If rumours are anything to go by, it seems Warner Bros. has their eye on actress and comedian Kristen Wiig to take on the villain role in the upcoming Wonder Woman movie. Wiig is being tipped to be the top choice to play Cheetah in the sequel but Warner Bros. isn’t commenting on the possible casting news. The movie is slated for a November 1, 2019 release so finding someone to fill in an important role is key.

According to insiders, Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins has always had Wiig on top of her list to play that part and she has let the actress know before she left to scout for locations for the film. Wiig reportedly had a recent meeting with top execs from Warner Bros. about this project. Guess we’ll find out soon enough if the next Wonder Woman film has found its baddie.

The song, which represented various locales in Canada, blew up on American and International radio stations and its video was one of the first works by Little X, who is now known as Director X and is one of the most sought after musiv video directors as well as a feature film director working on a Superfly reboot this year.

BlackBerry shutting down BB10 store, paid apps to disappear on April 1

BlackBerry OS 10 has hung around longer than expected even after developers and top-tier apps have long moved away from the failed platform. While many intrepid and loyal BB10 users have tried to get by with sideloading Android APKs just to get by.

The inevitable is coming to pass, however, as paid apps on the BB10 will be gone by April 1. BlackBerry will continue maintainance and support until 2019, but it really is time to let go and transition to another platform. BlackBerry transitioned to Android way back in 2015, and then effectively sold or licensed off its hardware business to various players, the most notable of which is TCL whose revivalist KEYOne handset brings the best of BlackBerry's design and security while offering the Android ecosystem and all the apps and services that come with it.
