Netflix Confirms Bright Sequel
Netflix has announced that Bright will receive a sequel after it became the most-watched film on the service in its first week of release.
Stars Will Smith and Joel Edgerton, alongside director David Ayer, are "expected to return" for the sequel, but no plot or release details have been given. Writer Max Landis does not appear to be involved in the sequel, however.
Bright is currently the number 1 film on Netflix in every country, and is among the biggest ever Netflix originals ever launched, including sequels and follow-up seasons.
We awarded the film a 7.0 review, calling it a "fun ride", but saying that it "could have been something truly special if it had slowed down the pace of its narrative to allow for a fuller exploration of its engaging world."

X-Files: Season 11 ‘Closer to What We Used to Do’ – Duchovny
After the heightened pace of Season 10's six-episode revival of The X-Files, series star David Duchovny has said that the eleventh season's expanded episode count (they're getting ten this time around) means that the show is able to recreate something "closer to what we used to do".
Speaking to Comicbook.com, Duchovny references the difficult job the show's writers had for the tenth season - bringing back a show that had been in hibernation for eight years, since 2008's big-screen X-Files: I Want to Believe. Fitting so much exposition into the six-episode event series was a tall order, and Duchovny seems confident that, with that exposition out of the way and ten episodes scheduled for the eleventh season, the show will be able to recapture a spirit closer to the series' original run.

Cloverfield 3 Delayed Again, Possibly Renamed
Paramount has confirmed that Cloverfield 3 - currently known as the Untitled Cloverfield Sequel, and formerly God Particle - has had its release date pushed back once again, and will now be premiering in theaters April 20, 2018.
This is the third time that the movie's release date has been pushed back. Originally scheduled for release February 24, 2017, the film was pushed back to October, and then again switched to a February 2, 2018 release.
It's interesting to note that while the God Particle name was used early in the film's development, that title seems to have been all but dropped at this point, with Paramount officially referring to the film as 'Untitled Cloverfield Sequel'. Under the name 'God Particle', the film has been in development since 2012 and was actually written before Cloverfield's first 'semi-sequel' 10 Cloverfield Lane, before later being co-opted into the Cloverfield universe.

Xbox One Kinect Adapter Discontinued
Microsoft has confirmed to Polygon that it has ended production of the Kinect Adapter - the USB accessory required to connect the motion sensor to the Xbox One S, Xbox One X, and Windows devices - stating that it is refocusing attention on "higher fan-requested gaming accessories".
Back in October 2017, Microsoft announced it had ended production of the core Kinect accessory. At the time, Microsoft stated it would continue to support Kinect users but it would appear that support is also beginning to wind down.
