Director Jeff Fowler reveals production is underway for Sonic the Hedgehog 2, the highly anticipated sequel to last year's surprise hit. Production is underway for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The first film released last year, and was a surprise hit. Making over $300 million worldwide, fans liked Sonic's design and Jim Carrey's portrayal of the nefarious Dr. Robotnik. Sonic the Hedgehog 2's release date is next April. Anticipation is certainly high for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The first film did a good job establishing the blue hero's universe. Sonic grew up on a more fantastical planet before being warped to Earth. Thus, the major aspect of the story was establishing Sonic living on the Earth. The other pivotal story element was Dr. Robotnik's descent into Sonic's greatest nemesis. At the end, Robotnik has completed his transformation into the villainous Dr. Eggman, mustache and all. However, the biggest thing the film introduced was Tails, opening the door to a wider universe of characters. Everything was set in place for a big followup. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was officially titled last month, complete with a familiar sounding tune for longtime fans of the games. Aside from Tails having a role, nothing is known about Sonic the Hedgehog 2's story. In the past, Fowler has discussed why certain game elements were not included in the first movie. Knuckles and Super Sonic were not included so that the biggest emphasis could be on establishing Sonic and Dr. Robotnik. With that out of the way, Fowler will have a golden opportunity for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Tails appearing is already a big deal, but it will be interesting seeing how else the sequel expands on the mythos. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is in a very unique position after its popular predecessor. As an introductory film, it's hard to find major faults with Sonic the Hedgehog. The big question is how it will handle Tails as it looks to expand the worldbuilding. Video game movies may always have a stigma against them, but another successful Sonic movie can help to continue to turn the tide. Plus, Sonic the Hedgehog would have likely made more at the box office if not for the COVID-19 pandemic. With Sonic the Hedgehog 2 over a year away, and presumably with cinemas returning to more normalcy, everything should be in place for an even bigger hit than last year's movie.

Disney's live-action Cruella, played by Emma Stone, gets a makeover turning her into DC's Harley Quinn in incredible fan art by Bosslogic. New fan art shows Emma Stone’s Cruella undergoing a makeover and turning into DC’s Harley Quinn. Disney’s Cruella, helmed by Australian director Craig Gillespie, debuted its trailer in February 2021, giving a glimpse into Stone’s punk interpretation of the One Hundred and One Dalmatians iconic villain. The movie was supposed to come out in December 2020, but it was delayed and rescheduled for a May 28, 2021 theatrical release. Set in London in the 1970s, Stone will portray Cruella de Vil before she became the evil designer obsessed with Dalmatian skin, as seen in the 1961 hit Disney animated film and other adaptations. The movie also stars Emma Thompson as Baroness Von Hellman, de Vil's employer before she reinvents herself as the infamous criminal known as "Cruella." In August 2019, months before filming wrapped, a picture of Stone as Cruella next to three adult Dalmatians was shown at Disney’s D23 Expo. This first look at the character showed Cruella’s signature black-and-white hairstyle, and it also offered a glimpse of Jasper (Joel Fry) and Horace (Paul Walter Hauser), the two thieves who also featured in the original Disney animated movie. Artist and art director Bosslogic on Instagram showed what could happen if Disney mixed its characters with DC ones. Stone’s Cruella was given a little twist by turning her already punk-rock look into that of another beloved villain, DC’s Harley Quinn. The fan art shows Stone rocking Quinn’s original black-and-red hairstyle and different-color eye make-up. The picture went viral online, with many praising the artist under the post and others defining the fusion of Cruella and Harley Quinn as "Disney’s Joker." Check it out below: Some commenters even went the extra mile, suggesting Stone be cast as Poison Ivy in a future DC Comics film. There are many similarities between Disney’s Cruella and DC’s Harley Quinn. Both of them are strong women who, through the course of the film, realize their true potential. For this reason, it makes sense to draw parallels between the two supervillains. There’s already hype surrounding Stone's performance in Cruella, and this incredible art only increases the anticipation for the Disney live-action prequel. Stone’s magnetic performance in the trailer, from her look all the way to her British accent, hints at what the audience can expect from the film. It remains to be seen how it will stack up against previous displays, such as Glenn Close's iconic performance in 101 Dalmatians (1996). Either way, it's clear Cruella has already inspired artists and will hopefully charm audiences as well when it release in May.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie by Fede Alvarez will act as a direct sequel to Tobe Hooper's original 1974 film, featuring an older Leatherface. The upcoming ninth Texas Chainsaw Massacre film is confirmed to feature the original Leatherface as an Old Man and act as a direct sequel to the original movie. The original Tobe Hooper-directed film was released in 1974 and quickly became a slasher classic. Texas Chainsaw Massacre followed a group of young twenty-somethings stuck in Texas when a cannibalistic family besets them. The late Gunnar Hansen originated the role of Leatherface in that film. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise has spawned numerous films, including various remakes and sequels. The last film, Leatherface, was released in 2017 and acted as a prequel origin story to the iconic villain. Before that, Texas Chainsaw 3D was released in 2013 and served as a direct sequel to the original film. Legendary Pictures bought the franchise's rights in 2018 and announced a reboot alongside talks of a possible television series. Fede Alvarez (director of modern horror classic Don't Breathe and the highly effective Evil Dead remake) produces the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He told Bloody Disgusting that the new reboot would serve as a direct sequel to the original film. It will also feature the original Leatherface, albeit a little bit older. To emulate the original's feel, Alvarez said that the film is prioritizing practical visual effects when it comes to the gore and murders. It is a direct sequel, and it is the same character. It is old man Leatherface. Everything is classic, old school gags. A lot of the approach that we had with Evil Dead – never VFX, to do everything on camera. It’s a very old school approach to filmmaking. Vintage lenses… it’s very similar to the original film. Alvarez's comments certainly seem to hint at the studio's hopes of repeating the success of the 2018 Halloween sequel. That film also retconned the numerous sequels that came out after the 1978 film to create a direct sequel to the original that featured iconic scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis. The Halloween reboot successfully produced two highly anticipated sequels, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends, set for release in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Unfortunately, little else is known about the reboot at this point, including just who will be taking over the role of Leatherface for Hansen. David Blue Garcia is directing the film with Eighth Grade star Elsie Fisher taking on the lead role. The choice to reboot the series and tie the new movie directly into the original is smart. Leatherface has become a mainstay of the horror genre. Reviving him for a new generation of horror fans could breathe new life into the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise after years of lackluster follow-ups that failed to capture the magic of the original.

The PS4 homebrew scene can enjoy not one but two new releases thanks to a team of modders including sleirsgoevy and AlAzif. Released at the same time are the Mira custom firmware compatible with PS4s on firmware 7.55 and an updated jailbreak also for PS4s on version 7.55. The exploit and payloads are also compatible with versions 7.50 and 7.51. However, they are still early releases with the exploit reportedly taking several tries before successfully running it. But you can expect some fixes in the days to come.

Swedish ISP Telia has handed over more information about its customers to so-called copyright troll law firms than any other in the country. However, it now appears to have gone one step further by handing over subscriber information to a law firm despite being told by a court not to do so. So-called copyright-trolling is big business, particularly in the United States and Europe. After trawling BitTorrent swarms for IP addresses allegeldy connected to the unlawful sharing of movies and TV shows, rightsholders move to identify the subscribers behind them. The purpose is to extract a cash settlement from the alleged wrongdoers but that can only be achieved after obtaining their real identities. That requires a court order compelling ISPs to hand over their subscribers’ personal data so that law firms can contact them by mail, suggesting that a lawsuit can be avoided if a sum of money is handed over. Sweden’s Copyright Troll Problem In 2020, law firms acting for these so-called copyright trolls obtained permission to force Swedish ISPs to hand over the personal details of subscribers behind 46,200 IP addresses. The vast majority of these, according to data compiled by Swedish ISP Bahnhof (which has never handed over customer information), were actioned by ISP Telia, which handed over the personal details behind 34,189 IP addresses in 2020 alone. However, according to an investigation carried out by Swedish news publication DN.se (paywall), Telia also handed over subscriber information when it was told it should not. Telia Exposes 55 Customers to Piracy Allegations When rightsholders want to access ISP subscriber information in Sweden they file an action at the Patent and Market Court. After assessing the submissions, the Court almost always gives its approval to a discovery process, which requires ISPs to hand over names and addresses behind the supplied IP addresses. On February 4, 2020, Telia was ordered to disclose the personal information of some customers but in other cases the Court decided against disclosure, meaning that Telia was not allowed to hand over the information requested in the applications. In the event, Telia failed to follow the instructions of the Court and handed over the personal details of 55 subscribers to law firm Next Advokater regardless. Law Firm Refuses To Discuss What Happened Next Telia has admitted that it handed over the restricted information to the law firm but what happened next is unclear. Next Advokater refused to inform DN whether the 55 Telia customers were sent a settlement letter or not. The law firm also declined to confirm whether any settlements were paid in response to any letters. Precisely why Telia disclosed the subscriber details to the law firm contrary to the Court’s instructions is unclear but at the moment it is being described as a mistake, one that the company is taking very seriously. Telia’s assessment indicates that the risk of negative consequences for its subscribers is high. It has contacted the affected subscribers and offered its apologies. Action By Telia To Prevent Similar Errors Moving forward, Telia says it is reviewing its systems to prevent the same error from being made in the future but the question remains whether the ISP will be punished for the security breach. Handing over private subscriber information to a party that has already been denied access to information is a serious matter, particularly when a court is behind the non-disclosure order. Add to that the intentions of the law firm, including applying maximum pressure to pay a settlement or even to sue, then the distress caused to Telia’s customers could be significant.

Last week law enforcement agencies in Europe shut down Mobdro, now described as the world's largest pirate IPTV app. At least in part, Mobdro raised revenue by giving its users the option to have their devices join the Luminati proxy network. According to Luminati's CEO, the company was completely unaware of the investigation. Last Tuesday, the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust) reported that police had made one arrest and detained three people for questioning in connection with the pirate streaming app Mobdro. As one of the newer breeds of standalone piracy apps, Mobdro offered live TV, sports channels and 24/7 content presented in an easy-to-use interface. Over the years Mobdro’s popularity sky-rocketed although there appears to be a disagreement among law enforcement agencies on the exact number of users. On March 10, Eurojust said that 43 million users had downloaded the app yet a day later, Europol more than doubled that estimate to 100 million users. Either way, Mobdro was huge and in a developing case, there is more to report. Europol now says that after three house searches (two in Spain, one in Andorra) four people were arrested and 20 domains were blocked under the authority of four court orders. In addition, bank accounts containing unspecified sums of money were frozen. Mobdro Revenue Generation One thing that both Eurojust and Europol agree on is the amount of money believed to have been generated by Mobdro. According to both agencies, the people behind the app made more than €5 million in illegal profits. Eurojust doesn’t say where that revenue came from but Europol is prepared to offer more detail. “The Spanish company behind the illegal activity earned its profits through advertisements,” Europol confirms. While any number of advertising companies could have been working with Mobdro, that wasn’t the only way the app generated income. As reported in April 2019, Mobdro was criticized in a security study for including a system that made it possible for a “threat actor” to log in to a user’s device and then navigate away from the device to the Internet, effectively posing as the user online. While this sounds scary, this was actually a ‘feature’ that Mobdro users opted into, to avoid seeing any advertising in the app. Users who made that choice found themselves being asked to consent to a EULA before their idle devices could be utilized by the Luminati proxy network. From there on in, their IP addresses and bandwidth could be used by others, as per the agreement. Europol doesn’t mention Luminati by name but the use of certain terminology piqued our interest. “Through the computer infrastructure and power, [the operators of Mobdro] were able to sell user information to a company related to botnet and DDoS attacks,” Europol explains. Given that an industry-funded study had already highlighted that Mobdro used Luminati, and that earlier reports indicated that Luminati’s network had been illegally used to launch a DDoS attack, it seems likely that Europol is talking about Luminati. The big questions, then, are whether Luminati appreciates this characterization and whether it is now part of the criminal investigation into Mobdro. Luminati Was “Not Aware” Of Mobdro Investigation “Luminati is not currently and has not been in any way involved in the law enforcement investigation against Mobdro. In fact, we were not aware of the reported investigation until recent press coverage,” Luminati CEO Or Lenchner informs TorrentFreak. “We have zero tolerance to illegal activities. When it came to our attention that Mobdro (a publisher which was using our commercial SDK) had been subject to a law enforcement investigation for alleged copyright infringement, we suspended their right to use our SDK.” It’s not clear how many of Mobdro’s users (Eurojust says 43 million, Europol 100 million) chose to remove ads and join Luminati but even just a small percentage would’ve added significant numbers of IP addresses to the Isreal-based company’s network. According to Lenchner, this would not be connected to illegal activity. Luminati provides services to Fortune 500, academic, and public sector organizations for entirely legal end-uses. “Luminati’s SDK is in no way connected to the alleged copyright infringement, as should be the case for any other SDKs that Mobdro was using,” he explains. “App publishers offer their customers to join the Luminati proxy network in return for using their app without advertising, thus enabling them to have a better user experience. “Publishers choose Luminati because an improved user experience leads to increased engagement. Enterprises use Luminati’s proxy network to collect open/public information on the Web such as product pricing, for ad verification and for fraud prevention.” Lenchner says that any users who opted to join the Luminati proxy network are protected by a “stringent and compliant KYC (Know Your Customer) process.” Luminati’s CEO says no data is collected about these users and their connections were only used for “pre-approved business/use cases.” In the event that any users of Mobdro clicked the EULA without reading it, they are able to review what their connections could have been used for here.

Welcome newbie

I thought this would be about D'n'B and Jungle, but it's Bruce Springsteen bootlegs

I remember this being very popular back in the day, in the same league as Empornium and Pornbay. But now it doesn't hold well against the other two sites.

What is this. Another failed attempt of someone trying to play torrent tracker?

Yeah everyone that joins here gets a free invite to a tracker of their choice. Welcome, Enjoy.

It's like IMDB had a download button for every movie in their database.

Good tracker. They are pulling releases from the best HD trackers so you will find encodes by the best groups.

How good is this for old content? Do they post old tv shows or they only upload new episodes as they are released?
