Nikon announces small and lightweight Z50 mirrorless camera with APS-C sensor
Nikon is today introducing an entry-level, crop-sensor camera that uses the same Z-mount system as the company’s Z6 and Z7 full-frame mirrorless cameras. The new Z50 costs $859 body only, and Nikon is also introducing two new DX-format lenses alongside it. You can bundle the camera with a 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lens for $999.95, and there’s also a two-lens kit that adds a 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR lens for a total of $1349.95. Even then, you’re still coming in below the $1,800 Z6, but obviously these cameras are targeted at very different audiences. This one is made for the Instagram generation and for people who want a “real” camera for video. Nikon says the Z50 will ship in November.
The Z50 has a 20.9-megapixel CMOS sensor, weighs under a...

Author tricks Amazon into distributing union materials to its own employees via book cover
I haven’t read Mike Monteiro’s new book Ruined by Design, so I can’t say whether it’s any good. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t available at Amazon for all that much longer, now that its cover encourages Amazon workers to form a labor union.
This past Thursday, Monteiro tells The Verge, he realized he could change his self-published book’s cover as easily as uploading a new PDF — and used it to add a new message to Amazon workers they’ll presumably see as they print and package it for delivery.
Every time you buy my book from Amazon, a warehouse worker has to pull it off the shelf. From now on, this is what that worker will see. At least until Amazon shitcans the whole thing. Hurry up. https://t.co/l5jxdz1azW p...

Ewan McGregor Says Birds Of Prey Is A Feminist Movie
Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is shaping up pretty well. I like the poster designs, the aesthetic of the movie looks interesting and the trailer had a real sense of fun to it (reminding me more than a little of the excellent Spring Breakers).
Directed by Cathy Yan, the pic follows Suicide Squad‘s Harley Quinn as she teams up with Black Canary, the Huntress and Renee Montaya to protect a young Cassandra Cain from sadistic crime lord Black Mask. The villain will be played by Ewan McGregor, who recently gave an interview about the project to French magazine Premiere and in it, he discussed the film’s gender politics, explaining that he sees Birds of Prey as an unambiguously feminist movie.
What interested me with Birds of Prey is that it’s a feminist film. It is very finely written, the script takes a real look on misogyny. And I think we need that, we need to be more aware of how we behave with the opposite sex. We need to be taught to change. Misogynists in movies are often extreme: they rape, they beat women … And it is legitimate to represent people like that, because they exist and they are obviously the worst. But in the dialogue of Birds of Prey, there is always a hint of everyday misogyny, of those things you say as a man you do not even realize, mansplaining … All it’s in the script in a very subtle way. I found that brilliant.
Sounds cool. Superhero films occasionally seem to use feminist credentials as a way to promote a movie. For example, Captain Marvel built most of its marketing campaign around Carol Danvers being the first woman to front a Marvel effort, but its message of empowerment via military service wasn’t particularly progressive. But Birds of Prey looks as if it’s going to be a superhero movie specifically aimed at women, looking like it’s going to occupy the same blockbuster niche as the Charlie’s Angels reboot.
However it turns out, I don’t need to spell out that any blockbuster openly touting itself as feminist is destined to draw fire from the more easily outraged corners of the internet. But by now, I think people have become a bit bored of the same old attacks. I say bring on Birds of Prey, and if it’s as good as it sounds, I hope more films follow its feminist example.

News organization Quartz tells The Verge that Apple has removed its mobile app from the Chinese version of its App Store after complaints from the Chinese government. According to Quartz, this is due to the publication’s ongoing coverage of the Hong Kong protests, and the company says its entire website has also been blocked from being accessed in mainland China.
The publication says it received a notice from Apple that the app “includes content that is illegal in China.”
In a statement, Quartz CEO Zach Seward, who assumed the role of chief executive just two days ago, tells The Verge that “We abhor this kind of government censorship of the internet, and have great coverage of how to get around such bans around the world.” The statement...

Harry Potter Star Says He Doesn’t Want Anyone Else Playing Voldemort
Though all seven books have already been used up, there’s always talk of there potentially being more Harry Potter movies down the line. After all, J.K. Rowling did co-write The Cursed Child stage play, which extends the story of the Boy (now Man) Who Lived. Ralph Fiennes, star of the original movies, doesn’t think any more are likely to happen, but if they do, he has one message to other actors: hands off Lord Voldemort.
ComicBook.com caught up with Fiennes at New York Comic-Con and asked him about the possibility of more Potter on the big screen. As part of his answer, the British star made clear that he wants to be the one to get the call to come back and play Harry’s nose-less nemesis.
“I will be very possessive about Voldemort, though. I don’t want anyone else playing Voldemort.”
It’s funny that Fiennes is so possessive about Voldemort, as he’s far from the only actor to play the role in the franchise. Richard Bremmer portrayed him in flashback in the first movie, with Ian Hart voicing him. Christian Coulson then featured as the teen Tom Riddle in Chamber of Secrets. Frank Dillane and Ralph’s own nephew Hero Fiennes-Tiffin also played the young Riddle in Half-Blood Prince.
However, Fiennes did appear as Voldemort in every installment from Goblet of Fire onward, so he is the face of the character for the most part. No doubt many fans would agree with Fiennes, then, that he should return if more movies were on the cards.
As for if there’s a chance of that, the actor told CB.com that he doesn’t think there is as he believes Rowling is more focused on the Fantastic Beasts films and has put Potter to bed.
“I don’t see it happening. I think JK Rowing… My sense is, I don’t know this, is that she feels that’s done and she’s developing [the Wizarding World] with those other films. I don’t know. Who knows, though, who knows? You never know.”
Rupert Grint has also recently said he’d be up for coming back as Ron Weasley in a Cursed Child movie. So, there’s definitely a couple of Harry Potter cast members who would be up for a return if WB decided to do it.
