Last March, film duo Andy and Lana Wachowski announced that they were beginning work on a new Netflix series, Sense8, to be released as part of the streaming service toward the end of 2014.

Now the series, which will be a collaboration between the Wachowskis and J. Michael Straczynski, is getting some additional details in terms of overall plot and characters via TVLine.

Run Run Shaw (born Shao Yifu) has passed away at the age of 106 in his home in Hong Kong. Shaw will be forever remembered for his movie company, Shaw Brothers Studio, which during its heyday churned out hundreds of movies in literally every genre imaginable from kung fu to musicals, and then some!

Shaw can be seen as partially responsible for the gestation of the Chinese movie and television industry. Shaw got his start in the entertainment industry in the early 1920s with his brother Runme Shaw in Singapore and Shanghai, creating several companies that distributed and produced movies, and late 1920 opened up a series of movie theaters in Malaya that transformed into its own production company. In the late 1960s, Shaw founded Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) which broadcast in Hong Kong, and grew into a television empire that helped launch careers of several now international stars including Chow Yun-Fat and Maggie Cheung.

Edgar Wright, who will be directing and co-writing the upcoming Ant-Man movie for Marvel for a 2015 release, made a quick blog post this morning featuring a single word and image that is sure to cause some major conversation over where the plot of the movie will be going and which character we may see don the Ant-Man costume.

While Paul Rudd has been officially cast as Ant-Man, there has been no official announcement as to which man-behind-the-mask Rudd will play. IMDB currently has Rudd tagged as “Hank Pym / Ant-Man,” and most news sites have also attributed Rudd as playing Pym, but Wright’s update may just change that.

Almost immediately after Disney acquired the Star Wars franchise and announced that they would be making a new trilogy of films, there was also news of planned spin-off movies that would each center around one individual character from the Star Wars universe. Almost a year ago, we confirmed that there would indeed be Star Wars character movies, and we may be closer to hearing official news than we thought.

One of the characters that was brought up immediately as a potential candidate for a movie was Boba Fett, and now thanks to an off-the-cuff remark by TV producer and director Jon Schnepp, that rumor is getting some major fuel.

Although Netflix lost several great flicks as of the new year, there are a ton of great movies and television shows that have been added to Netflix Instant Streaming library as of January 1st. Some of these films have been available before on Netflix and are returning to the service, others are appearing for the first time.

It is sometimes hard to cut through Netflix’s browsing functionality, especially when trying to locate newly added movies to watch, so I’m cutting through the dreck and highlighting some great titles to add to your queue that are now available.
