessly stitch Johansson and other celebs’ faces onto the bodies of porn stars having sex.
Now, Johansson has spoken out against deepfakes in an interview with The Washington Post, They’ve published her comments verbatim, so I’d suggest clicking to read the whole thing — you can practically hear her throw up her arms in exasperation.

In season 3, Netflix’s Series of Unfortunate Events has a beautiful conclusion
Given the simple structure of A Series of Unfortunate Events’ plots, it must have been tempting for Netflix to try to extend the series as long as it could. Sure, author Daniel Handler only penned 13 books in the Unfortunate Events series, but the setup of his plot could inspire any number of additional schemes where the scheming Count Olaf (Neil Patrick Harris) dons some ridiculous costume to try to steal the inheritance of the Baudelaire orphans. But series developers Mark Hudis and Barry Sonnenfeld took a disciplined approach to their adaptation, hewing closely to the novels’ plots, spirit, and timeline. The show’s third and final season, which premieres on January 1st, 2019, is a masterclass in how to build a faithful adaptation, and...

Black Mirror Season 5 now coming in 2019, with more optimistic stories
Are you enjoying Bandersnatch, the first choose-your-own-adventure interactive episode of the oft-delightfully dystopian Black Mirror? Good, because it may be the only new episode you’ll be seeing for a while. Executive producer and co-creator Annabel Jones has confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that Bandersnatch took such an “enormous” amount of effort that it wound up pushing back Black Mirror’s fifth season.
Black Mirror Season 5 is now due in 2019, a Netflix spokesperson tells The Verge, without elaborating.
It’s not clear how long a wait we’re looking at. An entire year might make sense: The New York Times reports that showrunners spent a full year on the Bandersnatch episode alone, and the past few Black Mirror projects have each...

The Verge 2018 tech report card: Streaming music
Although music streaming has been an integral part of daily life for what seems like ages, both the music industry and tech companies have consistently and frustratingly been behind the curve. So in many ways, 2018 felt like the first year that both sectors embraced innovation in the world of music streaming in ways that will meaningfully affect its future. There were substantial developments on the consumer side, but this year was more impactful for artists, many of whom rely on streaming platforms as their bread and butter.
Some shifts can be attributed to the platforms themselves, as services like SoundCloud and Spotify waded into new territories like self-monetization. But the biggest change came from advocacy within the music...

After a 20 year delay, works from 1923 will finally enter the public domain tomorrow
After a twenty year hiatus, tomorrow will finally see the 95 year long copyrights of works released in 1923 expire. These 1923 films, books and songs will effectively be the first to enter the public domain in the US since 1998, and Duke University notes that it will include such classics as Charlie Chaplin’s The Pilgrim, Jacob’s Room by Viginia Woolf, and the song Charleston (based on the popular dance of the same name).
Welcoming classic works to the public domain was an annual New Year’s Day tradition. Charlie Chaplin’s 1921 directorial debut, The Kid, became public on January 1st, 1997, and was joined by the 1922 German horror classic Nosferatu a year later. But in 1998, Congress extended the length of copyright from 75 years to...

Faraday Future gets a lifeline as it settles months-long battle with Chinese investor
The war between electric car startup Faraday Future and its main investor, Chinese real estate conglomerate Evergrande, appears to be over. Evergrande announced on Monday that it has agreed to restructure its $2 billion investment in Faraday Future. The conglomerate will walk away with full control over Faraday Future’s efforts in China, and both sides will drop all ongoing litigation against each other, according to a release posted to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Faraday Future will receive a bridge loan from Evergrande to “overcome [the startup’s] cash flow difficulties,” spokesperson John Schilling said in an email. Those difficulties involve Faraday Future almost completely running out of cash over the last few months, which...

Leaked video reveals new Nokia 9 PureView with five cameras
Leaks of a potential Nokia-branded phone with five cameras on the rear have been appearing for months, but a new video suggests that the device could be officially unveiled soon. Evan Blass first posted a photo of the rumored Nokia 9 PureView on Twitter earlier today, and now mysmartprice has published what looks like a promotional video for the unannounced device.
The Nokia 9 PureView looks very similar to the existing Nokia 8 Sirocco, except for the rear. The video shows off a wild penta-lens setup capable of five simultaneous shots and claims of improved efficiency in low-light situations and the ability to re-focus images after they’re taken. HMD also appears to be including a 5.99-inch “PureDisplay” with support for HDR10 and an...

The Verge 2018 tech report card: Headphones
Headphones did not have the most auspicious start to 2018. Back in January, it seemed like a diversity of competing voice assistants, wireless audio protocols, and idiosyncratic control schemes would lead to a fragmented mess of a market. Everyone wanted wireless headphones, and the providers of those devices were keen to establish some sort of a walled-garden effect around their particular product.
The demand for more technologically advanced headphones has only increased over the course of the year, however the threat of user-hostile competition among headphone makers has not materialized. In large part thanks to integrated wireless chips that bundle Bluetooth radios with the necessary voice assistant compatibility for both iOS and...

A Quiet Place 2 Will Show Its World From Another Perspective
With the still-untitled A Quiet Place 2 not due to come out for well over a year, it’s not surprising that writer-director John Krasinski has been keeping very, well, quiet on the project as of late. But while it sounds like the filmmaker is still working out the details of the follow-up to his acclaimed horror hit, the Jack Ryan star is starting to open up a little about the approach he’s taking to the sequel.
Krasinski has hinted in the past that he’s more interested in further exploring the post-apocalyptic world introduced in the first movie than continuing the story of the Abbott family, and in a recent interview with Deadline, the filmmaker elaborated on this notion, saying:
“The idea for it is pretty simple. I’m writing now—I don’t have it fleshed out—but the thought that occurred to me, that really excited me about it, was that most sequels are about the return of a hero or a villain. You take this character that people loved once and you bring them back, and you have to create a new world around them. We have the exact opposite setup. We have the world, and you can drop whoever you want into that world and everyone feels connected to it.”
From the sound of things, we could be looking at a series model in the vein of George A. Romero’s zombie movies, where each sequel has little-to-no narrative overlap with what came before, save for the fictional reality it inhabits. Krasinski went on to explain that it was the potential of this cinematic world populated by sound-sensitive monsters that inspired him to sign on for A Quiet Place 2.
“The reason I decided to go back, in the end, was this world is so rich, and it’s so much fun to explore. There are so many different things to see now. Everyone else in the world is experiencing this, so I’m curious to see what that looks like from another perspective.”
That being said, the writer also admits that he may have let himself be manipulated a little into wanting to make the movie, explaining:
“I’ll be honest with you: I really didn’t want to do the sequel. It was never built to launch sequels, which we all knew, and the studio knew too. But also, I’m a realist. I know that when you have a success like this, everyone wants to make another one. I told them to go find another filmmaker and writer, and they said, ‘But don’t you have an idea?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I have a tiny idea,’ so they said, ‘OK, while we’re talking to other people, keep thinking about it.’ They basically mind-tricked me into wanting to write it.”
But whatever Krasinski’s reasons were for signing on for this next film, it’s clear that there’ll be a lot of fans eager to see how he fleshes out the incessantly tense world he helped create. And we’ll find out if A Quiet Place 2 can live up to the hype when the film hits theaters on May 15th, 2020.

Netflix Just Added A Ton Of Great Horror Movies
Netflix recently revealed which films would be coming to their library to ring in the New Year, and they’re looking like a great collection for horror fans. Hailing from 2001-2004, you can now stream Jason X, Ghost Ship, Eight Legged Freaks, Gothika, Cellular and The Butterfly Effect. Of course, none of these are stone cold classics, but they’re all worthwhile watches if you can put up with a bit of wonky early noughties CGI and occasionally very hammy acting.
My pick of these would be time travel/parallel universe caper The Butterfly Effect. Sure, Ashton Kutcher might be a bit wooden in it, but I’ve always enjoyed watching him gradually screw up his life more and more with each change he makes to the timeline. I also still find the overblown scene where he wakes up to realize he’s got no arms pretty funny, if only for Kutcher’s very silly performance. Now, we don’t know whether Netflix is screening the director’s cut of the film, but let’s hope so, because I simply won’t accept a version of this movie that doesn’t end with a fetus committing suicide in the womb.
As for the rest, I’ve always felt oversized spider creature feature Eight Legged Freaks is worth a watch, if only for David Arquette delivering a committed performance in the face of CGI spiders. Plus, it features Scarlett Johansson in a towel getting webbed to a wall by a spider, which has got to cater to at least one very specific fetish.
As for the rest, Jason X is an interesting and actually pretty witty update on the Friday the 13th formula that’s aged surprisingly well and Ghost Ship at least does what it says on the tin and provides ghosts on a ship. I struggle to say anything positive about Gothika and Cellular, though. The former features Halle Berry gamely struggling through absolutely terrible dialogue and the latter’s an extremely of its time movie that criticizes how much people are addicted to old-style cellphones (a fear that looks a bit quaint from a 2018 perspective).
Tell us, have you got any favorites amongst these new Netflix additions? Be sure to sound off in the comments section down below.

Geoff Johns Says There Should Be A Black Manta Solo Movie After Aquaman
Though the new Aquaman sees Patrick Wilson’s Orm as the main villain, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s take on David Kane, aka Black Manta, has certainly earned its fans, among whom is DC head honcho Geoff Johns.
The Wonder Woman 1984 co-writer claimed in a recent interview with Geeks of Color that an Aquaman movie without Black Manta simply couldn’t, or at least shouldn’t, be done.
“It’s impossible. It’s like doing a Batman movie without the Batmobile. You just shouldn’t do it. Some people were like, you can’t do the big helmet. It’s like saying Joker without the smile!”
Johns himself worked on the story for Arthur Curry’s solo debut, and during his collaboration with director James Wan, having to fit David Kane’s arc into the film was reportedly a source of some difficulty and stress.
“There was a moment when the script was really going and James texted me or emailed me, and said Black Manta’s story may be too big for this movie. What do you think? And I didn’t reply, I just went to his office and I said, ‘Black Manta has to be in the movie.’ He was like, ‘I know!!!’”
Despite a runtime that stretches to almost two-and-a-half-hours, Aquaman only has so many scenes it can give over to Black Manta, so it’s probably a good thing that Abdul-Mateen seems game for future films. As the actor himself has observed, David Kane has been known to pop up in a variety of different comic book storylines opposite the likes of Arthur Curry and the Suicide Squad, but if you ask Johns, the popular villain ought to have a movie of his own:
“There should be a Black Manta movie. That’d be a cool movie.”
While it doesn’t look like Warner Bros. has any plans for a Black Manta solo flick right now, the post-credits scene of Aquaman suggests big plans for the character in the follow-up, and given how well the movie has been doing this month at the box office, it’s safe to say that the sequel is a go.
Though Aquaman 2 is presumably still a long wait away, there might well be opportunities for Black Manta to show up in other projects in the meantime, be it Suicide Squad 2 or maybe even Birds of Prey, but before all that, director David F. Sandberg is set to explore a very different part of the DCEU when Shazam! comes out on April 5th, 2019.
