A Brief Guide to All the Taika Waititi Projects We’re Still Waiting For

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-08-25 04:45:07

It’s just part of Hollywood that projects will be announced with a lot of fanfare and then fade away, with suspects both usual (scheduling conflicts, creative differences, budget concerns) and unusual (global pandemics, industry-wide strikes) to blame. But certain creators seem to attach their names to movies or TV shows that never materialize with greater frequency—including Taika Waititi. His diverse career includes writing, directing, producing, and acting (Our Flag Means Death forever), and

"Play stupid games… win stupid prizes." Cheat Day After filming those cheating AI executives canoodling at a Coldplay concert in Boston, the woman behind the viral video has little sympathy.

The New ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Betrays Itself From the Very Start

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-08-25 12:15:07

If you make an I Know What You Did Last Summer movie, one thing has to work above all else. Whatever the characters “did last summer” has to be bad enough for someone to plausibly return a year later and try to kill them. It’s one of the things the 1997 original gets right. A group of (mostly) drunk friends drive on a dark road, run into a person, and then, while he may or may not be still alive, throw his body into the ocean. Yeah, if I was hit by a bunch of drunk kids and left for dead, I’d fe

Subaru's third EV is the Uncharted (yep) with 300 miles of range and 338 horsepower

Subaru just screwed up our SEO with the launch of the Uncharted, an electric crossover with up to 300 miles of range that probably has nothing to do with the video game. It uses the same E-TNGA platform as Toyota's CH-R EV and strongly resembles that model. Due to arrive next year, the 2026 Uncharted will come in two versions, both with 74.7kWh batteries.

Remedy has announced plans to fix FBC: Firebreak and restore the good will of consumers after a rough launch earlier this year.

I can’t go any further without talking about the term we use to describe these children. Journalists, myself included, have called them “three-parent babies” because they are created using DNA from three people. Briefly, the approach typically involves using the DNA from the nuclei of the intended parents’ egg and sperm cells. That’s where most of the DNA in a cell is found. But it also makes use of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)—the DNA found in the energy-producing organelles of a cell—from a thir

Ordering wine at a restaurant shouldn't be a stressful occasion, but there is plenty of language and ritual associated with wine that can feel foreign to the casual drinker. One such practice is the obligatory tasting after the bottle is opened and before it's poured for you and your guests.
