It successfully established a brand new team of vigilantes with the Birds of Prey, while improving the character of Harley Quinn tenfold.

James Gunn’s sequel to Suicide Squad is already on the books, for example....

The first trailer for Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) presents a number of nods to its chief villain, Black Mask. Ewan McGregor is playing the infamous crime-boss and member of Batman’s rogues’ gallery, who has only been seen unmasked in every bit of footage seen so far. Thankfully, the trailer suggests that the movie is just as much about Roman Sionis becoming Black Mask as it is Harley Quinn trying to build a new life free of The Joker....

Despite having the risqué premise of a man falling in love with a prostitute, Pretty Woman became a runaway box office hit in 1990 and is easily one of the most beloved romantic comedies ever made. Richard Gere and Julia Roberts emerged as a popular on-screen pairing, and went on to reunite in subsequent projects. Pretty Woman had a long road from a darkly themed script about the class divide in Los Angeles to a mainstream Hollywood romcom, under the close guidance of director Garry Marshall and his cast and crew....

When the word ‘Bollywood’ is uttered, the first thing that usually comes to mind for Americans is images of Indian people doing crazy dance moves and singing. But actually, Bollywood is an entire film industry based in India that produces the most amount of films per year in the world. As such, there are multiple genres of film produced including horror.

The director of Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) says the upcoming DC film is not really a “team-up” movie.

One thing that has been made clear about Birds of Prey is it is moving far away from The Suicide Squad....

With Apple expected to be aiming to make the 2017 iPhone as close to bezel-free as possible, the company will need to take tech that currently sits above or below the screen and find a way to embed it into the display itself. We saw last week the latest patent for embedding Touch ID into the display, and today it’s the turn of the light sensors. A patent spotted by Apple Insider describes a method for embedding light sensors into either an LCD or OLED display....

The World of Warcraft developer has a large following in China, which has been undergoing numerous protests and marches over the past few months in response to the communist government’s control and treatment of Hong Kong. Recently, China banned South Park from airing in their country after an episode which not only depicted prisoners being abused while under the Chinese government’s watch but also featured Winnie the Pooh, who is already banned there due to a supposed resemblance between the cartoon creature and China’s President Xi Jinping....
