Second standalone ‘Star Wars’ film will need a new director

Aside from the new trilogy, there were plans of developing “anthology” films or a series of standalone movies for Star Wars. Rogue One is set to be released next year and Josh Trank was working on the second unnamed title. Or at least he was supposed to. Trank said in a post on StarWars.com: “After a year of having the incredible honor of developing with the wonderful and talented people at Lucasfilm, I’m making a personal decision to move forward on a different path.”

Trank is working on the reboot of Fantastic Four. And there have been rumours that things aren’t going well on that front either. According to The Hollywood Reporter, writer-producer Simon Kinberg (who worked with Trank on Fantastic Four and the Star Wars project) was reluctant to work on another film with him. There is no word who’ll be replacing him yet but we’re sure we’ll be getting news soon enough.

Google adds search capabilities for apps using voice

For a while now, Android will let you open apps using “Okay Google” command. But this time, Google adds a bit more functionality to that. You can now say things like “Okay Google, show attractions near me on TripAdvisor” or “Okay Google, listen to NPR.” The company is working with a small group of companies to let you do more than launch apps with their voice search.

According to Android Police, some of the apps you can use include Flixster, Instacart, Lincoln, NPR One, Realtor.com, Shazam, TripAdvisor, Trulia, TuneInRadio, Walmart, Wink, and Zillow.
