Willow Sequel TV Show Is Happening For Disney+
The 1988 adventure Willow was George Lucas’s next big fantasy movie after he’d wrapped up the Star Wars trilogy five years earlier. Although the film wasn’t a big box office hit at the time, it has since developed a cult following, and there have been various rumors of a potential sequel over the years. It’s now been confirmed that Disney+ is making Willow TV show.
As reported by Variety, the Willow series will be set many years after the film and will once again star Warwick Davis as Willow Ufgood, the film’s heroic main character. Ron Howard, who directed the movie, will executive produce, while Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu will helm the pilot. The showrunners will be Jonathan Kasdan, who co-wrote Howard’s Star Wars spin-off Solo, and Wendy Mericle, who was co-showrunner on The CW’s Arrow. The show will start production next year.
In a statement, Chu said, “Growing up in the ’80s, Willow has had a profound effect on me. The story of the bravest heroes in the least likely places allowed me, an Asian-American kid growing up in a Chinese restaurant looking to go to Hollywood, to believe in the power of our own will, determination and of course, inner magic. So the fact that I get to work with my heroes from Kathleen Kennedy to Ron Howard is bigger than a dream come-true. It’s a bucket-list moment for me. Jon Kasdan and Wendy Mericle have added such groundbreaking new characters and delightful surprises to this timeless story that I can’t wait for the world to come along on this epic journey with us.”
WWE Hell In A Cell 2020: When Is It, Match Card, Predictions, And How To Watch
October marks the scariest month of the year, and that means WWE will be getting the most spooky with its PPVs. And what’s the scariest PPV of all time? No, not Halloween Havoc or Great Balls of Fire! We’re talking about Hell in a Cell, a PPV where a giant red chain-linked fence encapsulates the ring.
On Sunday, October 25, the Hell in a Cell enters the Thunderdome. So it will be a cell, inside a dome, inside the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. This is dangerously close to WCW’s Tower of Doom match. Anyway, Hell in a Cell will feature a few matches from inside the titular cell, and here are the start times across the globe.
Start time:
- 5 PM PT
- 7 PM CT
- 8 PM ET
- 12 AM GMT (October 26)
- 11 AM AEDT (October 26)
Like most PPVs, there will be a Kickoff Show prior to the main card. However, you’ll be able to watch that on YouTube and on WWE’s Twitter page for free.
Fortnite Players Taking A Break From Fighting To Trick-Or-Treat
Fortnite players are ready for Halloween. A few risky players have gone trick-or-treating by ringing doorbells at random houses across the map, hoping they won’t get shot at once the door opens.
Two players rolled up to one house, built walls around them for protection, and then decorated their little enclosure with spider and spider web sprays in the clip above. They knocked on the door, emoted, and waited for the door to open. The player inside the house greeted the players with healing items.
“It’s great knowing that there are still players who want to have fun instead of killing you on the spot,” said Redditor ghosty300. Halloween has flooded the battle royale genre this week. Halloween decorations and limited time modes have popped up in Apex Legends, and Call of Duty: Warzone. It’s rumored that a Fortnitemares update, that will bring special challenges and modes, will come to Fortnite on October 21.
Pokemon Home Going Down For Maintenance Ahead Of Crown Tundra’s Release
Pokemon Sword and Shield‘s Crown Tundra DLC is almost here. The expansion goes live on Thursday, October 22, and ahead of its release, the Pokemon Home service will temporarily go down for maintenance as it receives its own corresponding update.
According to an in-app notification, the maintenance period will begin on October 22 at 11 PM UTC (4 PM PT / 7 PM ET) and is expected to run until 4 AM UTC on October 23 (9 PM PT on October 22). The service will be inaccessible on both Switch and mobile during the entire maintenance period.
The Pokemon Company hasn’t shared any further details on what changes the Pokemon Home update will bring, but it is presumably making the storage service compatible with the new monsters coming in the Crown Tundra expansion. The notification notes that players will be required to update the app to version 1.3.0 to continue using it after maintenance concludes.
