"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.
Hollywood closed out an up and down 2023 with “Wonka” regaining No. 1 at the box office, strong sales for “The Color Purple” and an overall $9 billion in ticket sales that improved on 2022’s grosses but fell about $2 billion shy of pre-pandemic norms.
2024 is the Year of the Dragon for the Lunar New Year, which kicks off February 10. To commemorate the occasion, the U.S. Post Office unveiled a new dragon stamp.
