Russell Crowe Lends His Russell Crowe-ness to ‘Highlander’

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2026-03-08 10:25:17

After years of false starts, the next Highlander movie is finally coming from director Chad Stahelski and with Henry Cavill in the lead role. Cavill’s been the only casting we’ve known about for some time, but now we know his former movie dad, Russell Crowe, is along for the ride. Per Collider, Crowe will play a “key role” opposite Cavill, who’s still expected to be playing immortal warrior Connor MacLeod. As for Crowe, that’s a little tougher to determine; some outlets (like Deadline) have cla

In Brief European governments may be reconsidering their use of American technology and services, according to a new report in The New York Times. The flashpoint seems to come after President Donald Trump sanctioned Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, over the ICC’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant. In response, Microsoft turned off Khan’s email address. Casper Klynge, a

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-08 09:45:28

Is Mattel endangering your kid's development by shoving AI into its toys? The multi-billion dollar toymaker, best known for its brands Barbie and Hot Wheels, announced that it had signed a deal to collaborate with ChatGPT-creator OpenAI last week. Now, some experts are raising fears about the risks of thrusting such an experimental technology — and one with a growing list of nefarious mental effects — into the hands of children.

A select few will soon get to experience Tesla's robotaxi service for the first time, but they won't be alone in the car. The company plans to launch its fully autonomous ride-hailing service in Austin, Texas tomorrow, but a "Tesla Safety Monitor" will accompany the first riders, according to email invitations sent out to "Early Access Riders." It's unclear what capabilities the safety monitor will have, but they will sit in the front passenger seat of a self-driving Model Y. The email outlined

This Case Forced Me to Completely Rethink How I Handle the Switch 2

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2026-03-08 10:00:53

2025 The Nintendo Switch 2 is currently the featherweight champion of gaming handhelds—though largely because nobody can enter its weight class. No other device of its size—whether it’s a handheld PC or another retro device—can slip so easily into a backpack without weighing you down, like you’re lugging a sack of bricks around through every train station and airport terminal. That slim design comes with its own heap of drawbacks. The Switch 2 is a thin device with narrow edges that tends to d

I Get 5G on My Phone at Home, But Why Can't I Get 5G Home Internet? Here's What I Learned

If you can get 5G on your phone while you're at home, you should be able to get 5G internet at your house, right? Not exactly. 5G is no longer new, thanks to efforts from major carriers AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, but 5G home internet service isn't strictly available at the same addresses as 5G cellular service. I ran into this when I switched my mobile carrier from AT&T cellular service to T-Mobile phone service. I was immediately impressed with the phone's 5G performance. However, even though

Telegram CEO Says He’ll Leave His Fortune to His 106+ Children

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov is so obsessed with his own jizz that he’s spent years sending it to random women so they can inseminate themselves with it. As a result, the billionaire is said to have as many as 106 biological children. Now, Durov has promised that—in the event of his death—he will bequeath his massive fortune (reputed to be some $17 billion) to all of his wayward spawn.

It was a gripping and nauseating wonder, whose action felt uniquely visceral thanks, in part, to director Danny Boyle’s inspired use of a digital video camera. And there was a gut-wrenching

Let’s Talk About the Ending of ’28 Years Later’

One of the few flaws in Danny Boyle’s new film, 28 Years Later, is that it ends a chapter, not a full story. That’s because this new zombie tale is the first film of a proposed trilogy, one that has its second film coming in January of 2026. With at least one sequel guaranteed, Boyle and his writer, Alex Garland, can safely leave several threads lingering, offering hints of what’s to come. Let’s break it down with full spoilers.
