A new short trailer for The Book of Boba Fett reveals a connection to Star Wars: Battlefront, bringing a specific location to life in live-action.
“Eagle-eyed Redditor u/yunggravyintern noticed a huge reveal within the grounds of Jabba’s palace. The palace itself isn’t new. We know from The Mandalorian that Boba and Fennec take over Jabba’s entire operation. But Jabba’s hangar, the star of a map in the seminal Star Wars game Star Wars: Battlefront, is faithfully recreated in the teaser.”
Agatha actress Kathryn Hahn learned about the title of her own Marvel spinoff series, Agatha: House of Harkness, at the same time the public did.

Before the release of The Matrix Resurrections this Christmas, let’s take a look back at the most divisive film in the franchise, The Matrix Reloaded.
“The world’s excitement for the 2003 release of The Matrix Reloaded was quantifiable. When the original Matrix opened in 1999, it grossed a respectable $28 million on its opening weekend. Four years later, Reloaded grossed almost three times that to the tune of about $92 million, one of the biggest opening weekends ever at the time. The Matrix had officially become a mega-franchise and everyone headed to the theater to see how Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus would attempt to battle the machines and save humanity.”
Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, the actor/director duo behind Anchorman and more, have officially parted ways as producing partners.
“Adam McKay hasn’t directed Will Ferrell—a guy with who his career was once synonymous within a movie since 2013. (That was Anchorman 2.) You could possibly chalk said professional split up to the divergent paths of the two long-time friends and producing partners’ careers, as McKay has focused in recent years on political movies like Vice and the upcoming Don’t Look Up (and building a wider production portfolio), and Ferrell put his focus on being, well, Will Ferrell: Professional funny actor guy.”
