The ninth and final season of The Office featured an ongoing storyline about the marital issues that Jim and Pam were facing. Things got so bad that many viewers wondered if the couple–whose loving relationship was a throughline for the entire show–might come to an end. If you thought this might happen, that was intentional, showrunner Greg Daniels said in a new interview.

He told Collider that the writers never intended to actually break up the couple. Daniels said he wanted viewers to be worried about Jim and Pam’s relationship, however.

“The plan was never to split them up. The plan was just to introduce a little worry into the audience so that they’d stand up and pay attention and that there would be a little feeling of like the Act 2 break in a movie,” he said. “But no there was never gonna be a split-up for them. There was always a happy ending planned.”

Hulu’s upcoming Steve Martin-Martin Short comedy Only Murders in the Building has added Amy Ryan (The Office, The Wire) as a co-star opposite Martin, Short, and Selena Gomez (Spring Breakers, 13 Reasons Why). The casting announcement was reported by Deadline, and the show is expected to hit the streaming service sometime this year.

Co-created and written by Martin and John Hoffman (The Larry Sanders Show, Northern Lights) and based on an idea by Martin, Only Murders in the Building is about three strangers (Martin, Short, Gomez) who live in the same NYC apartment building and also share an obsession with true crime stories–specifically, podcasts–and suddenly find themselves investigating one.

Ryan will be playing a musician who lives in the building. Another previously announced cast member, Aaron Dominguez (Shaft, Words on Bathroom Walls), will be playing Oscar, the “son of the building’s super who is returning to the swanky residence after years away.”

Microsoft’s decision to continue designing its controllers to be compatible with regular AA batteries, even into the latest generation, has been speculated on by gamers and journalists for a while now. But it looks as though we may finally know the reasoning, though it’s not as clear cut as it may appear.

According to an interview with Stealth Optional (originally caught by VGC), Duracell’s UK marketing manager Luke Anderson said that the decision is largely due to a marketing agreement between the two companies.

“There’s always been this partnership with Duracell and Xbox…it’s a constant agreement that Duracell and Microsoft have in place,” Anderson told Stealth Optional. “[The deal is] for OEM to supply the battery product for the Xbox consoles and also the controllers’ battery. So that [deal is] going to go on for a while… it’s been going on for a while and I think it needs to go for a while [more].”

Zack Snyder has two movies on the way in 2021–his reworking of the much-maligned DC film Justice League and the zombie action movie Army of the Dead. The latter will hit Netflix later this year, and the first images have now been released.

The images come via Entertainment Weekly, and show the film’s ensemble cast, who play a group of mercenaries who team up to raid a casino in post-apocalyptic Las Vegas. In one, the group stands in the opening to what could be a bank vault, while the other focuses on stars Dave Bautista and Ella Purnell. Check one image out below, and the other at EW’s site.
