Resident Evil 6 Is the End of the Anderson Movies
I spoke to Ali Larter today about her upcoming horror film The Diabolical (more on that soon), but of course the subject of Resident Evil came up during the conversation. With the recent news that Larter would be returning to the film series as Claire Redfield for its so-called last installment, I had to ask: Is this really the “Final Chapter” of the Paul W.S. Anderson franchise? The actress did not mince words in her response.
“I know it is,” said Larter.

Game of Thrones Author Doesn’t Know How He’ll End It
Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin hasn't decided how he'll end the series. He does, however, have a tone in mind for the finale of his book series, and by extension, the HBO series based upon it.
"I haven’t written the ending yet," Martin said in an interview with the Observer when asked if the ending would be particularly dark. "I’ve said before that the tone of the ending that I’m going for is bittersweet," he added.
LeBron James Still Hoping for Space Jam 2
LeBron James, the NBA star who recently acted in Trainwreck, apparently still has Space Jam 2 on his mind.
In a recent interview with Today, James responded "We hope so," when asked about a sequel to the 1996 classic. He continued:
"We're definitely missing Bugs and Daffy and Tasmanian Devil and every last one of them, so hopefully we can do some great things," James said.
In February, Deadline reported that Space Jam 2 was happening, with James as its star. Reporters at ESPN quickly learned from LeBron's sources that there's no film in the works.

Simon Pegg’s Real Contribution to Star Wars
Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams has shed light on Simon Pegg's involvement in the upcoming film. And while we already knew Pegg had a cameo in the film, Abrams says the actor's behind-the-scenes support was his greatest contribution.
"I will say this in terms of Simon: while he won’t be recognizable in the movie, in all honesty, his role in this – not the performance or the character – but his support and friendship has been massively important and helpful in the process," Abrams told EW of Pegg, who of course also played Scotty in the director's two Star Trek movies.
Automated Lawnmower From iRobot Gets FCC Approval
Consumer robot manufacturer iRobot has moved one step closer to freeing humanity from the shackles of walking behind, or riding on, lawnmowers. Its automated lawn-mowing robot has moved forward in the FCC approval process.
In order to navigate the iRobot lawn-mowing system uses a series of wireless signal beacons staked into the ground around a lawn. According to a Reuters report, the design required a waiver from the FCC.
Normally, the regulating body prohibits operation of a "'fixed outdoor infrastructure' transmitting low-power radio signal without a license."
