"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.
You might recognize the Wollman Rink in Central Park from its appearances in famous movies like Serendipity and Home Alone 2. And it's also a spot where New Yorkers and visitors flock for some time out on the ice. Andrew Perry, director of operations of Wollman Rink NYC, spoke with Cheddar News about the rink's history, its operations and what to expect when visiting.
The contract agreement reached Wednesday must still be approved by the union's board and its members, but the leadership said actors will be allowed to return to work starting Thursday.
