Possibly

Just a few weeks ago, the Alicia Vikander-led Tomb Raider sequel was revealed to have been cancelled following much speculation about the franchise's future. It's still unclear as to what lies ahead for the property as another studio seeks to gain the rights. But some are already fancasting new actresses for the lead role, and Aubrey Plaza has emerged as a candidate. I can’t imagine a better Lara Croft and, apparently, neither can Edgar Wright. With that, Plaza shared some thoughts on possibly taking over the iconic…

Legally Blonde 3 is in the works, and The Office and The Mindy Project writer Mindy Kaling is behind the script. In other words, all ideas for the sequel get past her. One recent pitch the actress/writer/producer received is whether Reese Witherspoon’s look alike daughter Ava Phillippe could be part of the upcoming movie. What are Kaling’s thoughts? It sounds like she digs it! Mindy Kaling recently worked with Reese Witherspoon’s eldest son, Deacon Phillippe, who guest starred on her Netflix series Never Have I Ever…

Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. may have been the leading men of Tropic Thunder, but depending on who you ask, some might say Tom Cruise stole the show as ill-tempered, foul-mouthed studio executive Les Grossman in the action comedy. Donning a fatsuit, prosthetic hands and bald cap to bring this character he invented to life, Cruise’s performance, which included sweet dance moves, scored a Golden Globe nomination, and there’s been talk for years about Grossman coming back. Now those efforts are reportedly…

Space launches, specifically morning space launches, are causing spectacular shining clouds to appear in new places, according to recent research published in the journal Advancing Earth and Space Science. Some 50 miles (80 kilometers) above the ground float the highest clouds in the Earth’s atmosphere. Called noctilucent, mesospheric, or polar mesospheric clouds, these aggregations of crystalized water vapor are high up enough to reflect sunlight, even after the Sun has set or even before it has risen.Because of their…

Lenovo was one of the first companies to really nail 2-in-1 design, and ever since it’s been refining the formula for its top-notch convertibles. And while there are a couple small variables I'm not fully on board with for this year's edition, there's no doubt the new 14-inch Yoga 9i is continuing Lenovo's excellent track record. You get superb battery life, clever (and surprisingly) powerful speakers, good performance, plenty of ports and even an optional OLED display. In short, if you're looking for a light,…

The sinister schemes of Sauron the Deceiver bring many calamities to the Second Age of Middle-earth, something that The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will depict in earnest. But despite numerous teaser trailers and dozens of promo pics, we’ve yet to actually see the villain or what he’ll look like in the new series. After all, and as many Tolkien fans would tell you, Sauron is one of the Maiar, able to take on any form that he wishes. Back in the Second Age, the dark lord wasn’t clad in black armor,…

Until now, the oldest hominid fossil found in Europe was a jawbone which was determined to be 1.2 million years old. A jawbone fragment discovered in northern Spain last month could be the oldest known fossil of a human ancestor found to date in Europe, Spanish paleontologists said Friday. …

Astronomers have made an exciting new discovery, identifying a newborn pulsar that may possibly be only 14 years old. Scientists were finally able to observe the pulsar after the dense debris and bright energy emissions from the supernova explosion that created the pulsar finally thinned enough. This celestial formation is known as a pulsar wind nebula or a plerion. Found in a dwarf galaxy 395 million light-years from Earth, the object, called VT 1137-0337, was first observed in 2018 through the Very Large Array Sky…

The drawn-out bidding process for Kohl's doesn't appear to be coming to an end any time soon.It could take several weeks, if not longer, for a deal to come together, a person familiar with the situation told CNBC. The dialogue has been particularly lengthy because of the difficulty in securing financing in uncertain market conditions, the person said, adding that a likely per-share deal price at this point would be in the mid-$50s.Kohl's shares were up about 3.7% at $42.72, giving the company a market value of roughly…
