For the Tribeca Film Festival 's virtual reality-focused Immersive program, the show must -- and will -- go on.

"It was a hard pill to swallow, of having worked so hard for an entire year and spent time away from my family...and then it just exploded," said Loren Hammonds, the senior programmer of the Immersive program. But he got through that disappointment quickly, he said. "My responsibilities just kind of … [Read more...] about Tribeca, shuttered by coronavirus, revives its VR festival: Smaller, virtual, free

Paramount Plus is the subscription streaming-video service set to replace CBS All Access , costing $10 a month ad-free when it launches Thursday in the US and 18 Latin American countries. Paramount Plus will include live news and sports as well as on-demand shows and movies, including originals -- all of which leaning into parent company ViacomCBS ' brands like CBS , MTV , BET , Comedy Central , Nickelodeon and Paramount Network, plus movies from the Paramount Pictures studio. But Paramount Plus won't have the one show most associated with the Paramount name: Yellowstone . The first three seasons of the cowboy drama are streaming exclusively on rival service Peacock . Down the line, Paramount Plus will have exclusive Yellowstone spinoffs, though, like a prequel Y:1883 expected later this year. Paramount Plus will have a library of more than 30,000 episodes and 2,500 movies, plus 36 original series debuts this year. Among those originals will be a … [Read more...] about Paramount Plus: Everything to know about CBS All Access’ revamp

When Tim Berners-Lee set the specifications of URLs, HTTP, and HTML protocols for the world wide web, he set off how information would be shared on the internet. In fact, the foundation and spread of the internet has come from the free sharing of internet links across a free and open internet.

HBO Max is the premium network's streaming service featuring all the channel's regular programming plus an amped-up library of extra shows, movies and originals. In an unprecedented move, HBO Max will stream all Warner Bros.' new, theatrically released movies at no extra charge the same day each film hits US cinemas this year -- they'll stay on HBO Max for one month only. The latest first-run film on Max is Tom and Jerry, an update of the classic cartoon that mixes live-action filming with computer-generated animation; it began streaming Friday. Next up will be Godzilla vs. Kong on March 31. (See the next section for a list of all the titles and their expected release dates and times.) But HBO Max has killed its weeklong free trial . That means if you want to stream originals, like the four-hour-long (!) Snyder Cut of Justice League coming March 18, or any of the Warner Bros. movies on its 2021 slate, including Matrix 4 and Dune later this year, you need to … [Read more...] about HBO Max: How to watch Tom and Jerry, Snyder Cut — plus, everything else to know
