gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-17 17:58:36

The world already feels like it’s on the brink of doomsday, so we might as well gear up for another round of Captain Trips. The Stand, Stephen King’s doorstop-sized 1978 post-apocalyptic novel, is getting a new adaptation from director Doug Liman—with a twist. Instead of another series following in the footsteps of the 1994 and 2020 versions, this will be instead be a feature film. This news comes from the Hollywood Reporter, which notes that Liman is aboard to direct and produce, but “the proj

wired.com Jennifer M. Wood 2025-09-17 19:00:00

In 2017, Hulu made television history by becoming the first streaming network to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series, thanks to the phenomenon that was The Handmaid’s Tale (which returned in April for its sixth and final season). While Netflix has largely cornered the streaming market on original movies—and even managed to persuade A-listers like Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón, and Martin Scorsese to come aboard—Hulu is starting to find its footing in features too, securing the

Synthesizer giant Roland just announced a fairly bizarre contraption. The Mood Pan is the company's digital take on an acoustic handpan. For the uninitiated, a handpan is a version of the steelpan instrument that's been popular in Trinidad and Tobago since the 1930s. It's widely considered to be the only truly new acoustic instrument invented in the 20th century. However, handpans and steelpans take serious skill to play.
