Game of Thrones Star Says Most Leaks Online Are Real
Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau addressed the emergence of spoilers about the upcoming seventh season of the show, saying most of the online leaks are real.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Coster-Waldau noted that since there are thousands of spoilers about each new season every year, a lot of them inevitably ring true, but "because there's 10,000 other spoilers out there," what's actually true "just gets lost in the shuffle." That said, Coster-Waldau acknowledged "it's all out there... if you can find it."
A Roseanne Revival With the Original Cast is in the Works
Roseanne is primed to follow in the footsteps of Will and Grace and Fuller House with a revival of its own.
According to Deadline, the classic sitcom is coming back in limited-series form, and it seems that all the key figures are returning as well.
As it currently stands, the Roseanne revival will last for eight episodes, at least initially. Roseanne Barr, John Goodman, and Sara Gilbert are all reportedly already signed on, and Laurie Metcalf and other actors from the original run are in the process of working out deals as well.
Multiple networks are currently bidding on the show. Naturally, Netflix has thrown its hat in the ring, but ABC, who aired the original Roseanne, is also hoping to bring the show back home.

Aquaman Still Learning to Handle His Powers in Solo Film
Aquaman is still learning how to control his powers in his upcoming solo movie, according to Jason Momoa.
In an interview with GQ Magazine, the Aquaman star revealed that his character is still trying to become both a man and a full-fledged superhero in the film. "He just doesn't know how to handle his powers. So it's kind of a coming of age for a young man to a man, or a man to a king," Momoa explained. "He's lost a lot of things and he's got to cope. He's an outsider."
The actor highlighted how Aquaman, being a "half-breed," didn't find acceptance in Atlantis or on the land above, but is ultimately "the best of both worlds."
