While some, like 2015’s Attack on Titan and the upcoming Fullmetal Alchemist will be Japanese productions, an increasing number of them are being made as American remakes. Attack on Titan will actually be one of them, as will next month’s Ghost in the Shell.

The VFX team behind Avatar made the world fall in love with Rosa Salazar’s performance as a wide-eyed cyborg to the point that audiences simultaneously treated her as human while forgetting there was a human there at all. Now that Alita has landed on the Oscars shortlist for visual effects, Screen Rant spoke to the artists who worked on the project about how they designed the characters, what they learned from Avatar, and when fans can expect a sequel....

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban introduced the idea of the Patronus charm in Harry Potter canon. Since then, Patronuses have become one of the most iconic elements of the entire franchise. The spell itself, Expecto Patronum, is the only tool to combat the soul-sucking beings known as Dementors. These charms, if powerful enough, come in the form of an animal associated with the user’s happiest memory. The only snag in regards to conjuring a Patronus is their inherent difficulty....

Yet another security company is pitching high-paying customers on the ability to possibly crack iPhones running a version of iOS 11, Forbes reports. US-based firm Grayshift is reportedly advertising access to a $15,00o tool called GrayKey that offers 300 attempts to access data on encrypted iPhones, while a pricier $30,000 version offers unlimited attempts. As with Cellebrite’s claim last week, it’s unclear what specific version of iOS 11 may be vulnerable to the exploit possibly used by the security firm....

In addition to being a long-running TV series, HBO’s Tales from the Crypt also spent time on the silver scream, and here’s how those efforts stack up. Originally airing from 1989 to 1996, Tales from the Crypt was based on the popular horror comics put out by EC Comics back in the 1950s, which included a title of the same name. It would go on to become one of the most beloved horror anthology shows in history, with puppet host The Crypt Keeper becoming a pop culture icon....

The latest image from Agents of SHIELD season 6 features Sarge (aka. not-Coulson) and his team, front and center. In addition to being the first Marvel Cinematic Universe TV show, Agents of SHIELD is currently the franchise’s longest-running series ever, having outlived shows like Agent Carter and the Marvel-Netflix lineup. Evolution has (arguably) been the key to the series’ survival, as it’s ventured well beyond the mythology of the MCU movies to explore previously-untapped material from the Marvel Comics universe....
