John Lithgow, who plays Dumbledore in the new Harry Potter TV series, considered leaving the show due to J.K. Rowling’s public statements. He told The New York Times that he ultimately decided to stay because he believes the story itself promotes positive values that contrast with Rowling’s views. Lithgow emphasized that the Harry Potter story is “clearly on the side of good, against prejudice and discrimination,” but he anticipates being asked about Rowling’s views for the rest of his career.

Back in 2015, Saban still controlled the Power Rangers brand, and it had been a long time since a Power Rangers movie was made. No animated Power Rangers projects existed at that time, but leaked materials revealed Saban was collaborating with ZAGG Animation Studios (known for Miraculous) on an animated movie called Power Rangers: Origins. ZAGG’s animation style and character designs resembled those of Miraculous, but the project was eventually cancelled when work shifted to the 2017 live-action reboot.

This racing game is similar to Road Rash, letting you ride one of two motorcycles through iconic Night City locations, including Corporation Plaza and the Badlands.

On March 17, 2026, Studio Ghibli executives Toshio Suzuki and Goro Miyazaki gave a first look at a new project celebrating Hayao Miyazaki’s work. Called “The Panorama Box,” it will include fresh illustrations from his most famous films and be shown at Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse starting July 8, 2026. This display is part of the larger exhibition at the Studio Ghibli theme park in Nagakute, Japan. During the announcement, Suzuki also provided an update on Miyazaki’s health and progress on his current film.

Remakes rarely outperform the originals, but when they do, it’s a real treat. Whether it’s a more accurate adaptation of a beloved anime or a reimagining with stunning new graphics and a stronger narrative, these examples show that revisiting a story can be incredibly rewarding – as long as there’s a compelling reason to do so.

Despite being 85 years old, Hayao Miyazaki is still making films and has no plans to retire. Studio Ghibli started the year by releasing a beautiful visual from Miyazaki for fans around the globe. 2026 promises to be exciting for Ghibli enthusiasts, with both re-releases of classic films and a brand new project from Hayao Miyazaki in the works. According to a report from Oricon, Studio Ghibli President Toshio Suzuki and director Goro Miyazaki recently gave a first glimpse of Miyazaki’s latest creation.

You may recall, Microsoft announced its acquisition of Bethesda prior to the release of the PS5.
