Soon everyone will be able to "watch the Watchmen." On HBO, that is. The iconic graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons is getting a live-action TV series adaptation on HBO, with the network originally ordering a pilot last year and now confirming that a full season has been ordered. The show will premiere sometime in 2019, and features Damon Lindelof, co-creator of Lost and The Leftovers, as show-runner.
HBO has announced an upcoming science fiction drama series from Joss Whedon, the man behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer and more. The new show will be called The Nevers, and it is said to focus on "powerful female characters." HBO doesn't have much to say about the series at this time, but it does mark Whedon's first return to the public eye following controversy last year.
Did the not so fake Skyrim: Very Special Edition Alexa game tickle your fancy but aren’t too keen on fantasy settings? Don’t worry, there’s another spoken game waiting for you, this time with a match almost made in artificial heaven. After all, what better way to experience an AI-centric world than through an AI chatbot. That’s the kind of unique experience that HBO’s Westworld: The Maze tries to bring and, to turn the tables around, you play as the Host, not the human.
Next to Game of Thrones, HBO’s other hit series is Westworld. And like any hit show or film, it naturally has a mobile game tie-in. That game, simply called Westworld, is hitting Android and iOS app stores this week and is almost a perfect match for the series’ fictional simulation theme part. But make no mistake, this is no child’s play.
Streaming seems to be the way to go these days. Analysts expect that the market would soon overtake and devour traditional TV services, becoming the be-all and end-all of video entertainment at home and on the go. These services, some of them smaller than the network giants that run cable and live TV, often compete on more than just the licensed content they can deliver to their subscribers. They compete, sometimes even more viciously, over original shows that none of their competitors will be able to broadcast. We take a look at some of today’s streaming services to check which ones offer the best selection of original content.
Fans of HBO's hit series Game of Thrones are no stranger to long waits between seasons, and it's been known for some time that the wait for the show's eighth and final season would be especially long. But things were made even worse when it was announced earlier this month that Game of Thrones would be returning until sometime in 2019. Fortunately Maisie Williams, the actress who plays Arya Stark, has narrowed down that window to something a bit more specific.
Get ready to settle in, Game of Thrones fans, because you've got quite the wait ahead of you for the eighth and final season of the show. Given the need to wrap up everything that's developed over the past seven seasons, it wasn't hard to imagine that the wait for the next season would be an extended one. As it turns out, that notion was right on the money.
HBO is taking extreme steps to make sure thieves can't steal even more episodes from its beloved series Game of Thrones. According to the most recent reports, HBO won't allow cast members to see the script unless they have a valid reason for needing to. This is in contrast to earlier seasons, a time during which the cast were given copies of the scripts to read ahead of time.
The next season of Game of Thrones will be the series' last. We've known this for a while, of course, but now that season 7 is over and the stage is set, it all feels a bit more real, doesn't it? Unfortunately, HBO's track record with leaks is not the greatest, and as a result, some Game of Thrones fans might be worried that the ending to the series will be spoiled for them before they get a chance to watch it.
With Game of Thrones season 7 already winding down, we knew that showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss were going to raise the stakes significantly in episode 6, and boy did they do exactly that. We didn’t zoom around Westeros this week as much as we have been in recent episodes, but the places we did visit offered more than enough action and intrigue to fill Beyond the Wall’s 71-minute running time. It’s all leading up to next week’s season finale, which promises to be quite the epic episode.
Watch out, Game of Thrones fans, because this week's upcoming episode has been leaked a few days early. Though Game of Thrones season 6, episode 7 - dubbed "Death is the Enemy" - is not set to air until Sunday night, it's hitting the internet today. While at first you might thing that the hackers behind HBO's recent security breach are responsible for this leak, you'd be wrong.
Four individuals have been arrested in India over allegedly leaking a new episode of Game of Thrones. According to a statement from local police, these individuals were in possession of official credentials that gave them access to the new episode. The group is said to have worked for an entertainment company located in Mumbai that would provide access to the episode once it aired in the country.
