"Game of Thrones" Creators to Helm New "Star Wars" Series
A galaxy far, far away is joining forces with the Seven Kingdoms. "Game of Thrones" creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are set to write a new "Star Wars" series for Disney. YourTango's Rebecca Stokes joins Cheddar to discuss what the news means for Disney's overall content and streaming strategies.
Tronc is selling the Los Angeles Times to California billionaire doctor Patrick Soon-Shiong. Stokes breaks down who the buyer is, and what the purchase means for the future of the media company. The paper has gone through three editors in the past six months as its publisher has faced sexual harassment allegations.
"Get Out" could be getting a sequel. Writer and director Jordan Peele told The Hollywood Reporter he's open to making a followup to the Oscar-nominated thriller. Stokes reveals what the next movie might look like, and how it plays into the original's awards campaign.
Scores of Boston University students turned their backs on the head of one of Hollywood's biggest studios, and some shouted “pay your writers,” as he gave the school's commencement address Sunday in a stadium where protesters supporting the Hollywood writers' strike picketed outside.
An Associated Press analysis of more than 130 bills in 40 state legislatures found of the proposals, as introduced or passed, are identical or very similar to some model legislation, the AP found.
The first book in the Harry Potter series hit shelves in 1997. Since then, it’s become a multibillion dollar franchise with multiple books and movies, a theme park, and now an interactive exhibit in New York City. Cheddar’s own Ashley Mastronardi visited earlier this week before it was open to the public.
